But HAHA, he liked the simple plastic fire truck we gave him best, since he and all of his cousins could actually play with it. That's when we learned how important that 1st birthday is in Hindu culture.

Anyhooo, my friend is a cook and is always saying, "Taste this, it's my grandmother's recipe." And I learned a valuable money-saving lesson from her: Don't by spices in the grocery store. For half the price, you get about a pound of spice at the Indian grocer. So I bought a bunch and packaged it up in cute little jars to share with co-workers and such.

And I'm still talking about food. All of my posts seem to be about books and food. Maybe the Pshrunk can find something interesting from that?

I'm not seeing anything unusual there.

$250, please. You can pay the laddy at the door.

Why, yes ... yes, I do. That's the best thing about Wendy's .... all the shake prep stuff is right up at the front. Really easy to watch. I never go through the drive through ... much too hard to watch.

But, hey .... I'm really quite nice, as long as I get my daily chocolate dose, and people do what I ask them to do ... promptly, quietly, and with a nice big smile on their face. I get quite enough smart mouth from the cats, thank you very much.

if i have to choose between the :expletivedeleted: smiley and the smite key i'd rather have a smite key. i've got a whole list of people i would use it on.

I worked at Wendy's while in high school. I was the one who was pretty but dumb... a clever ploy designed to keep from making burgers, as my only function was to dress in a "Wendy" costume, red yarn wig and striped stockings, puffy blue striped dress, and then give out balloons and toys to kids. It was like getting paid to play, and I never had to touch dirty dishwater.

I worked at Baskin Robbins two summers while I was in college. I liked the job, although some of the girls I worked with were a pain in the ass. However, I got lots of praise from the customers for making the soda extra creamy.
