Another day in the life...
Very busy day yesterday. We are planning on being ready for business tonight, so I spent the day directing the 20+ new employees on what to clean, how to make what, where to put things, plus being pulled in a million different directions by vendors and the owner of the store :S When we first open, we like to do a few hours of 'practice' by handing out coupons for free product to local businesses and employees friends and families. The first evening is when we honor those, which allows for everyone to get a chance to make some pizzas and get an idea of how it all works before we open for 'real'. Well.... we've handed out 500 of those coupons in the last couple of days!!! It could be a VERY busy 4 hours tonight :0
After work last night, the owners invited me to dinner with them. They had made reservations at a place called Jacksons Grill. By the name, you would never guess that it's a VERY upscale place. There were all sorts of very nice offerings.. I got a spinach salad with grapes, apples, beets, candied pecans and more in it.. The guys got the swordfish. Although my salad was really good, I don't think my stomach likes pecans (my taste buds do!). I got back to the hotel and had the worst gas (shhhh). Yuck!! My stomach was so large I could have been mistaken for being pregnant!! I also had creme brulee for dessert.... YUMMMM!!! Something I had never had before, so I ate it all!
Okay, gotta get my butt ready for work-- busy busy day ahead!! Have a GREAT day FS buddies!!

Mmmmmm... creme brulee... my fave! *wipes drool from corner of mouth* How unfortunate about the side effects of your dinner, though! Coulda been the pecans or just the combination/quantities of everything together. Heaven forbid it's the creme brulee (since it's the one thing you said you'd never had before)! I would endure painful gas and probably worse for it, though : ) It's sooooo good! I hope everything goes smoothly at the store tonight!

Evelyn... I do think it was the pecans... I LOVE nuts, but it seems as though whenever I eat them, especially kinds with a higher oil content, I have stomach issues. I also have issues with bread, which I believe is due to a yeast intolerance. I guess that's what age does to ya, huh?
