Me too! Me too!!
I've always dreamt of having a bloke who likes to entertain at home, and having a small group over once every week and I'll cook up a storm for the mini party.
I derive a lot of satisfaction from feeding people and see them enjoy my food.
I want that little corner shop to sell tea and lunch to the poor office workers in town who have to pay through their nose for food that's usually not worth that price. It's really feasible to sell fresh, good food and beverages, sell them at a lower price, and still reap profits!
when i was at korea.. I went to a small shopping mart at the hotel and bought some snacks, water. At the checkout, after collecting my change, I was waiting for the person to put my stuff into a bag.
Then the cashier looked at me. I looked at the cashier. I asked "bag?" cashier said "50won" (fyi, 1,000won = S$1,70)
Then I realised that plastic bags cost $ there..
Almost all the shops don't give you a bag unless you bought something bulky or wet or in large amount.
Which is good.. environmentally friendly

Comes with a zip-up top. The inside is insulated with some kinda silver lining. It comes only in cobalt blue with the Coles logo in white at the sides.
It's kinda small for him
He lugs this huge igloo box around with him
Cats used to taunt my dog but he don't give a rats ass about them and they stopped :P He don't give them a chance to laugh at him
His fav barking victim is the postman
Once he even squeezed out and chased the postman >.<"

Cats have a thwarted sense of humour... you've gotta love how intelligent they are!
I remember years ago, on a road trip in Malaysia, I was having a kampung roadside meal with my buddy when we saw this amusing incident. A flock of chickens were pecking about, a stray cat came by, looked at them, and lay down on the ground, pretending to nap.
The cock would kinda like show-off to his hens and walk as near as he dared to the cat. The cat would open its eye a slit, lazily lift up one paw, and watch as the cock made a huge fuss over that one raised paw, cawing away, "Baaaaak kakakakakakak!!"
The cat seemed to think it was amusing because this same scenario happened over and over again. It was really entertaining to observe!!

Have to share this with you. The little town I lived in while in Japan had this takeaway service. This guy had a daily lunch menu, serving only one thing for lunch which he personally delivers. But on Fridays, it's Mystery Lunch. How fun!

Actually, for small dogs, if you stop running and just stand there with hands on your hips and shout, "What?! Huh? What? What?" they usually just stop and look confused, and then walk away.
Ya lor teach Patches to ignore cats and you see that they no longer try to taunt her
The problem with my Spitz was that he was too intelligent for his own good and have a whole bagful of tricks.
My ex always said my dog is a cat in disguise. LOL

Don't do that to my Spitz coz he will attack :x
He's really nasty to strangers and I have to tie him up if there are guests coz he bites

I want a small business like that. Just cook what was freshest when doing my marketing in the morning. Serve the same few customers, know them well enough to call them by their first name. Close after afternoon tea. Open only on Mon-Fri because I'll be serving the office workers. No wish to expand. Just do everything myself.
Oh, forgot to add... I won't be serving customers with funny food allergies nor those who are fussy about food.

I will kick and hiss at him!
You know, when my cats played rough with me and bit me, I grab their paw and bite them back!
You should see the expression on their faces! Priceless!!
You know what, jetta, if I open a small eatery, I'd love to serve only men. Men tend to be less fussy about food and they tend to eat anything and everything.
Fussy eaters tend to be female... and gays.

You haven't met my dogs. They may be Maltese but they think they're pitbulls.

Orh... yeah hor. You so smart! Not bad... work four days a week and close by 4pm too! Hehehe!
Originally posted by jetta:You haven't met my dogs. They maybe Maltese but they thing they're pitbulls.
I don't like toy breeds.
All said, this Chinese mom and son were carrying this miniature collie about along Victoria St and it looked so cute and docile, I wanted one too!
