Why is this place called “The Coffee Club”?

April 6, 2014 by admin

I am currently sitting in A Coffee Club establishment thinking, why do they even call these places “The Coffee Club”? They do not know about coffee, nor customer service …

The coffee and food is over priced …

The staff are asleep …

And this table behind me … see the one with all the plates … that the customers kept putting the dirty plates on, just so, they could sit down on another table? … it took about half an hour to be cleaned … and as you can see, they still have not finished.

Honestly, I whinge ever time I came here …

For a place that serves coffee day in and day out – they take too long, to make the actual coffee too. I cannot figure out why they have not worked out how to make coffees faster than in dribs and drabs.

Surely there are better coffee machines, bigger milk frothy jugs, faster staff – a 2 person configuration perhaps … hhmmm.

I just think, has the owner ever sat in here long enough to see how it works… or doesn’t …

Lastly, i thought a double was supposed to look ,,,
like this:

Not This:

Why Am I in this aisle?

July 27, 2013 by admin

I found myself in the marinade aisle this morning at Coles, searching longingly, and a little bewildered, at all the varieties of marinades for the chicken wings I just bought.

I was thinking:
* hhmmm, which brand is better;
* which flavour(s) should i get;
* what about preservatives, and crap like that
* what! One bottle costs how much?
* Hold on a minute – I can make a marinade myself – I’m sure i have a recipe at home …What am I doing?

So, I will make a Marinade Page, and update this post with a link to it.

Ok, not all the marinades will be wholesolme, but, at least, you can make them out of ingredients in our cubpoard and fridge already, and not have to buy anything new.
