4. externship update: urban's customers are the best.

yesterday morning, we decided to take donations for the victims of the tornadoes in alabama.  before i even knew we were accepting them, our customers were bringing in donations by the bag full.  {& i started working at 6 am!}  there were bags & bags & bags of clothes, blankets, & other non-perishables by lunch.  we seriously have the greatest customers.  thank you all so very much.

in other {& now so much less important news}, we got a new mixer!!!  it is huge.  & i am so excited about it.  i actually shrieked with joy when i first saw it.  we also are going to have a new work table & rack for baking.  it is going to be fabulous.  think of how much buttercream i will be able to make at a time.  an entire week's worth :)

did i mention the purchasing of these great items means we are going to start making our own bread?  yes, i, kendall porter, might have to dabble in bread making.  i, who am terrified of bread & said i would not make bread for a living, might make bread.  oh, the irony.  i need a culinard extern!  or maybe just a little patience.  probably the extern.

next week, i am going to start making some changes in our plated dinner desserts menu.  warm chocolate sheet cake with pecan fudge icing :  i think so.

have a wonderful weekend, friends!  blakey & i will be celebrating our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!  can you believe it?  we certainly cannot.  one year.  one absolutely fabulous, beyond anything i could've ever hoped & dreamed year.

love love,
kjp.
