Hmm … I already have my dream job! Connecting people with books and information at the public library has always been my goal.
If the library suddenly disappeared, I think I would open a bookstore/bakery with a couple of the women with whom I work — did you know librarians are fabulous bakers?
We’d open it in the historic town where we live, in one of the storefronts downtown, and be open from 6 a.m. until 3 p.m. so we can all be home in time for family dinners.
We might have a couple special evening openings a month with a local author signing or even a local musician entertaining. We would sponsor a book club, and perhaps an annual young author contest. Baked goods would include fresh biscuits and doughnuts every morning, muffins, pastries, pies and different homemade breads. No doubt we’d have coffee, juice, hot chocolate, milk, etc., too.

Ladies, your businesses sound fabu. In fact, I’d like to be your first ‘virtual’ customer; however, after all of that beauty treatment, feel good, look good, new style… new you, you ladies should be starving. So feast your pallets in this direction. This business is aesthetically designed to your specific taste (literally). It is a health food boutique that is set up to the specifications of each of the clients. At this fooderie- boutique, you would receive a council session, while your desires were determined, your likes & dislikes along with the discovery of any food allergens. From this initial session, a plan is tailored just for you.

I’ll tell you what; these 1200 calorie per day meals would be the most delectable, tastiest, and indeed some of the most fulfilling parts of your day. Who said diet food has to be styrofoam, chalky shakes & rabbit food? Picture yourself eating this ensuing spectacle placed on your lunch plate : a studious California version of lettuce & spinach, tomatoes, cucumbers, hearts of palm, arugula, sliced red onions, sun dried tomatoes (in proportion) & capers served over a grilled salmon fillet ,topped with lightly tossed shitake mushrooms deglazed with white wine sauce. For dessert, a proportioned size of passion fruit mousse. I promise you, it definitely taste better than it sounds, especially since the meals can be delivered.

This would be business would cater to all your food desires without the guilt. The chefs here would be fanatics for the integrity of fresh ingredients and simplicity in cooking, with the challenge of making each dish more appealing, and more desiring to your appetite than the one prepared before it. All of these dishes are under or between 350-500 calories for a 1200-1500 calorie per day budget consisting of or between three meals. You may struggle at first, but in the end, all resistance is futile. Bon Appetite!

I have my dream job… I make video games. I guess if I wanted to upgrade my job, my boss would listen only to my ideas and ignore all the people who don’t agree with me. But honestly I wouldn’t want to be the boss, I would hate having to deal with the publisher, hiring and firing, and the money end of the business. What I do right now is write quests and dialogue and invent characters, and that’s pretty sweet work.

I would definitely patronize creadus’s business. Calorie count seems a little on the low end, though. I’ve found that I lose most weight on a 1600 cal diet with a good daily workout - fewer calories than that and the weight loss actually slows down.
