Caffeine, Catering, and proCrastination?

Well, well, well...look who's back. I used to write in the morning, and since the garden is now taking up a lot of that time, I've completely forgotten to write at all.  I pledge to suck a little bit less for the rest of the summer.

We also got caught up in wedding plans (which so far is a lot of talking, thinking, adjusting guest list, talking some more, researching, adjusting guest list, budgeting, adjusting guest list...) which bumped the business planning to the back burner for a minute. Were back on track now due to our first catering gig, thanks to a lovely friend who really believes in us and our idea. If all goes well the lettuce were growing in the garden will be the star of a beautiful salad! Ill be sad to see it go, but proud of its accomplishments and wish it the best.

Have you ever tried to cut down your caffeine? I'm a coffee fiend. I'm talking 2 in the morning, 1 on the way to work, 1 whenIi get to work, 1 after I eat dinner, and several more over the course of the night. I have great friends who often bring me coffee. Its safe to say I drink too much of the stuff, so I decided to stop it and switch to decaf, as I refuse to give up the glorious nectar. I thought it would be harder but have yet to find a corner in which to turn into a rocking, eye scratching, mumbling mess. Just putting it out there, I feel a whole bunch less stressed and jittery. Less snappy, and believe it or not; less tired. Yes kids, caffeine makes you MORE tired.  Look it up. Now if someone can only help me with.......

STEAK. I have been on a steak streak. Which is bad, because without getting all political and Betty Buzzkill about it, red meats sucks for the planet. I feel guilty about eating it for several obvious reasons, and yet constantly crave it and CAN NOT STOP.

Ugh.............................every single time I wish the steak had the black magic power to hex me so I develop a horrible aversion involving disgusting boils or something.

I have to run and work on a menu now, but it just occurred to me that the same week we have to go and critique someone else's food for the wedding, we land our first gig. I wonder what the universe is trying to tell us?
