Our breakfast for the workshops is from 7:45 to 8:30 AM, class begins at 9:00 AM and for inn guests from 8:30 to 9:30 AM. Coffee service is usually at 7:00 AM.

Well, today Kim went to the New York State Faire. (Not sure about the extra “e”.) Well, as usual, even though people groan when they here 7:45, people started showing up at 7:30. Normally, what we do is start serving. Why not? By then, Kim and I have prepped, had our coffee sit down, and are generally ready to go. Today was a different story.

Since Kim left, we had our sit down but I had to do all, not just most, not some, but all of the prep, and I had to handle check outs and ins and stuff. So, John, as usual, started taking orders early, even though I asked him not to. Well, because he started taking orders, people had to wait. That is, if he doesn’t take the order, people aren’t expecting food.

So, I took his note pad that he jots down orders on. We started taking orders at 7:45 today, right on time. Sometimes, drastic measures are needed. 😉
