sunday night cupcake

Sara, who I am crashing with turned 24 last Thursday. I made her cupcakes (which I am enjoying a delicious one now) and I must say I make a mean cupcake, it could be a great thing for my coffee shop endeavours.

This weekend was the Food and Wine Festival in Charleston, Bobby Flay was there, I saw Richard Blaze from afar...I worked our booth Saturday afternoon, helping prepare our Roman Flatbread app. I was pretty much bent over, putting proscuitto and shaved parm on little flatbreads for about three hours straight, but it was fun. Friday night was one of the quarterly art walks, so free wine, free food, and art galleries open late is always a good time.

One of the owners of Mellow was in this weekend, he wanted to talk to me about my future with Mellow (just a job, or a possible career) but attempted to have the talk at about 2:30a.m, well 3:30 with the clock change. To my surprise I will be headed to Atlanta in a week for about 2-3 weeks to participate in the Mellow Mushroom franchise training program. I'm nervous I am getting in too deep, but I'm excited to get put up in a hotel for a few weeks and be able to explore Atlanta. And it never hurts to be trained on business administration, but I do have a feeling the classes are going to be booooooring! But there is also a week in the kitchen which should be fun. I do think it would be a fun life skill to know how to throw a pie. I move into the apt in 2 days...I am excited for that. We will see where the next couple of weeks takes me.

b) this is AWESOME news. who cares if you dont end up franchising in your lifetime, just having that experience will take you places (like your own coffee shop!)
