We hope you think they taste as good as they look. Come to that, we hope you think they look good too....

Now Hiring

After a very stressful day of inspections and running around, I'm on the couch reviewing applications for employment (and multitasking my relaxation).

Gchat between myself and Renee explains:
(preface-we are talking about the applications I'm reading)
Renee: are there any strong contenders?

me: yes, some very good ones. I'm really looking at students who live downtown (emerson and the like) who can work the night shifts bc they have to live close if we close at 2am, ya know? like no one wants to take a cab home from work.. so they have to be very close

Renee: yea totally. I'm listening to katy perry firework. you were singing it earlier

me: hahaha i was also singing teenage dream

you and i will be young FOREVER

YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE IM LIVING A

TEENAGE DREAM

LETS RUN AWAY AND DONT EVER LOOK BACK

my heart stops when you look at me

this is realllllll

(im singing to you, by the way)

Renee: hahaha

me: if only our job applicants knew what i doing what as i was reviewing their emails- singing at the top of my lungs katy perry and gchatting you the lyrics

Renee: hahaha! they would want to work for you even more!

me: now im listening to firework

Happy Valentine's Day

To those who kept waiting with us to open, this is my Valentine's Day Love Letter to you. Thank you for believing that we would get our sh*t together and open our blue doors to you. We more than like you.

Here's lookin' at you, Boston. <3
Saus

It's only noon right now?

6am: Out of bed

7am: Out the door to meet Renee

7:30: Chin picks us up (Renee and I are car-less). We prep for our meetings while navigating the treacherous, yet well salted, roads.

8am: Arrive at the ISD (Snag pretty sweet parking spot that is essentially on top of a pile of snow. Worry if the car will be able to get out of the spot. Decide to risk it.)
Stalk our building inspector. Make sure necessary papers have been filed.

8:30: Fire department at the ISD. It's still Closed.
Food while we wait until it opens (obviously. It's us. We eat.)

9am: Fire Department. Learn we need to get a new fire sprinkler report from our building manager before they come in to do our inspections. Call building manager for new reports.

10am: Stalk an inspector at the Health Department and shanghai him into a meeting. Ask questions- what will you be looking for in a health inspection? How can we ensure it runs smoothly? We fail to remember correct hot-holding temps. We're pretty sure that didn't impress him. We leave feeling confident, nevertheless.

11am: After a few tries, successfully manage to get the car out of it's "parking spot."

Recap: I had breakfast at 6am and lunch at 8:30. Pretty sure I should just call it a day... But, there's more to do. We really want this to be our month! If I have to wake up at 6 am everyday, then so be it. And mind you, the Saus team is not an early bird kind of team...

In fact, I could re-break down the day by the injuries we sustained just trying to function at such an early hour. Like when we got the to ISD, Renee walked straight into the door frame.
