Just a quick note

First off I want to apologize for not keeping up on this! I have missed the Black Bean and all of the people that make it what it is. We have made much progress with the renovations and the new place looks spectacular. Unfortunately we were not able to bring any of the decor from the old place and there will be not living room area. There is a waiting area and the dining area. The kitchen area is partially in the open so that you can actually see what Liz and I are doing. This makes us both very scared. Everyone will finally see how mean she is to me!!!

We have passed all the tests necessary to open. We are now awaiting the dishes, glasses and most importantly the gas for the stove and grill! Yes grill, that means burgers!!! The opening day is scheduled for March 10th, a far cry from January 20th as we hoped!!! I will try to scan a new menu over the next 2 weeks.

I have a few things to wrap up at the Lollipop Tree. What a godsend that has been. I will never turn my nose up at baking mixes again!!! It is like having a prep kitchen in a bag!! I have also gotten some great ideas for the BBC, like chocolate peppermint whoopie pies, nutter butter cookies, red velvet cake (messy to make) and I think we will add Raspberry Sauce to the carrot cake center!! I made that for Kathy over the weekend, out standing.

It has been a long time. I am getting anxious just thinking about all that I want to do and all that has yet to be done. We will see you March 10th.

PS. I hope that Josh and Jennifer are ready?
