A Poison Tree

A few points to ponder ......

Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret

(Ambrose Bierce, 1842-1914, American author and critic)

In Germany they say, 'write an angry letter - but don't send it'

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend :

I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe:

I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I watered it in fears,

Night and morning with my tears;

And I sunned it with smiles,

And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.

And my foe beheld it shine.

And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole

When the night had veiled the pole;

In the morning glad I see

My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

by William Blake (1757 - 1827 - London, England)

Boleh Burger !

We need to create the Kids Menu for the weekends special. I suggested the Hamburger ! for the kids. Every kids love Hamburger .The story of Hamburger begins in October 1885, near the small town of Seymour, Wisconsin. A friendly and outgoing fifteen year old boy named Charlie Nagreen was driving his family’s ox cart down a dirt road amid wide open field. Charlie was going to Outgamie Countty’s first annual fair, where he wanted to earn some extra money selling meatballs. What happened next was the unlikely origin of a delicious sandwich that one day change the world.

As Charlie sold meatballs at the fair, he noticed that customers had trouble eating the and strolling at the same time. People were impatient. They wanted to visit Mr. John Bull’s popular beehives (encased in glass), to see the fancy new harvesting machines, and to enjoy all the other thrilling attractions at the fair. They didn’t want to waste time eating meatballs. Charlie suddenly had an idea: if he squashed the meatballs and put them between two slices of bread, people could walk and eat. And so Charlie invented the hamburger.

German immigrants lived in Charlie’s hometown of Hortonville, Wisconsin, and he later claimed that the new sandwich was named after the German town of Hamburg, long famous for its ground beef steaks. Charlie continued selling burgers at the Outagamie County Fair until 1951. By then he was an old man who liked to sing this rhyme while flipping burgers on the grill :

Hamburgers, hamburgers, hamburgers hot !
Onion in the middle, pickle on top
Makes your lips go flippity flop.

That the story of world famous food ! So we want to make our hamburger a wholesome and nutritious for the kids so we add up with a lots of mince vegetable and we are using the bun mixed with a lots of pumpkin seeds. Also, the size is small for the kids decorated with Malaysia Flag on Top !

And …. we named it Boleh Burger (literally translated as Yes You Can Burger). Taken inspiration from Mr Obama and Tun Mahathir. Yes you can do it !
