13th July 2011 Hamburgers With Hearts

Despite what the name 'Heart Burger' might evoke, this new restaurant in Barcelona does not mean that the place is for lovers. Or yes it is, but for lovers of the highest quality burgers. Even so that's not the only reason the name implies either. The burgers in this establishment are made in the shape of a heart, as it's the world symbol of good health. All the food products served in this restaurant are ecological, from the meat itself (with only 4.7% saturated fat compared to those in other burgers of 11 -15%), to every minute little detail like the parsley, considered by most as decoration but very healthy vegetable.

There are 16 variety of heart-burgers, including one vegetarian. If burgers are not your thing, there are other food too like filet, entrecot, and most other popular courses though, naturally, heart -burgers being their star item. And, no additives nor conservative in them, but with added vitamin as well as antioxidants and less sodium, therefore benefits the heart and favour the function of kidney. At least that's what they claim.

It's not the set up where you queue up to get the burger wrapped in paper or squashed into a box. Customers are pampered with the top quality and the most attentive service from the moment they enter the restaurant, until they open the door to see you out with thanks and smile.

I am game to try. Not so much tempted by the promise of health benefits, but I am a true sucker of heart-shaped anything and it's implication of love.

13th July 2011 Tender Years, Sharp Brains

Little Children are often smarter than you give them credit for ...

 

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because, even though it was a very large mammal, it's throat was very small. But The a little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

 

Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.

 

The little girl then said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.'

The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?'

'Then you ask him.' The little girl replied.

 

A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work ...

 

As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.

 

The girl replied, 'I am drawing God.'

The teacher paused and said. 'But no one knows what God looks like.'

Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied. 'They will in a minute.'

 

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her class of five and six year olds.

 

After explaining the commandment 'to honour' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' 

 

Without any hesitation one little boy, the oldest of the family, answered. 'Thou shall not kill.'.

 

One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had severed strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.

 

She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mummy?'

 

Her mother replied, 'Well, every time when you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turned white.' 

 

The little girl thought about this revelation for a few seconds and said, 'Mummy, how come all of grandma's hairs are white?'

 

The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.

 

'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, "There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer," or "That's Michael, he's a doctor."

 

A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.'

 

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic Elementary School for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun wrote a note and posted it on the apple tray: 'Take only One. God is watching.'

 

Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note put next to them 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples.'
