In Case You Were Wondering

--Oh people. Two in the morning is such a very early hour at which to be making cinnamon rolls.
--We serve escargot at The Brandy House. Not that I would ever eat that, but it's impressive all the same.
--Ever known for my horrendous first impressions, I managed to knock over a running Hobart Mixer (read: 2 tons and extremely expensive) full of bread dough on my first day, in front of all disapproving authorities.
--Please note that the Secret Baseball Crush strategy is also extremely effective in the workplace.
--I love my job.

Small Consolation

In the vast and occasionally bleak world of the singleton, it's nice to know that at least all of the Mexican busboys want to marry you.

Culinary Survey

So, when you go into a very fancy restaurant and you have a fabulous meal, what's the one thing you want to see on the dessert menu? Do you hope (as I do) for some new and maybe even slightly odd-sounding concoction (like lavender-infused creme brulee or a pepper custard pie), or are you a die hard for the (boring but good) classics--cheesecake and such? And would you ever try the wierd stuff of your own accord, or would it have to be "snuck into" the dessert to get you to eat it?

And don't knock the pepper custard pie till you've tried it.
