you're so cool.. lol.
mm, you're into fusion.. nice.
you could blend some southern fusion with some perhaps.. hm.. caribbean fusion.
something like hm.. deconstructed black beans/w white rice on the bottom in a cylinder.. pack the rice/beans in a tower and then pack with whatever.
then you could make tower type presentations.
from a fellow chef to another.. here are some of my favourite sites.
these are nice gable boxes (their prieces aren't so nice).. but the boxes are cute.

i will help you as much as i can
I love the Gable boxes, I think they would fit in great for children's parties. Kids love boxes. Also they make great gift boxes for pastry and baking. Just a couple of ideals I have off the top of my head. I have to meet with a potential client this morning, I am not to sure about this person though. She constantly ask "HOW MUCH IS THIS"? and "HOW MUCH IS THAT"? I am a true believer, when you hire a caterer, you want your event prepared professionally. You know how the saying goes....don't order filet mignon with hamburger money.(lol).

<quoted text>Just emailed you on the site; I think its time for that "break" from topix (LMAO). But there is also alot of ex-black panthers on that site; they tell me things that the teachers wouldnt let us know!!! LOL!!!
<quoted text>Email me on their, my screenname is Moe17 on that site...
<quoted text>
Mitch, mitch, mitch...
Do you really want to join that site or do you like causing a stir in these debates. I dont mean to be nosey, but I noticed that you only reply to "particular" threads regarding women or about bashing a woman's looks.
This site is more than just bashing, venting or starting drama, they deal with the BLACK community & also what is going on in the world---they do have some positive threads to which are all in fun. Dont worry about being in there looking for only negative threads...they know how to have fun too :)
My sisters on the black site ALL have posted their pics & yes, you have be mature when you are on that site.
You cant be in there thinking you are going to down size them, try it & they will leave you crying off that site.
My sisters on that site are no joke,'THEY DO NOT PLAY'...so you better be ready to show ALOT of respect. They do not try to talk down to you,they treat the men on there with alot of respect (more than topix does). And so does the men with the women...
Most of the people are married on the site or in a good relationship...from what I know they found love in the black race.:)
About the strong-minded sisters, I would drop names but I want it to be a surprise to you if you think you are going to go on the site & bash.
Now I am going to give you a warning:
THIS BLACK SITE DOES NOT PUT UP WITH SH!!!t! Please believe; you are going to be dealing with ex-panthers (well I just say that 'cause they are old :), pro-blacks, militants,etc...
You are going to deal with men who would not dare date outside their race. Now there is a place where only the brothas can chat amongst themselves & vice-versa. It is pretty much a black paradise if you ask me...just like having another family.
So if you are SERIOUS about this site you need to let me know...If you are still on this immature bash mess & that is what makes a site fun for you, I dont recommend you join. The man who runs things on that site will have you banished for good.
If you want the website I have to give it you through email or something...& trust that you dont give it out.
...Hmmmm, maybe NOW I can meet the real Money Makin Mitch...
I want to join Moe. Hook me up shawty. Im not going to come on there with no bullchit. You got my word.

I am so pissed off to about the sean bell case. But anyway to me it looks like you are kissing BCM butt. I did not even say your name but right away you new that I was talking about you. But I am really not trying to get into it with someone that is my color because unlike you I still have love for my darkskin people so I will let you do you. If kissing a mutt person butt makes you feel better about your color then more power to you. I will make no more comments to you!
she's not kissing ass.. she's being CIVIL!

something you obviously know NOTHING about.

you're one pathetic slag if i've ever seen one.

please grow up and sterilize yourself. we have enough hatred leveled at us.

why do you feel the need to be a black kkk?

Dont be upset with me because I will not kiss your a88 like other darkskin black people. You were talking to much junk about my people for us to be cool you mutt sl8t. With your baby by a white man and you also have a white mother who in the hek would even consider you a sista but some low self-esteem black person!
talking sh*t how?

lol the first word you said to me was 'biatch' that let me know what sort of mentality i was dealing with.

lol you equate civility with @ss kissing.

lourdes realized that our argument was petty.

she apologized and so did i.

how is she kissing my ass?

she's not.

it's called civility.

what you are is called 'pathetic'

blah blah blah.. get a grip biatch blah blah blah

Your mom is right!!!!

I love cooking with a passion, but wait until you start school my dear. You will find out it's not all about preparing meals. The first two weeks will be safety and sanitation, third week will most likely be learning how to properly hold utensil and identifying every item in the kitchen. Fourth week identifying different aroma's of spices,(spices can last forever). As my professor would tell me, You have to earn the right to master the kitchen before you can
prepare a meal successfully.

When you open your restaurant (which I know you will) your motto should always be:

Not to meet your customers expectations

BUT TO EXCEED THEIR EXPECTATIONS.

i'm lucky that i got into a program that assists us with the business aspect of things.

and they help us with the food handling licenses and they will even take our recipes and help us turn them into weight instead of teaspon/cup etc.

this is only a commercial kitchen, i don't think they assist us with food courses, but i hate to be smug, but i really don't need it. i could use some courses on better 'knife' efficiency. but other than that i'm cool. lol

the business aspect will be very helpful though.

I understand fully, on the business aspect I studied and have a degree in Hospitality. What falls under the umbrella is Business Management for Entrepenuers, Purchasing, Food & Beverage, customer service, accounting and marketing.

At the present time, I market my business on my own. I love the competiton, and I admire my own unique style. My husband and I brainstorm new ideas for our business on a daily basis. My husband is the quiet type, and at first he used to make me feel like he was not being supportive. Presently, I have to shut him up sometimes, every time he comes up with a clever ideal, he will call me right away. My plan is to continue catering for the next two years, afterwards, I plan to open a restaurant. My biggest problem will be the location. I really have alot of research to do. If I open in Harlem, I am not worried about competition, its the high priced overhead and rent.(NYC goes by sq ft.) The Bronx and Westchester, NY does not black american ethnic cuisine. The rent is manageable though. That is the only problem I am having.

In addition, I have heard of horror stories in NYC, such as protection costs (if you know what I mean).

I haven't been here for 2 weeks, but i can tell my FAVOURIT poster is still very 'popular'.
Perhaps a little too popular....

Darn, lady, what did you do? to deserve this.

Quit reacting to this shizzle, then these threads will 'die' in vain.

Hope u and your 2 guys kickass in life.
Much love...to all great people on Topix who are carrying their heart how it should be.

wow.. protection costs.. are you serious? lol that's some sopranos sh*t right there.

(not to make light of the situation, i just didn't know that really existed. i'm so naive at times)

our rent here also goes by the sq ft so i know how that is.

i think starting a restaurant featuring a type of cuisine that may not be familiar to an area would be an advantage. it could also backfire, but i doubt it. maybe there is not something in those two areas because people thought no one would like it.

if you go there perhaps you can become the benchmark for that area.

that's good you have your husband supporting you. that 'home base' is necessary to bounce ideas off of. i know the people around me are tired of me showing them logos or testing recipes or looking at boxes lol.. they have to be, hell i'd be tired of me too, but they're always supportive.

even my mom is supportive and she hates everything i do. in fact, she's just hateful all around lol. she is the type of person who right before a trip will say something like, "i hope you don't get mugged and i get a call at 2am to come and identify your body found in an alley."

gee thanks, bon voyage to you too mama, but even she has nice things to say lol.

i am going to start at farmer's markets and select grocery stores in my area. i don't want my product to be mass produced so i want to keep things on an artisnal scale.

eventually i want my own patisserie/bistro somewhere near me where i live now (or wherever i end up in a few years.. lol who knows where life takes us sometimes)..

you'll do well, you have a good support system and a very mature head on your shoulders. i know you'll do good.

oh, and yea, those gable boxes ARE cute. i was thinking of using them for preboxed gourmet 'lunches' to go or maybe packaging some of the pastries in them. i don't know what i'll use those boxes for yet, but i like them lol

Ich bin froh sie sind da!! Nein, kein urlaub nach Paris...I wish haha.
Uhm...1. my girl was very jealous, she turned into a little green trippedout monster lol But thats solved. She's always like that, even tonight...i made her sway and sweat on the dancefloor with my full attention, but when i talk to another girl she gives me that 'watch it or i'll kill you' face. Aaaah that must be L.O.V.E.

Die hassliche leute haben kein leben, sind frustriert und they envy you. Reply and ignore them, but, hey, you'll survive.

And there's where the 2nd point of my Topix-absence comes in...that damn envy and oldfashion hate...it brings me down a little bit.
But can't act foolish and i have to say i also met some very nice ones. But we need to party somewhere else.
Hmmm feels good i picked it up again whoohahaha
