The Business of a Preschooler

About a year ago, during a dinner of Artichokes and pasta, Annika announced that we were eating at "Chanos Grand Opening," her new restaurant. She's stuck with Chanos, and tells us that she owns another restaurant, Kingys, in the neighboring town of Warrenton. From what I gather, the Astoria location is more bistro, while Warrenton's is more diner.

On Josh's iphone, she discovered a restaurant app. It, of course, is Chanos online. She earns virtual money and makes wise business purchases. She regularly check on her game, making sure customers are happy, and buys necessities for a growing business. Recently, she spent about one hundred thousand dollars on a decorative lion, because "People like dragon dancers, but if you can't have a dragon, then a lion is OK."


Occasionally, Annika comes up with her own recipes, and we make them. The latest? A hotdog pancake surprise. The hotdogs are actually Linketts, a vegetarian soy product. She loves them. Anyway, we were having pancakes and berries for dinner, and what could be better than that? I'll tell you; it's a hotdog inside your pancake. What does one eat on top of this creations? Well, peanut butter and honey, of course.
