Infinitives and Gerunds

Ruud Gullit and D.Maradona were my favourite football players. 

julito, you have got a good chance to develop the same in Belarus :)))) But please take Maradona with you ( I would like to meet him in person)

If you so sure that I will do it for you, I will do my best “to set” your bussiness in Belarus. You will be content about the profit of your idea  

Kotleysa , I know that you will do that for me   Argentine people are not only famous by  players like Messi and Maradona, argentine steaks  and wine also. most Argentine restaurants abroad make business  with grilled steaks.

julito, you really were thinking to open the restaurant in Belarus?? Ogo!! Nice idea!!! You are welcome in my country. I will make an advertisement for your restaurant “Agrentina”! :)

Friends,   Parents know their kids well. Honey, eat all the food up  and  I will order for   you that  chocolate ice cream  that you  like.  this kind of bribery  usually works with kids. 

what about the airplane method?

A spoonful of food  is the airplane, and the kid’s mouth is supposedly the runway. it’s was up to the kid to garantee a safe landing…well, that’s whack!

(:

The sun won’t shine! this is a first…I’ve heard about ” otherwise no dessert”

your parents went primeval on you…(no pun intended)

(:

 Tofu ?  

I’m not a big Thai cuisine fan to tell you the truth, I usually go for anything curry they have.but speaking of spicy I think Indian food are known for that…

I personally prefer German cuisine over any others my favorite is the  ”Hamburger”, hehehe! (:

yeah, I always feel some faint guilt whenever I see food being wasted.That’s why in some household kids are force to clean up their plates,

poor guy , Left alone over  a left over! (:

I like their chicken Satai (it’s like a kabob), of course you’d know.

would you go on a date with him the next day? (:

what if the person was your spouse and you guys were on a tight budget, Butta?

 “Snob my pants!  Hand me a damn doggie bag or I’ll start barking at you for the dog you think I am, I paid for my food right?”  I’m only kidding.

If you  think asking for a doggie bag is something to feel ashamed of, wait until you hear about what I called “the doggie cup” (:

…So my mother and I are eating at this buffet. My mother asked for an extra -large soda cup,

 (: surprised I asked “Mom, so’ you drink sodas now?” she replied “boy, I’m going to show you something”. As soon as I heard that, I started to melt in my seat. I begged her desperately not to do anything that would embarrass us. She smiled…  Too late! There’s no stopping her now. She crammed the cup with left-over meat; squeeze the lid back on, and for cherry on cake, topped it all with a straw. I was sweating with embarrassment, and could not dare to look around in fear of locking eyes with anybody. Well, apparently this place didn’t allow patrons to take out any left-over, but they’ll turn a blind eye on drinks. So we left, her “doggie cup” in her hand. (:

Anyways I just had to tell a story.

I usually go to take-out restaurants, mainly to avoid the “doggie bag” drama; but I never ask for a “doggie bag” when I opt to seat and eat. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with eating left-over, but if you could spare the time to cook daily, it’s also fine. It might have something to with my bachelor life style or being a student, but I sometimes find food to taste better when heated the next day.  I love my microwave I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. (:

Tip: If you go to a restaurant for the first time, especially a foreign one, refrain from asking for a doggie bag, this is not McDonald’s drive-thru. Please travelers avoid culture shocks and disasters, by educating yourself about their unique code of conducts, not just landmarks.

I never recall asking for a doggie bag while on a date at a restaurant—I don’t think I will ever do that.

Would you?

I also like to take leftovers home, there are a lot of food that are thrown away.

thats great coz it allows us to eat healthy food anytime we r hungry

I never ask a waiter for a doggie bag :) You go to the restaurant, you pay for the food, plus tip 20% and you enjoy it there, at the table. But if I take something with me, I think I’ll be looked down on. People might think I’m short of money or so hungry that can’t stay away from eating at least for one sec or two. I’m, like Marni, order something what I like and enjoy it. My stomach can still fit that amount that’s on my plate. But to take it home, it would be, I think, a different taste, a different atmosphere—leftover! Another thing when you cook the meal at home, there’s always a lot of left, so you just pack it in different containers and eat it until it’s eatable. Thanks God we have refrigerators and don’t have to throw it away.

Kotleysa, this is very disappointing news. I was thinking of opening a restaurant  in Belarus.  

julito, my parents in law are 80 and 71 years old. They faced the war and they know all “circles of hell” because of Second World War, but despite this, nowadays they ashamed to ask for leftovers at a restaurant. I must admit, my parents in law and majority of Belarussian people don’t visit restaurants very often. It happens once in 100 years. As a rule, people in Belarus prefer to arrange the celebratory dinner because of birthday, anniversary etc at their homes.  

I like leftover too.

Restaurants in Hungary are ready to pack your leftover and you can take it home.

I feel sorry when I have to waste food. Because of this, I usually order something I like. But eating leftovers is not a problem for me. In my place, it is a quite normal to take leftovers home, but depends on the restaurant and the food.
