The menu is almost done and includes some interesting fair for young and old. It's been a process of sourcing, pricing, market research, designing a theme, determining facilital constraints, etc.. Not an easy task for a historically "front-of-the-house" kind of person as I am.
The fun is in the kids' menu. They can order grilled peanut butter and banana or maybe"Toad in the Hole". I'm looking forward to the stocking of the shelves and testing the menu in the kitchen. It will be another whole process in and of itself.
The menu will be posted as soon as it's absolutely certain. We all can't wait!

Organizing Chaos
Sitting down with the menu last night, I was noticing how the theme of the Cafe' was developing without a great deal of effort on my part. There is always that fear that my past experiences will appear to be copied into this present situation. I have learned a lot and been forever changed by the places I have worked at in the past. In reverence, it's appropriate to reflect the impact those experiences have had on me. In respect, it's appropriate to never appear to be using someone else's ideas. This has been worrisome to say the least. The logo I loved the most had a letter f in it that reminded me of a place I'd been.
The menu has begun to speak its own language now. It is developing its own personality. I'm grateful for this "expression of local cuisine".
