Restaurant recycling is still, unfortunately, something most restaurants don’t bother to do. The reasons are many. Most waste companies don’t have mechanisms in place for business recycling. It’s messy. It stinks up the vehicle you use for recycling. You have to create an area inside or outside of your restaurant to store the materials intended for recycling. But still, recycling is easier and more common than composting.
Composting our restaurant waste is something we’ve been talking about for awhile now, and something we want to implement this spring/summer. Help from the local waste company would be wonderful, but I don’t think we’re there yet. Here’s an article in the Orange County Register that details a restaurant composting pilot program that’s happening there. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get something similar started here?
How many ways can I say this to convey the joy in my voice…
Air conditioning, climatisation (en Francais), klimaanlage (auf Deutsch), condizionamento d’aria (in Italiano), aire acondicionado (en Español), condicionamento de ar (no português), and finally, 空気調節 (Japanexe).
Come in, be cool (but you’re always cool! I mean in temperature), and enjoy our new, improved atmosphere! And thank you all so much for your great patience…we appreciate your support more than we can express in words!
I know many of you have probably seen this video multiple times, but every time I see it, it makes me happy. Hope it does the same for you.
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple’s house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, “Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.”
The other man said, “What is the name of the restaurant?”
The first man thought and thought and finally said, “What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know…the one that’s red and has thorns.”
“Do you mean a rose?”
“Yes, that’s the one,” replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, “Rose, what’s the name of that restaurant we went to last night?”

Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.
A few days later, the doctor saw Morris walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm. Later on that day, the doctor called Morris and said, “You’re really doing great, aren’t you?”
Morris replied, “Just doing what you said, doc: ‘Get a hot mama and be cheerful.”’
“I didn’t say that. I said, ‘You’ve got a heart murmur. Be careful.’”
