Bobby and I had a job in DC this week and I am running a day behind.
We did a cooking demo at a US Foods trade show. US Foods has been our food distributor since our first week of legal business. As y’all know we ran a pirate operation out of the house for the first year. Pat Watkins walked into the front door of The Lady restaurant and offered us the first weeks groceries on credit....good thing since we didn’t have two nickels to rub together, and the rest is history.
Pat took a chance on us and we have stayed loyal to him...it has worked out well for both of us. He really knows our business and has seen us grow and he has grown with our company. It’s nice to have a salesman that I don’t have to stay on top of about a fair price and our food bill is about a million times more than it was back in 1990.
We had about 800 folks turn out Monday night and the show ran an hour and a half. The two of us got to talkin’ and after an hour I had only managed to saute some onions so it wasn’t really the most structured cooking demo but everyone had a great time.
Micheal Peay, our good friend and loyal assistant, was tinkering around getting the stage set up before the show and managed to slice the palm of his hand wide open. About the most dangerous item he should handle is an envelope anyway so he spent a few hours in the DC emergency room.
8 stitches....in the palm.
and how was your Monday?
thanks y’all and Alice if its kills me I am going to hunt down the recipe from Miss Tee-Eva’s
do good things
