When it Rains it Pours…or, the One o’clock hour was Awesome!

So,  1pm seems to be a good hour today. The Executive Chef from Taste , Paul Ozimek called at 1pm today to schedule me to work. If you didn’t know, I am ‘unemployed’ wanting to be ‘self-employed’.  But money is awesome, and I am building a mutually rewarding relationship with Paul and the owner. So hi- ho hi- ho its off to work I go.  Thursday is the day.  The big news of the 1pm hours is that I got a call from a friend,  though nothing is set in stone, I hopefully will be doing some contract baking for the restaurant that they work in.  Hopefully I’ll get to tell you all about it next week sometime.  I have bake a ton of things and write a proposal and hope for the best.

Drum Roll Please….

I am OFFICIALLY a business in NY State!  Andi’s Apple Cake LLC was born yesterday at around 3pm.  So up next is lots of paperwork. LOTS! This is the downside to the business ownership. I need and Employer Identification Number, a Tax Number, I have to do my taxes every 3 months (sucks!)  I have to keep books and records and get insurance. and crap the NH is home and I haven’t even thought about dinner.  Well I’m signing off for now. The domestic Goddess must get to work. Dinner here I come!

When your not sure what to do, God kicks your ass down the right path.

Thanks goes out to the big guy.  I know he has led me down this path and hopefully I chose wisely.  No poor Indiana Jones references here. I had a meeting this week with what should be a great place to bake out of. I don’t want to mention names till I know for sure. It involves production for them as I do production for myself.  This could work. Besides, it’s a real kitchen.

Business is picking up!  Word is spreading and orders are coming in. It’s AWESOME!!!  I can’t thank everyone enough for all the support that I’ve gotten.  I keep thinking of things I want to make to add to the Menu. The half moons are delish and the brownies! OH the brownies!  I love that everyone is ordering them and it always seems that there is one left after I do the order.  It’s dessert for DH and I. I’m only sort of complaining.   I think tomorrow is going to be Cinnamon Raisin Swirl bread.  Perfect for breakfast toasted with a little butter.  I’ll work the recipie, and let you all know when it makes it to the menu.

It’s getting late, and it’s rained again. We got a quick thunder shower this evening. So there is nothing in the garden yet. I have some lovely plants that need to go in. Yet they sit in they’re dirt waiting ever so patiently.  Well Top Gear is on, so off to watch crazy brits driving across the English channel.

Decisions, Decisions.

Why is it when you think you have found your way, there is a giant fork in the road and no map to be found.  I thought I had found the kitchen to bake in. Then God laughed and bellowed from the Heavens,  “Are you sure?? ”  So then another opportunity calls, and then another.

REALLY?????

I guess, I shouldn’t complain.  But this is a hard decision to make. Once I make the decision I have to stick with it for at least a year, as that is where my permit will be located, so that is where I will have to stay.  What if I make the wrong decision? What if I choose poorly, Will it be like at the end of the Raiders of the Lost Ark when the Nazi’s choose the wrong cup. He choose the fancy one, because the Son of God must have a chalice of jewels and gold. But really as we all know, the big JC was a carpenter and simple man of simple means. Choose the wooden one! Stupid Nazi.  Well your face melted and you got what you deserved.   OMG will my face melt if I choose poorly?

I'm Melting--I'M MELTING!!!

So, at this point I am clueless.  Two choices, a fork in the road and no frigging map…
