Watching an adjacent diner's meal in disbelief and envy
i KNOW! when I was a waiter, years ago, when someone at a table would order fish they would say "please ask the chef to remove the head". and then someone at the table would order beef, i would say " should i have the head removed from that too?"

good for you! the 5-second rule prevails!
Eating Shrimp Cocktail in an Acceptable Manner
why would you call someone out on the way they were eating? choose peace, in all situations and let people enjoy themselves!
Eating Shrimp Cocktail in an Acceptable Manner
In a proper restaurant, the proper silverware to use would be those at the most outward of the place setting, at least if the captain/waiter/server is paying attention.
Example: If you're being served a soup course, then the soup spoon should be the at the outermost edge of the plate.
Eating Shrimp Cocktail in an Acceptable Manner
I was working as a "cater waiter" at one of the most expensive country clubs in the US, and we did a wedding reception that served 14 courses, french style. Which meant there were 14 (or more) pieces of silverware on the table. Even among the rich Paradise Valley folks, most of them would look to their tableside companions to determine which fork/knife/spoon to use. It was hilarious!

Best Thai or Korean Restaurants in Albuquerque?
The absolute best authentic, most wonderful Korean food in town is at the family ownedFu Yuang restaurant on Eubank, NE. We've been eating there since 1998, back when Mom was the chef. Now daughter is at the helm, and even a better chef than her Mom. They close early, call before you go, but is well worth it.
I can't believe anyone would recommend the koreanbbqhouse; I've eaten there twice and both times it was horrible.

Phillippine, Korean or Indonesian Restaurants in ALBUQUERQUE? Dim Sum too?
We've been eating at Fu Yuang's in Albuquerque since 1998. The original chef (Momma Kai) has since retired and daughter is now chef, and even better than her mom.
The downside; they close rather early More here:

Denver/Boulder Green Chile Sauce Recipe
First of all, green chile recipes are NOT Mexican. Mexican food is far more complex... When you think/taste/feel green chile recipes,like it or not, they are originally from New Mexico. The recipes that you think/taste/feel in Colorado are from New Mexico. And, like gumbos in Louisiana (where I'm from) green chile recipes (from stews and enchiladas to sauces) are vast in nature. Depends on the family. Some use ground beef, some use pork, I like chicken. What's not to like?
There is a "cajun" restaurant here in Albuquerque that uses so many tomatoes in their shrimp etouffee, I couldn't eat it. I thought "if you grew up eatin' that, I feel sorry for ya." But there are many types of South Louisiana dishes too. Again, depends on the family. Dark gumbos, light gumbos, thick gumbos, thin gumbos... seafood, chicken, sausage... you get the picture. Depends on how you was raised!
