I then pour everyone some drinks , making sure Al gets his favorite . Setting that roast in the middle of the table , I take my seat as my roommate serves everyone some salad from the salad bowl . Once most people are done with the salad appetizer , I begin making slices of roast and serving a few pieces to everyone . Question: When were the plates set?
