Oh, and I would have loved making at least a few trips as the driver of a truck-train in and around your outback while I was still trucking all over the place here in America.

All the kids in the school were able to imprint their hands, along with teachers and volunteers like myself. Now that my two oldest are college age, it is fun to go back and hunt for their 10 and 12 year old selves' handprints. I think it is a grand idea :)<br /><br />If you work in any form of service/ hospitality / retail, you have to develop a fairly thick skin against the not so desirable traits of humanity. For me, the customers who feel <i>entitled</i> tend to get under my skin. My sweetheart kindly allows me to rant. Then he sends me links to Zen sites. <br /><br />Hahhahaa!<br />xxxred dirt girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12939283533222061484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-91335527287967968542013-02-23T12:17:12.694-08:002013-02-23T12:17:12.694-08:00No, soubriquet...cheapskates, freeloaders and gree...No, soubriquet...cheapskates, freeloaders and greed doesn't surprise me, but it sure annoys the hell out of me. I saw much of it when I worked in the hospitality industry, in particular...and it's something I will never get used to. I hate greedy people...it's as simple as that.<br /><br />As for us putting our imprints into the floor on the shed...the majority of the floor surface was completely covered by shelving etc., when the shed was fitted out and filled with goods etc. so the imprints would barely have been noticed anyway. It was, after all, just a storage shed...and the only people accessing it were my staff and me. He was just a person with no sense of the fun. Sour old puss!<br /><br />Thanks for popping in, soubriquet. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-46119652080703722382013-02-23T06:12:32.372-08:002013-02-23T06:12:32.372-08:00Handprints and graffiti in wet cement... When I fi...Handprints and graffiti in wet cement... When I find messages from the past, I'm pleased and intrigued. My favourite handprints ever were in a roman amphora I borrowed from the museum when I was doing an 'Artist in School' residency.<br />Three sets of prints, a man's, a woman's, and a toddler's tiny hands, all left in the damp clay of a roman pot, dug up after nearly two thousand years in the earth. The pot travelled from its place of origin in sicily to northern england, filled with wine. <br />The makers are long gone, but those handprints brought them to mind for me, a father, mother, and child, together on a sunny day.<br />When I lay concrete myself, I screed the surface flat and smooth... And if I caught someone poking their hands in it, I'd be likely to be unamused.<br /><br />As for Happy Hour, it is, by definition, designed to lure in those people who would otherwise not be customers. Cheap drinks and free snacks, will inevitably attract cheapskates and freeloaders.<br />Are you implying that it surprises you?soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-54123070154758758432013-02-22T17:52:22.671-08:002013-02-22T17:52:22.671-08:00Hi Lady Di...I rarely make coleslaw for myself the...Hi Lady Di...I rarely make coleslaw for myself these days; but I did make loads of it when I was cooking professionally. I never used mayo on it...I always used sour cream. I'm not a big lover of mayonnaise...and that's probably why.<br /><br />I've just put a huge pot of chicken-vegetable soup on the stove...and I'll be weak from the aroma and starvation by the time it's ready!!!

LOL I have run across folks who cannot take a joke and they are very surly. I was taught to make mayonnaise slaw by Mother and we never added fruit or sour cream and yogurt. I think that half head of cabbage in my frig needs to be used trying your recipe.
