SNOW

Wow it just keeps coming

Wow this winter reminds me of my childhood

How many times have you said to yourself, and others "when I was  a kid there was always snow on the ground and it would just pile up 6 ft high"  So far we have been hit here in Boston with 2 amazing snow storms in December alone, Yesturday it was predicted 2-4" but a chance of it turning to rain in the city and it turned out to snow all day with i swear 8" fell at the restyaurant.

Well the holidays are truly upon us with Christmas peaking around the corner, the restaurant is busy with little office parties and families reuniting for comfort food, my favorite part of this time of year is Gift Certificates, To me they are like a pat on the back, when droves of patrons come by to buy them as gifts it makes the staff feel really good that so many people feel that Our gift certificates would make a great gift, we have been selling over $500.00 a day since last weekend.  The Gift of Food Frolic & Fun as our gift certificates say also gives us an indication that January and Febuary will be busy.

I am looking forward to 4 days Off in a row, as we always close down for the Holidays, Geoffrey and I used to spend the Holidays with his Family out on Cape Cod and we didnt feel right spending time with family and friends while we have 2 restaurants with employees still at work so the break has varied from 4 to 7 days off every year.

I am looking forward to spending time with my dogs and catching up on paperwork and a new winter menu during the break.
