And very often, fast food may just fill the stomach without nourishing much. The food we value is the one that not only has the right nutrients, but is also cooked with care and attention to ingredients, balance of flavors and texture.

And when we call, a polite person apologizes and puts it on the schedule “for day after tomorrow.” This always precipitates the same response from the business end of our phone, “…but, why did I have to call you again this month to get planned monthly service?”.
