Generally speaking, a Thank You and a smile go a very long way and cost nothing. I am sure that many of your customers appreciate the food and demonstrate this by returning. Miles,

I think if more people took a little time to think about the work involved in cooking a meal at home or in a restaurant they might be a little more sympathetic. If it wasn't for my sincere love of food the job as a whole would be pretty thankless. Miles Ladies,

Especially when it comes to housework and cooking, until that is, someone unused to these spectacularly thrilling exercises, has to do it instead for a change. Many's the time I've heard a frantic woman cry "I want a wife"... :) <i> perhaps it is most of all ourselves that we have to be satisfied with? </i> Amen. Cid Elsie,

How often have meals been cooked that took hours to plan/prepare that have not been appreciated; all those little touches in homekeeping that are either ignored or taken for granted and never commented on; the hours of work spent on projects or the like and someone else takes the credit for them? It is a wonder that we still all bother - perhaps it is most of all ourselves that we have to be satisfied with? Miles,
