...complex that surrounded it lay abandoned. Ten years later, only the foundations were still visible to Nick Adams and Marjorie as they row along the lake shore, fishing. Nick says that he can only barely remember the mill working. Marjorie loves nights like these, fishing with Nick. She says the fish are feeding, but Nick counters that they will not strike and be caught. The two pull the boat up on a shore and cut up the perch that they have caught for bait. They go back out to set the lines. Then, the two pull up on shore again. Marjorie asks Nick if something is wrong, but he claims not to know what is bothering him. They make a fire and put down a blanket. She summons him to eat their picnic, even though he says he does not feel like eating. They eat in silence. Then, they make a little conversation. Nick teases Marjorie, and she becomes frustrated. She asks again what is wrong, and, after some prodding, he finally tells her that he is not having fun anymore. She asks whether love is any fun, and he says no. She leaves without a goodbye. Nick lies there for a while. Bill arrives and asks whether she is gone. Nick tells him that she is and that there was no scene. When Bill asks how he feels, Nick tells him to go away. Bill takes a sandwich and goes to inspect the fishing rods. The title of this story refers to two things: the end of Hortons Bay as a prosperous town and the end of Nick and Marjorie’s relationship. Both endings are important because they signal the end of an...

...somewhat humorous paradox’s that keep us hungering for more of this insightful and exhilarating book. In these chapters Pollan explores the dilemmas facing us through his own experiences in choosing to eat as a Hunter-gatherer. Using poignant language that unfolds naturally he depicts the risks of gathering or hunting foods from various perspectives. His flowing logic in making his choice is laced generously with support from sources such as Walden, Thoreau, Leopold, Shepard, and others, thus giving credence to the entire process. This thorough, well supported reasoning frequently gives rise to subtle ironies making the American dilemma of eating somewhat laughable and the book all the more fascinating. Pollan keeps the reader mentally engaged and yearning to learn what absurdity the next round of reason might expose regarding our eating dilemma. In his treatment of mushroom hunting you can see his mother warning him that some mushrooms are poisonous as a little boy. Later, that experience affected him when he picked chanterelle and he discarded the mushroom since his field guide left him uncertain. With this tale of the...

...restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate themselves on factors including speed (see fast food), formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes, such as automated restaurants. Restaurants range from inexpensive and informal lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with simple food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and fine wines in a formal setting. In the former case, customers usually wear casual clothing. In the latter case, depending on culture and local traditions, customers might wear semi-casual, semi-formal or formal wear. Typically, customers sit at tables, their orders are taken by a waiter, who brings the food when it is ready. After eating, the customers then pay the bill. For some time the travelling public has been catered for with ship's messes and railway restaurant cars which are, in effect, travelling restaurants. (Many railways, the world over, also cater for the needs of travellers by providing Railway Refreshment Rooms [a form of restaurant] at railway stations.) In recent times there has been a trend to create a number of travelling restaurants, specifically designed for tourists. These can be found on such diverse places as trams, boats, buses, etc. Restaurant staff A restaurant's proprietor is called a restaurateur /ˌrɛstərəˈtɜr/; like 'restaurant', this derives from the French verb restaurer, meaning "to restore". Professional cooks are called chefs, with...

...During the 20th century the Mexican culture has changed rapidly. The contemporary life in the biggest cities has, in many ways, become similar to United States and Europe. However, most Mexican villagers follow the older way of life more than the city people do. There are a few etiquettes that are valid around Mexico when it comes to social relationship, greeting, dining, attire, opposite sex, shopping, and bargaining. In Mexico, the greeting and meeting formalities are very important, it is considered rude to fail to follow social protocols. It is essential to use physical contact to build trust and respect with others. Mexicans often hold a gesture (hug or handshake) longer than Americans and Canadians do. In social situations man shake hands until they know someone well, then they progress to more traditional back slapping and hugs. When women greet each other in social situations they usually do not shake hands, instead pat each other on the right forearm or shoulder. Men bow when greeting a woman in Mexico, and shake hands only if she extends her hand first. But, in business situations women usually offer a handshake. Mexicans are all about physical contact, it is essential. Dining etiquette in Mexico is important to follow if ever dining at a restaurant or in a Mexican home. When dining at Mexican´s home its necessary to remember to always show up 30 minutes or later in most places. Because arriving on time or earlier than planned is considered inappropriate. If you...

...Jose’s Authentic Mexican Restaurant Case Study 1. How should quality be defined in this restaurant? Quality at this restaurant (like any other) should be defined by the quality of food, customer service and making sure the customer leaves thinking he got his money’s worth from the food he was served. Since Jose’s is located in a business district, getting higher tips should not be very hard if the food and customer service is top notch. Like all business professionals, time is of the essence and one of the most important factors that will stand out for Jose’s in terms of quality would be the speed at which the food is served. Excellent food and a friendly wait staff can only enhance the quality and reputation of the restaurant further. 2. What are the restaurants costs of process failures? The restaurants costs of process failures include bad reviews and loss of repeat customers. In a business district just outside a large metropolitan area, like where Jose’s is located, word of mouth spreads fast and if there are frequent grumblings around the quality of food and customer service, then it will ultimately lead to a decline in the bottom line of the restaurant. With the advent in technology, with apps like Yelp, Facebook and other social media apps, negative experiences and reviews are spread much faster than positive ones. The costs of process failure at a place like Jose’s could prove to be fatal, if correctional steps are not taken immediately. 3. Use...

As my girlfriend and, I were escorted to are seats we could not help but notice the fine art of 1950s style car paintings and, little snippets of memorabilia. As we were seated a smiling face asked if we would like drinks. My girlfriend wanted sweet tea and, I requested a Coca-Cola. The waitress was off to get are drinks and returned without delay in less than two munities. It was at this time she asked if we were ready to order. We both declined as were not ready. That was only the first of four times that I counted before we were ready and, we had only been their seven minutes before we ordered. I felt like I was being rushed out. Then while eating she asked us no less than ten times if everything was ok. I understand that a server should ask the guest how everything is or if the guest needs something but, it felt like this girl was pestering us. It was almost as bad as the food. After a normal twenty mutinies of wait time we were served our food. My girlfriend ordered the super bird a turkey and Swiss sandwich on grilled sour dough bread with French fries and, a side order of mozzarella sticks. I had The Lumberjack slam which is two eggs, two slices of beacon, two sausage links, a slab of ham and, two...

...We will use a concentrated marketing strategy. Concentrated marketing is growth strategy in which resources of a firm are focused on a well-defined market niche or population segment. At that area, there are university, companies, and hospital, this is a perfect place for us to effectuate our plan: Open a breakfast take away shop. As we known, breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, and for good reason. There are a few reasons people don't eat breakfast in the morning such as not feeling hungry, late for school, work and diet. Eating breakfast is a great way to get your metabolism working well for the day. According to our survey, there's no competitors because most people at that area sell Vietnamese foods such as: noodles, phở, and rice. The price is from 18,000 to 25,000 VNĐ. Moreover, it takes you 15-30 minutes or more to find a seat, waiting for your foods and eat. It may be inconvenient for busy people. So we choose sandwiches, bread, kimbap and instant noodle to sell, it’s a kind of fastfood, and very convenient for busy people. These foods can be taken away easily and help you spending more time on doing your business. Tuesday will be your happy day, just 13,000 vnđ for a yummy breakfast with sanwiches/bread/instant noodle/kimbap + fruit juice/milk instead of 18,000 vnđ.

That’s between around 1 lb and 2 lb a week. We assessed that for a safe and healthy weight loss she will need at least 6 month (approx 20 kg).
