Gourmet dinner on our fancy plyboard countertops.  Jason is an amazing food prep-er.  He always talks about opening a restaurtant, "Rag Pickers" I think he said he'd call it- and it'd be like a hobo type themed restaurant with simple but good meals.  He'd have the cd cover of Mark Knopfler's CD as the central theme picture and the people working there would get to wear bandanas and the silverware would be wrapped up in bandanas and he'd be the cook/food prep leader.

I think it'd be fun, but I heard that if you take a hobby that you like and turn it into a business that it has the potential to become not as like-able.  The intrinsic motivation of doing what you like because you like it becomes the extrinsic motivation of doing what you like because you have to-to earn money/keep the reputation/ etc.  Maybe it could be like one of those restaurants though where the food doesn't cost anything and it's just run on money that people "pay" what they can or think it's worth.  That'd be cool too.  Until then.....I'll just continue to be amazed at how beautiful a fish stick can be when it's sliced and placed in a wrap.
