I just hadn't been there often enough to know that. There is a restaurant that is fairly remote and when we were working in the area we often went there for lunch. Not only was there no other place around, but the food was good. Then they started closing at odd times. One week they might close Wednesday at 1 pm... because busy was slow. Then they would be closed Tuesday morning.... because Tuesday had been slow the week before. When we spoke to them about their erratic hours we tried to explain that if people drive all the way out there for a meal and find the place closed they aren't likely to come back. It wasn't long after that they went under. It has since reopened under new management. You might be able to get away with that if you are in the midst an area with a lot of restaurants. If people find you closed they will just go to another nearby spot. When they have to drive at least 10 miles to the next restaurant they aren't going to bother coming back. |

If you have days you will be closed you need to be consistent and not one day one week and another day the next week. Apparently some people have no idea how to run a restaurant. I know I wouldn't but common sense goes a long way when running a business. |

We've got a restaurant that normally is open 7 days a week, but for the duration they're open Wednesdays through (IIRC) Saturdays. I bet Mondays and Tuesdays were always slow for them, so it's not worth opening for take-out on those days. Sundays were "dinner menu all day". It's a German restaurant. Their current model is to offer sausages and side dishes cold, and customers can reheat at home. None of their usual specialties like sauerbraten or Wiener schnitzel (which wouldn't travel very well anyway). It keeps their costs down, while still providing delicious food. Three weeks ago we ordered from them, and the experience was very successful. Cindy Hamilton |

But you do know there are other jobs to be had other than just nursing? That is, if you _really_ want a job or do you just like talking about getting another job? Is talking about getting a job just another way of trying to be the center of attention and eliciting comments? Does it help your ego to say "I'm going to get a job!" |

From reading your comments on this subject I HIGHLY suspect you've ever eaten a rum cake. I've been making rum cakes for Christmas since Washington crossed the Delaware. Sit down, this will come as a shock, a yellow (preferred) or a white cake mix is used. It's not soggy by a long shot; easily sliced and enjoyed. > I bought a small one pound fruitcake last season and > soaked it a time or two with that Jim Beam Apple > bourbon whiskey. Nice stuff.

You can see by the picture in the above recipe it's is not soggy in the least. Slices very nicely and a dollop of barely sweetened whipped cream goes great with it. A cup of coffee alongside is pretty good, too. |

You probably should try making a hot milk sponge cake if you've never made one before. It's a simple, basic, and classic, cake. I can't say if the Brits have a history of making it. The Mexicans will pour sweetened milk on these cakes and frost it with whipped cream. I don't recommend that you do that because that cake might kill you. It certainly would kill me. I have never made a 'hot milk sponge cake' ... ever!! Are you talking about boxed cake or scratch cake? As you know I haven't used a box mix yet, but would you please share a scratch recipe please? I've got a cross rib roast in the sous vide. 129 degrees for 14 hours. It's bagged with dark soy sauce, sugar, black pepper, and oil. I use dark soy sauce because I'm not going to bother with browning the meat. It's going to be sliced thinly and served cold in sandwiches. Sous vide turns an awful cut of meat into something awesome.

Its good for people who get a package delivered to the wrong door, lost dogs and cats, reporting suspicious characters in the hood, rounding up people for neighborhood activities, announcing special activities through Parks and Recreation, announcing road closures etc., wild animals, break-ins.

It was all rigged . So dinosaurs are > still alive. :( I didn't say that could not be better qualified than a white guy. That would be hard to judge if they are rated on different scales. How is is supposed to work? Are white males in the armed forces expected to have proven themselves in combat in order to get ahead but women and non whites don't have to have that same experience? FWIW I grew up in a very white Canada. The larger cities had China small towns and most cities and towns had at least one Chinese restaurant, but just about everyone else was white. I saw only a handful of black people in my youth. It wasn't that he all disliked blacks and other people of colour. They just weren't there. That started to change in the 60s and 70s when we started to have a lot of immigration from the West Indies and Asia. The area where I grew up went from being almost totally white to being very diverse. All cops were white, because everyone else was. They also tended to be large men because they were expected to have to be able to carry their own if situations got violent. There were minimum height and weight requirements. There were a number of black men and south Asians recruited, but east Asians and women had a hard time meeting those standards. It was time for change. They argued that modern police methods had reduced the need for brawn for cops to do their job, so recruits no longer had to meet that minimum and weight. It was shortly after they dropped those standards that I had to attend a course at a police college at the same time there was course for their new recruits. There were lots of tall and heavily built white, south Asian and black men. There were also quite a few women and Chinese men. Curiously, the only people who would not have met the old standards were the women and the Chinese. There were no petite white men, no petite black men. For some reason, they still had to meet the old standards. One might have expected that if those old standards were no longer relevant a small black or white man should have fit the bill. Go figger. |
