SNOW

Wow it just keeps coming

When I'm STRESSED, i bake

I woke up today and Autumn slapped me in the face, I had to admit to myself that Outdoor dining is  pretty much done, the days of surplus cash from glorious weather and the sweet balance in the checking account now has dried up.  This is the time of year that pretty much everyone in "the biz" dreads, the time between summer and the holidays. We were spoiled all summer long with fantastic weather and the extra business that it brought with it, but now its time to get accustomed to losing 30 very inportant seats.

I bring up the issue of the Autumn weather because in not only affects business, it also effects the general population, employees, patrons, grey days dont make for positive personalities. As a leader one finds themself burdened with the responsibilty  of being the sunshine for your satff and customers,   We all look up to the people in our life that radiate the positive energy in times when its hard to come by, As an employer I must difuse my employee's bad days, and uplift customers that have had equally bad days without letting anyone know if I am having a bad day.

When I am stressed I bake, thats how i take out my anger, sadness, agnst, bitterness you name it, if I am down I bake, the more I am down the more elaborate my creations, funny thing is that when I bake (99% of the time something sweet) it puts smiles on faces of all . so then I feed of the positive energy that i in a way gave to them in the form of a Donutmuffin, Cupcake ot Flourless Moussecake.

I am very tight lipped when it comes to the secrets behind many of my creations, for good reason,  its keeps everyone coming back, the donutmuffin for instance sheer decadence, its a Sour Cream CoffeeCake Muffin that when it comes out of oven is given a bath in a big bowl of melted butter, then tossed around in a bowl of Cinnamon & Sugar till it just cant take it anymore, we serve it grilled with , you guessed it a side of butter

Happy Eating
