At Work

It’s still unbelievable to me that this is our workplace! We can customize the office however we want!

Photos to come later!

IMG_8945 (427x640)

Have you ever used a laminator!? Very cool! We now have signs all around the bakery. Whoo!

IMG_8947 (640x427)

OH, and WE PASSED INSPECTIONS! And the oven works!!!!!!!! It’s video time!!!

I worked straight through morning, came over here, worked through lunch and finally had to stop to eat for nourishment.

Packed into my lunchbox, and eaten at a Great Harvest Cville table…

IMG_8948 (640x427)

Salad with honey + olive oil + lavender salt plus zucchini, green pepper, leftover tomato basil risotto and leftover chicken and chickpeas.

IMG_8952 (640x427)

Yum!

IMG_8954 (640x427)

Plus the last slice of High Five bread

Sad smile this !

IMG_8955 (640x427)

Can’t wait to eat our own bread in here!!

IMG_8949 (640x427)

IMG_8956 (640x427)

Sorry to those of you who missed out on the Justin’s Nut Butter OpenSky deal! There is a place on the promo page to sign up for the wishlist – we’re trying to get Justin to authorize another batch to be released and if you’re on the wishlist you’ll be the first to know.

Back 2 work!

    Congrats on passing inspections! The place looks fabulous. I have a Great Harvest question I’m hoping you can answer. As someone concerned about portion control (and no scale) I’m wondering if GH breads are often sold pre-sliced . Or is it up to each individual store to choose whether or not to do so?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      May 11, 2011 at 5:07 pm

      Hi Beth,
      It’s up to the store whether or not they do slicing, and also up to the customer to choose. If you have a food scale at home, you could weigh a few of your hand slices and get an eyeball idea of what a 2 oz serving looks like?

    Do you ever think of offering cooking classes at your bakery? I think that would be so much fun, especially if you can have them be very specific (for kids, mom and daughter date, for diabetics, etc.) Not sure what goes into something like that, but it might be a fun addition. Especially since you know so much about healthy living and *enjoying* it to boot! I think so many people fear that dietitians eat cardboard. You prove the opposite. 😀

    I used to have the job of laminating signs for my 5th grade class. I will never forget how exciting I thought it was to watch the machine fuse the plastic together!

    Your salad looks yummy and interesting! When you use honey and olive oil as a dressing, do you just drizzle each on separately or do you whisk them together first?

So I looked to see if there are any in my area (I live in GA), and there are!
