there is so much to discuss i seriously don't know where to start. 
* mom's night off! menu for this thursday night (it's so FRICKIN' good you won't be able to decide)
* thanksgiving. (YES!?! we are offering thanksgiving goodies like soups, sides, appetizers & breads oh, & the sickest desserts you've ever tasted)
* "catchy." our new cafe opening in LITERALLY 22 days (that's three weeks from TUESDAY people!!). 

shut the front door. SHUT IT.

 so all i have been doing is obsessing about food the past two weeks. takeaway a week of mom's night off! and i become like a caged animal. i need to feed people. and i need to feed them soon. we have been working around the clock (and i mean AROUND the clock - who knew how dark the backyard of my rental is at 4am when i am staring at it and pacing my living room?). we've got our cafe menus going to print this week, thanksgiving menus for all you wise folk not wanting to put themselves through the trouble of whipping your own potatoes or baking your own pumpkin breads and in the rest of our free time we've been dreaming up new appetizers for your holiday parties (can you say port wine figs & goat cheese in phyllo?). i literally can not WAIT until those doors swing open on "catchy." and we can serve you up the freshest baja chicken salad EVER. 

but in the meantime, enjoy these 22 days. use them wisely. workout. save your money. ignore your friends. because once december 1st rolls around, you & your girlfriends are gonna have FULL access to our freshest, crispest salads, our crunchiest buffalo chicken fingers dripping with honey bbq buffalo sauce and sandwiches the likes of which you won't be able to turn away (um, what? tarragon chicken salad with crunchy red grapes & toasted walnuts? yup, we did). 

so save those calories. you're gonna need them. because when you pop into "catchy." and grab a few salads & quarts of soup from our takeout case for the night (ANY & EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK) and maybe a few bags of pretzel bark & a loaf of pumpkin bread for good measure, know that you deserve all those special treats, after all, it's the holiday season. 
 order up for thursday. last mom's night off! was record breaking and i'm not down with disappointment.
