I love you for this! A.) you get the point of this post B.) you’re made of the purest of all wesome sauces C.) I wish you were my neighbor because seriously? We’d take over the friggin’ world together! Thank you! <3
Honey, we ARE taking over the friggin’ world together. You know that, don’t you? (snuggles you, you saucy wench)
You Have Made My Day! Thank you for existing! <3
What kind of small business do you own? I’m looking for a small website to be an alpha client for a small site recommendation engine.
I’m also very grateful for the fa community, I have finally started to stop hating myself. It’s about damn time!
I own a small (micro?) cafe near SFO. And you lost me after that question. Ha-ha! I am so happy to hear that you’re done with self-hating. It must be the most useless thing ever! Hooray for FA!
Oh, my friend and I have a fantasty of being pastry chefs when we grow up so I love the small cafe, good for you!
Alpha client = initial client that will often get the services of the website for an extended period of time at no or little cost, for us, it’d be no cost because we’re small and new. Recommendation engine is the thing that says if you like x you’ll really like y when you buy or view something on a web site. Large engines, like those on Amazon are crazy expensive and outside the the price range of a small mom and pop website. Ours is not. So if you know of anyone or if anyone knows of anyone with a small website who wants to increase sales, give them my name.
Oh! Okay, cool. I used to want to be a pastry chef, but damn that is a heap of work! I’ve got my hands full enough as it is. My cafe is a one-woman show. One, tired-ass woman, that is. Ha! But thank you. I do have a website that was done up for free by my BFF. I certainly couldn’t have done it on my own and unfortunately am completely broke at the moment, but I will keep you in mind if I hear anyone in need. Thanks!
We read it because you’re a wonderful person and writer, and enjoy what you do!
I might do a post like this when I’m next feeling a little overwhelmed and don’t have the spoons to really get in to writing. A nice way to get to know each other.
Aw, Kath, you’re the sweetest thing! Yes, I was secretly hoping more people would post something similar (perhaps a different format) so we could get to know each other better. Yay!
Okay, I’m game….
Kate
…loves to bake, especially bread, and double especially pizza dough
…started making porcelain dolls since she already had a kiln for glass, only to learn that porcelain requires heat that surpasses glass kiln capabilities, but has secretly fallen in love with doll making.
…loves her dogs more than any person other than her husband
…wishes she looked better in pink
…is glad she no longer hates herself because of her weight
…is very curious as to what bobbin lace is
Oh, thank you Kate! Lovely! This is bobbin lace making: http://lace.lacefairy.com/Lace/BeginGuide.html
And I was just talking to my husband about trying to make our own bread. We’re game, but not sure where to start.
Do you have any experience with gluten-free breads? I want to try garbonzo bean flour!
@Kate: Bobbin lace is also waaaaaaaaay fun and cool to do. I’ll be writing up something on the basics next week at my shiny new crafts blog (http://craftymanolo.com). Drop on by and learn some more details.
Not Blue, I have no experience at all with gluten-free breads. But I highly recommend the king arthur flour website for anything regarding baking and they have a gluten-free section: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gluten-free/view-all
The thing with bread making is that you might not end up with what you anticipated, but it’s probably still going to be really delicious. I’m not happy at all with our bread choices where I live (suburban Dallas) and I’m done settling in lifel
I’ll definitely check out the bobbin lace, I just ordered lace from The Netherlands for my doll, which just seems preposterous, so making my own is definitely appealing.
Thanks for the link!
