Pausing at the door I wondered, "Do I dare?" When all of a sudden a voice sang out in my soul, "Do you dare not?"
Contemplating the question momentarily until with the great gust of a wind, this heavily carved wooden door blew open to reveal .... tv stand, but not just any tv stand and not any tv...
Ah, Sunday Night Supper! Who could resist. The very thought draws to mind a warm and fuzzy feeling of a time almost now distinct from our modern day society. It reminds of us a time when families gathered on the Sabbath for a restorative pause before the start of a busy work week.
In times of old, suppers were often cooked over open fires, later to be followed by electric ranges. But today, as a new year dawns, the George Foreman Grill is the cooking fire of choice, especially if healthy grilling is on the Sunday Night menu.
"C, M and B?" She asked.
"Yes! C is for Caspar, M is for Melchior and B is for Balthazar." came the response. "They are the three kings."
And so every Christmas Season, this special tradition was recreated in loving memory of a miracle that came down from Heaven over 2000 years ago- a miracle that lives on to this very day-a miracle for you and for me, for all of humanity throughout the world.

"Sounds like a plan! Can I bring something?"
"Just bring you! And a date if you wish!"
"A date? Where am I going to find a date?"
"On second thought FORGET THE DATE! I have someone I want you to meet."
"Oh NO, not the home theater seating sales rep!"
Within moments the culinary gadget was out of its shipping crate and sitting on the stainless steel prep table.
"Wow! What a beauty!"
"This is going to be a major help around here."

Now we hear all the gloom and doom if we tune into the TV news and talk shows. Almost everywhere we go folks are agonizing over the state of the economy.
Ok... so housing prices are dropping like a rock.
But what so many people don't realize is that there is always a silver lining in times of difficulty.
What a great time to buy that real estate... Wilmington NC real estate!!!

I remember how much I thought about the importance of having perfectly clear skin for prom night. Even though my skin was near perfect, sure enough a pimple popped up the day before prom.

For weeks he has been fed a generous diet of Southern comfort foods, as the recipient of a loving church's bereavement meals.
But those wonderful Southern comfort foods are usually packed with fat and calories, and are not the doctor's orders for someone who is trying to lose weight.

Over the years I've realized that it often makes more sense to rent these trucks as needed, rather than to maintain my own fleet.
Granted, the branding that occurs with movable billboards is priceless. Perhaps moving truck companies should lease sign space on their trucks!! win-win!

Anyone who has ever tried to sell something over the telephone probably has experienced the ten thousand pound telephone syndrome.
If you have a product that you love and are excited about sharing with others then the telephone is a welcome tool.
Now we wait and see. We read the headlines, try to digest the articles and separate the biases.
If we are smart, we become consumers of a more balanced media, not letting one or another pundit propagandize us with their philosophy. No we demand more of ourselves, for we are intelligent and we will not be manipulated by either a right wing or left wing media.
We use our brains, we use our own values and we use our common sense and then maybe we will see the results that we desire. And if we don't....all is not forsaken, for we live in a democracy where the potential for the truly extraordinary can and will happen for those that believe! jobs in Dallas

But in all reality, it is only natural that our seeds of desire go through a biotic process.
Anyone knows that you can't pitch a field of seeds one day and find a lush field of crops the next day.
When I first started blogging, Orlando vacations was one of the first topics I wrote about. But in my heart I wanted to do more than just write. I wanted to go and taste Orlando since it had been awhile since I had visited this fun Florida city of dreams.
I have not yet done the Orlando jaunt since writing about it... but I still trust that new opportunities will blossom in this ever amazing journey through life.
Sounds good to me, especially since I don't even need to buy something special!
"Use a blush that is one shade lighter than your usual tint, start about an inch under the middle of your eye and extend the product over the top of your cheek's apple."
I suppose they are saying it is light in what is good for you and luscious in that which is not!
The recipe is for a Peach-Kissed Cheesecake that combines peach melba and cheesecake.
So the question begs to be asked... what does a regular cheesecake cost in calories and fat grams? I suppose it's off the charts and we can't afford it ...unless of course we want to go bankrupt with our daily allotted calories for maintaining a healthy weight.

Make Your Own TV Show
By Jesse Somer
If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent many, many hours of your life watching television. From sit-coms and game shows to cartoons and reality TV, we’ve sat in front of the box for a large part of our life watching stories of one sort or another. What we mightn’t have known is that for every one show that gets on the air there were probably a hundred that didn’t make it. This might be hard to believe with shows like ‘The Joe Schmo Show” and “The Simple Life” out there but our world is a strange place with weird people, now isn’t it? However with the advent of the Internet and legal file-sharing you can now film your own TV show and put it up on the Web for everyone to see. If it’s any good, word will get around. That’s how the Internet works: Word of mouth.
You no longer have to make a pilot show and sit in front of a large group of executives praying that they will like your material. Television is heading for your computer, literally. You can already download some of your favorite corporation-backed shows on the Internet legally, for a small price. It is a commonly held belief that in the not-to-distant-future computers and televisions will become one, a flat digital screen replacing your monitor. Eventually all TV channels and individual shows will have websites where you can download and stream their programs. The interesting new phenomenon is that you can join in the fun too. There’s a low barrier to entering the Internet TV game. We have now been given the freedom to produce, and to share our stories with the rest of the box-watching world.
Check out http://www.welcometothescene.com/index.shtml and http://www.purepwnage.com/. These two sites are a couple of the multitudinous masses that are now being put up on the Web for people to watch and share. It can almost be thought of as an artist’s exhibition, where you and your TV-maniac friends finally get to show your shows to the rest of us. I get the feeling that the whole idea is based around the concept of freedom. We get the freedom to create, a medium where we can choose to show our creations, and the freedom to download a show and share it with our friends. Word-of-mouth spreads and all of a sudden your show’s got a huge underground cult following. What happens next in the story? You tell me.
As always people are going to try and make a dollar out of something cool and new on the human scene. If you look at the show on http://marcushateshisjob.com/ you will see a pretty funny TV program. It is sponsored by Sprite, a division of the Coca-Cola Company. There’s nothing really wrong with this (artists have to get their funding from somewhere) except that it could possibly result in nearly the same paradigm as the old TV company-controlled structure, if Sprite achieves power to dictate what content goes into the show. There’s a name that has been coined for this sort of behavior and in this case the product-placement, commercially-based Internet program fits into this category perfectly: Astroturf. The former shows are grass-roots programs, a sign of the individual freedom that can be obtained on the Internet. Astroturf makes itself out to look like grass-roots philosophy, yet like football, it is definitely a more painful place to get tackled.
The whole concept of file-sharing has a huge amount of nebulous clouds surrounding it, but in this case things are simple. You want people to watch your show. You haven’t downloaded someone else’s copyright material. You’re sharing your own creation. Get to it people, and get it to the people. I want to see what you can do. One can only take so many reruns of “Gilligan’s Island” and “Different Strokes”. ‘What you talkin’ bout Willis?’ is what they’ll be saying after watching your inspirational new television masterpiece. Hey, you might even start a whole new era. Remember, one day, a long time ago (and thank the Universe for it), no one even knew what a sit-com was!

When I went to the website I couldn't figure out exactly what they were selling. Are they selling technology that will simply allow me to download my own videos into a tv format? Or are they simply selling a way to watch tv over the Internet? Or are they selling some cutting edge concept that will forever change the network playing field?

"Why won't it work?"
"Because it is a decision based on the wrong motives. If you truly want to achieve your goal- you have to be true to who you are. You can not take on a facade that is not authentic. Face your giants. This is 2008! Quit acting like we are still in the 1950's."

To begin with, give yourself permission to think outside the box.
If you feel like going over the top... go ahead and do it! Your guests will love it!
The freedom and openess of an outdoor environment lends itself to many magical interpretations, especially for evening events.
Think candlelight, moonlight, fanciful tents and elaborate settings. Maybe secret living rooms and dining rooms. Bring in furniture, oriental rugs, a baby grand piano, a dance floor, a dazzling collection of fascinating guests and the exquisite taste sensations of Canopy Rose Catering!

I am also a major supporter of locally-owned businesses developing their web presence.
For the first time in the history of world commerce, a level playing field was created where small mom and pops could compete with the giant conglomerates!
Who would have ever thought that someone could create a billion dollar enterprise out of their 2 car garage or their Manhattan co-op?
Kudos to the world wide web that forever changed the world as we once knew it! Kudos to those who are not afraid to embrace this technology with extraordinary possibilities.
It is hard to believe that there are still people around today who consider the world wide web as a gigantic social threat. When will they realize that the web is one of the greatest gifts of our modern era?

Now that my home base is behind the shop in a town of 2000 residents , I have discovered another reason to hit the web when I need something that is not locally available.

But it is essential that gloves are changed frequently and that an operation keep cases on hand to protect the safety of the guests.
For catering gigs I like to supply each of the staff members with their own supply of a dozen or so gloves for the event. If they exhaust their supply, there is always more on site available at a central location.
For those who are self-catering their own parties... don't overlook the importance of some sort of plastic deli or latex exam gloves.

funny t-shirts!
I've never been a big fan of t-shirts for myself. Probably because I never liked the workmanship of t-shirts. They seemed cheap. Completely non-designer apparel!
But who doesn't read those shirts...like billboards we pass while driving down the boulevard, they have an uncanny way of capturing our attention.
This fascination was so great, that I actually wanted to major in this field of study in college. But it was my college advisor who said, "Kathi, the science will kill you."
I heeded her advice and veered off in a different direction only to find myself continually pulled back to that first love. Thirty years later I still am fascinated by the power of natural edible substances for healing, vitality and longevity. Curcumin

I want everyone who enters to feel welcome and appreciated. stair lift
I recognize this is a pretty bold statement.
During these last years when I had the opportunity to reflect on the lessons of a lifetime, I was finally able to put my knowledge, skills and understanding of life into the proper perspective- into a workable perspective that took the work of a lifetime to a whole new level.
Anyone who knows me, also knows that I am not one to be satisfied with the status quo for any length of time. I am one who is restless to raise the bar and to break through previous barriers in this great adventure we call life.
Expect the unexpected! The future is ours to seize and that is precisely what I intend to do!

I'm talking about the sorts of opportunities that don't come along every day. The opportunity to cater at the Masters for Nike golf clubs, teach Florida Cuisine cooking classes to legislative wives or lead a group of foodies to Tuscany and Umbria. It is these extraordinary opportunities that add the delightful flavoring to my work.
While I'm busy coordinating teachers, workshop leaders and class ideas I'm also busy gearing up for re entering the catering field, after having taken a sabbatical of sorts for a few years. as I do this I'm evaluating auto accessories that might be helpful in transporting catered foods from the commissary to the event.

On Thursday, we received our DBPR licensing for our new location in Havana, Florida. I hope to be ready within the next couple weeks to swing open our doors for cooking classes, special food events and of course, catering. But in the meantime there is a bit of organizing and fine tuning still to be done. While I have most everything that I need after having been a caterer and special event designer for many years in Tallahassee, there are still a few new items that I would like to add. For these I will visit directbuy.
