I really don't understand how people can deny climate change, whether
you're left-wing, right-wing or something in between. But then there
are also people who think covid is a conspiracy to take away our

I was thinking in terms of preparing and offering the food to diners.
(Like the food is ready and setting on the table for family dining.)

physical act of dishing out food, or how many portions in the entire
recipe?
I believe that I have seen my way used but would appreciate
clarification from someone.
