Who cares if you're squeezing catsup on cardboard...your writing style and wit is enough to keep me smiling/reading. If you need someone to wash dishes during the summer in your new cafe, just hit the 'order up' bell! (I use a part Clorox solution, by the way.)Darlahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13467577867937506763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997981953920650643.post-81260989784034123662008-12-12T10:27:00.000-08:002008-12-12T10:27:00.000-08:00testing. testingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997981953920650643.post-14579140327468440372008-12-05T12:07:00.000-08:002008-12-05T12:07:00.000-08:00I'll have to try this recipe sometime over winter break. I love the Starbucks version, and I also like their chocolate muffins with the cream cheese - just had my first one the other day!Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08189129489024165828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997981953920650643.post-87376724299543628202008-12-05T09:38:00.000-08:002008-12-05T09:38:00.000-08:00Open a cafe!!

I've always wanted to open a coffee shop/cafe/book store of my own. Do you think New Zealand would have a glut of those in the market? <BR/><BR/>In Wichita, you used to be able to go to Toc's Coffee House and the Beacon 24 hrs/day (and they're local!) but they've since scaled back. *sigh*Miss Katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18280605191095596615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997981953920650643.post-91327715515572052652008-12-03T15:08:00.000-08:002008-12-03T15:08:00.000-08:00I am so coming to your house... Or I'm dragging you to mine to help me with these. I'm a horrible muffin maker.<BR/><BR/>(heart)<BR/>TreeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997981953920650643.post-37401020276615309952008-12-03T14:29:00.000-08:002008-12-03T14:29:00.000-08:00I still maintain we need to open a vegetarian cafe, with all of the above recipes, and then some (including some of my own I&#39;ve whipped up in the last years--like the vegetarian pizza, spaghetti, lasagna, bean soup, pumpkin apple spice banana nut raisin bread, etc.). Let&#39;s do it in New Zealand.<BR/><BR/>And bring it out in carts like Dim Sum. What a variety!<BR/><BR/>What would you call it? You seriously need your own business.<BR/>Radio, and a cafe...why not?<BR/><BR/>You could have headphones in certain lounge chairs and on neighboring tables (or a room devoted to such) for those silitary ones wanting to listen to NPR as they...aggrandize. We would also have wifi access, a tea kiosk, a coffee bar, and a Fair-Traded hot chocolate bar.<BR/><BR/>Possible names: Karat Kat&#39;s (trying on/borrowing diamonds for wear during meals, w/ cats &amp; spiritual/zen/peace decor--I can see women begging men to take them here, and the food, of course, is the main attraction.). <BR/><BR/>Or call it the &quot;Gastronome&quot;. &quot;Earth Harvest&quot; (I want to make a homeless community volunteer-run soup kitchen someday, and plan to use this name.), &quot;KK&#39;s Cafe&quot;, or &quot;The Pickle&quot;, the original name of your blog. <BR/><BR/>Use only the freshest, locally produced organic vegetarian/vegan ingredients.<BR/><BR/>I will not be heartbroken if you go into business without me, but surely these skills must be put to widely marketed use. I know so many people whom I know would love to buy your food, if available.<BR/><BR/>And I think our business needs to be open 24 hrs.<BR/><BR/>Where can you get a vegetarian, sit-down meal, at any time of the day, short of Ihop? Nowhere. That&#39;s why we&#39;ll make a booming profit. That&#39;s why we can stand to take some business courses.<BR/><BR/>What an opportunity! What do you think? And if we did, when do you think we can begin working on ideas for it?Miss Karenhttp://www.myspace.com/aerialrosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997981953920650643.post-7061950562562635462008-12-03T07:23:00.000-08:002008-12-03T07:23:00.000-08:00Have you tried one from Starbucks?

A little surprising-- The cream cheese was kinda rich, but after the second bite, I found it to be quite scrumptious. :)Raymondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01872756416526828507noreply@blogger.com
