What a nice evening we had last night. Some of our favorite customers came in last night with their friends. They brought a bottle of wine, we did some tasting from the kitchen and just had a good time. This is the best part of this business. I used to sit in an office and see maybe 9 different people all day, every day. What a nice change to be meeting new friends and neighbors.
They all liked the idea of a Thanksgiving special where we set up all the stations to do side dishes for the holiday. They all even signd up for it already. Better get started on those recipies.

We were talking in the kitchen the other day about salt. We noticed that our customers are staying away from the salt while preparing their meals. There is too much salt in the diet of the average American, I know that. But it probably does not come from the little bit of table salt that we put in our cooking. We will be watching amounts now to make sure that there is not an unhealthy amount of salt in our recipies. Also be careful of the salt in preserved foods, it is there that we go overboard. Remember that salt is a great preservative and is used in large amounts by the packaging industry. Our overall salt intake would probably be a lot less if we ate homemade meals with salt but stayed away from prepackaged foods.
