Again, this week I am keeping the specials simple so we can stay focused and not go CRAZY! That means that no new dishes this week. But, of course, we think we have a pretty good menu to start with. So I don't think you will suffer.
Last week was a real test of our readiness and with few exceptions, I think the whole team did fairly well. One unexpected event kind of threw our planning to the wind, but we caught up quickly and we were proud of our performances. Whew!This week we have three more caters— two inhouse and one in Thayer. We are pretty organised for it so I am not sweating it.
In the meantime I hope you notice the floral arrangements. Paula has added her skills to this aspect of our business. We are delighted to be able to offer this service for our catering customers. Paula's 25+ years of floral experience are a true asset.
Tuesday is Rick's birthday. Please be sure to wish him a merry one! I haven't introduced you to him yet. Rick came to us originally as a part of the musical duo Chief Wahoo and the Electric Tonic. He surprised us by offering to work when we needed extra manpower. Turns out he is a skilled and talented cook. I have relied heavily on him for serious prep work, weekly specials input and lately, desserts, as well. He is my teammate on Friday nights at the stove. I am continually impressed by his can-do attitude and williness to dive into any adventure. He is a natural leader and great communicator. I have never seen him have a sour day, even when he is in pain. He is a delight to work with and a gem in our crown. Happy Birthday, Rick!!!
