The menu had no descriptions or items listed, only prices.

Choosing was a strange type of value assessment, it seemed.

None of the waiters and waitresses could provide any further information. 

I asked to speak to the chef, but they said they only had economists in the kitchen. 

I chatted to one person busing tables, and he told me that only accountants were trusted to take away the dirty plates. 

We decided to eat elsewhere.

Seal the envelope and imagine the look of delight when they open it. 

A heartfelt greeting expressed in a concrete way.

What a wonderful gift. 

Then….there is always the surprise arrival to join the celebration right there, in person – you made the effort to travel.

I like this effect both for a person I value and also for the customers of a company I cherish and lead.

Both are about supremely important relationships.

Several sets of steel plated forks.

The kitchen of the future.

Think pasta, and the tortellini is ready.

No guest has a dietary limit without it being catered to.

Until the kitchen rebels.

Until the end of time – al dente.

When to hold.

The small monkey wanted the banana.

The larger one took it, broke it in half and gave a piece to the small monkey.

Where did the phrase “one monkey don’t stop no show” get its wings?

Lower down the treeline were the debaters, the raters and the tattoo artists.

In economics there are terms created quite often, to describe an apparently new phenomenon.

Monkey Chain and Banana Coin….sound like a new treeline currency?

And…Normal service will be resumed tomorrow.
