Hi Dave,


 DD> Kids like to eat. That's a fact.

 RH> And some of them can really pack away the food. My younger brother was
 RH> one of them--from the time he started eating solid food, he would put
 RH> away enough food to feed a grown man. He has slacked off some over the
 RH> years but he could probably still eat more than Steve and me combined
 RH> at any meal.

 DD> We had a guy in our informal group who looked like a normal person but
 DD> he must have been hollow. Once, at Lum's, there was an AYCE buffet set
 DD> up and Trapper went for it. Several trips. Finally the owner's father
 DD> came over and told him "Sign says 'All You Care To Eat' not Eat All
 DD> Day!"

Makes you wonder where he stowed it all. I used to get salad type stuff
on one trip, then go back for entree and finish off with a small dessert
plate. At the buffets we just went to, I combined the salad and entree
trip, still ended up with probably half of what I used to get. Dessert
was much smaller also.


 DD> Some years ago I got into a fuss at a breakfast buffet with their egg
 DD> mechanic (I refuse to call him a cook) over the Hollandaise with the
 DD> Eggs Benedict .... not to mention that the "poached" eggs were cooked
 DD> to the point that the yolks were "set".

 RH> That's no cook.

 DD> He told me "If you think you can do any better ..." and pointed me to
 DD> the kitchen. I took him up on it and soon found what I needed and was
 DD> just about finished when this female voice asked loudy "What ate you
 DD> doing in my kitchen?!?!?" It was the restaurant manager.

 DD> So I explained how it came to pass. As I took the pan from the hob she
 DD> ran a finger through my sauce and popped it into her mouth. I nearly
 DD> clocked her one upside the head. That finger was a definite no-no in
 DD> any kitchen I have worked in - for pay or at home.

 RH> Should have offered her a spoon. She should have known better; I'd
 RH> probably not patronise that place again.

 DD> Didn't get a chance. She was a grumpy agitated (several expletives
 DD> axed) old trout.

IOW, you wouldn't have liked cooking in an environment like that
anyways.

 DD> She removed the finger from her mouth and asked "You want a job?"
 RH>  Bv)=

 RH> Not working for you, lady. (G)

 DD> Inzactly, I do not suffer that sort of behaviour gladly.

I don't either.
