ling_dtua_khaao Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Well I'm just having a look through TF forums while I wait for two loaves of bread to bake. One loaf is honey, oats and banana, the other loaf is basil, marjoram, cracked pepper, garlic, havarti cheese and potato LOL (basically some leftovers from the fridge plus fresh herbs ). My apartment smells GREAT. I'm thinking of abandoning math and becoming a bread baker full-time.... Maybe I'll start up a funky bakery in BKK that serves gourmet and experimental loaves to anyone willing to shell out premium prices and of course I'll have several good coffee options on tap and seats for those who need to devour their bread immediately. Any suggestions for location? Name? Theme? Music? LOL... --Ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ling_dtua_khaao Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 you're right... he needs coffee too --Ling "A mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems." --Paul Erdo"s (one of the 20th century's most famous mathematicians, he had no concept of real life outside mathematics... he lived out of a suitcase travelling between conferences and universities, his friends took care of all his finances for him, etc. LOL) [Edited on 11/11/2003 by ling_dtua_khaao] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyboy112003 Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Aha! I knew you were a coffee drinker Ling, I just knew it. How many blends will you have in this "not bread alone" business? How about a free cup of coffee to anyone who can solve the days math equation? Or, better yet, a free cup to anyone who can stump the Ling? Sorry, just rambling, too much coffee today! bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ling_dtua_khaao Posted November 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Good idea for my future business Bobby, thanks There's a coffee chain in Toronto called Timothy's which gives a free pound of coffee to the first customer each day to answer the daily trivia question correctly. So I'll have 2 or 3 questions per day, only one math question , on various interesting topics. I won't do "stump the ling" because I will go out of business... too easy to find a question I can't answer, and anyway, smartasses would start coming in to the shop and asking me unsolved problems, and students would be asking me problems from their assignments! Here's an apropos trivia fact: Canadians are the world's second highest per capita coffee consumers, after Colombians. I don't actually drink much coffee in a day, but I'm thoroughly addicted to what I do drink I don't need a program, my habit is under control man. Hey there is some very good Thai coffee! A lot of it is cheap robusta, but there are some nice 100% arabica premium coffees available, grown in the mountainous north and northeast. Coffee is a pretty recent phenomenon in Thailand, in terms of mass consumption, but it has taken off among Thai yuppees just like yuppees everywhere else in the world Vietnam and Laos also grow some beautiful coffees in their own highlands. The one lasting positive benefit of French colonialism in Indochina is that you can find excellent coffee and excellent croissants and baguettes in the morning in both countries, sometimes even in little towns. --Ling P.S. My two bread loaves are aroi mak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ling_dtua_khaao Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 So, has anybody shelled out 400B for the new super-premium cup of coffee at Banrai Cafe? And if you answered yes to this question, send me some of your spare cash, because you obviously aren't in need of most of it! --Ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyboy112003 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 There is no price too high for a good cup of coffee!!!! Hello, my name is Bobby and i'm a coffaholic. bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ling_dtua_khaao Posted March 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Even US$10 for a cup Bobby? That's what 400B is approximately. That would be an outrageous price in the US, but in Bangkok you can have a decent meal on the street for 50B still. --Ling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyboy112003 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Ling, your point is well taken my friend, but....As someone who NEEDS coffee everyday, the point is mute. If i would not have access to coffee on a daily basis, i would be reduced to a sniveling, weeping,quivering mas of man sorrow!! A begger on the streets, nothing more. So, maybe i would pay. bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
