It's a Family Affair

Time to tell more of my story.  My wife, Ella Mae is also a cook and 'house mom' @ a fraternity and she also is a 'house mom' @ a sorority.  We actually work within 3 blocks of each other.  Her sorority position does incur sleeping their every night, 7 days a week.  It makes for a unique relationship as we are married going on 41 years and have always worked side by side.  As I stated in my last post, I cooked for a sorority and yes, it is the one she is @ now.  For 2 years we were considered  'Mom & Pop' since we were both on board their.  The stories we could tell and laughs that we had, made for some interesting times.   I decided it was time for me to make a change and after a rocky first start I have landed into the very satisfying job that I now have.  EM and I will even make the same meals on the same day with out ever confiding in the other about our menu.  Her 'boys' call her Mrs. B and oh how they love and respect her.  Not only cooking and cleaning up after them but also as a motherly ear to listen and even scold if the need arises.  She is my very special friend, wife, mother, grandmother and one of the hardest workers you will ever find.  If I don't bore you to death by than and you come back to read further posts, I will explain the businesses and experiences we have had together.  I thank God for bringing us together and sustaining us through the storms.  Next time I will start with the 'fruit truck' days, yes we were 'hucksters'!......Thanks for letting me share......

We The People

        I've sat back for over these past four years & kept silent as the daily Facebook political posts supporting our now ex-President became even more alarming...Now it's my turn to make my voice known...I can not sit idle any longer...This posting is lengthily & it's my space to write down my thoughts so be fore warned...      Well here it is March 25, 2021 & 563,530 fellow Americans are gone because of the pandemic...We had an inept President & administration for whom facts just didn't matter...The most important duty of a President is to protect us all from foreign & domestic harm & he failed miserably...He has still exhibited no empathy or apology...It still continues to be everyone else's fault..What an inept disgrace of a leader & American... It's amazing to me that he continues to be unfazed & that his cult members still support him...The lies & conspiracy theories continue & we are more divided &...

My Recent Thoughts

 I previously posted this on Facebook &  I am re-posting it here on my blog so it will forever be part of my story.   If you are okay with a Supreme Court that has no public policy for conduct or oversight, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with our government deciding what's best for a women's body, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with all these mass shootings & the massacring our children, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with more guns & less legislation on limiting access to them, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with the continuing hate being used against the LBGTQ community, Asians, people of Color, people with Disabilities, Drag Queens & Disney, then keep voting for Republicans. If you are okay with the lies about the last Presidential election & who won & a certain news network saying that January 6th was just a few folks wanting to take a peaceful tour of the Con...

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

 Well it is almost vacation time!  Never thought I would be closing the Cafe for a week of r&r, but the timing is right.  With the loss of my Mom, the re occurrence of my spinal stenosis which brings on a pain that is sometimes unbearable, the fact that Ella Mae is on Spring Break from her duties @ SU & finally I'm pooped!  If you have followed me on this blog than you know I have 'put it out there' that running a small business & most notably a food business, can take a lot out of you.  The fact that I open & close 5 days a week & do all the cooking & dare I say it I am almost 64!  That last reason would be enough for most, but I love what I do even when 'stuff' comes @ me.  Some times these factors are self inflicted but really most are just events that life can bring to any one of us.  So the Cafe will be closed from Monday March 11 & reopen on Monday March 18.  EM & I are driving down to spend time with...
