Glazed Over

Man oh man, things just got really, really busy. I just realized about 10 things we need to do for the bakery before Friday and panicked. I am soooo not good under pressure! Feeling a bit glazed over at the moment.

We DID get a lot done at the bakery today. Just basic cleaning because everything is still so dirty! Maybe I should focus less on cleaning and more on just putting stuff in there dirty and cleaning when this deadline has passed…

Dirty, dirty windows

Before:

After. Better, but the outsides could use some help too! Thanks to Shaklee Window mix for the help!! I used an ENTIRE BOTTLE of cleaner on all of our windows!!

Windowsills cleaned for the second time..

We arrived home and I immediately put together one of our many videos we must send to Great Harvest this week. Matt got started on our Mother’s Day Dinner.

IMG_8785BlogIMG_8782Blog

We roasted a whole local chicken and smothered it in my M.Day Praline Mustard glaze by Dr. Pete’s. MY GOSH THIS GLAZE IS AMAZING!! More like caramel cause than a savory sauce – imagine chicken glazed in walnuts and caramel!

IMG_8789BlogIMG_8788Blog

On the side we had a big pile of red cabbage in a BBQ sauce glaze. Matt is the King of Glazes. He takes the sauce and the cooking liquid of the cabbage and once the cabbage is tender, he removes it and boils down the sauce until it’s very thick and syrupy. Tonight he used Tribal Moose Cranberry BBQ sauce and did that method and then drizzled it over the cabbage on our plates. Also, totally amazing!

IMG_8784BlogIMG_8793Blog

IMG_8786Blog

Of course our Peanut Butter Buckeyes made their dessert appearance!! YUM!!!!

IMG_8796Blog

Feeling a bit better now that I have a grasp on everything and a big LIST formed of what we need to do. I’m thinking about skipping BodyPump tomorrow and going to run errands instead..I can lift some equipment to make up for it!

Nite.

    Praline Mustard glaze by Dr. Pete’s– I MUST have that. NOW!! That is 100% my kinda sauce!

    And the Cranberry BBQ sauce would be a close 2nd.

    And the buckeyes. Wow, Kath. Great eats on this post.

    There is nothing dirtier and grimy-er than new construction or construction messes. The dust, dirt, grime, filth..it permeates the windows, every nook and cranny. I feel your pain. Hang in there!

    That Praline Mustard glaze looked sooo delicious that I looked up the Dr. Pete’s website to order and ship…BUT then I looked under “store locations” and was SOOO happily surprised to see that even though they only stock 6 locations in all of California, one of those places is less than a mile away from my house!!!
    p.s. your Great Harvest is starting to really come together!

    Whenever I’m in a construction area I always wonder how long it must take to get all that dust and mess cleaned up. Apparently the answer is a very long time with multiple passes! Good luck this week, it must be so stressful but I’m sure you guys will make it happen!

    The bakery looks so wonderful! Congratulations on the progress – you are almost there.

    Where did Matt pick up the buckeyes? They look wonderful. My dad always makes a big batch of buckeyes at Christmastime. This year he made them with natural peanut butter and dark chocolate just for me. 🙂

    For a one-time quick fix since you are under a tight time constraint, maybe you can get one of the cleaners that attach to your garden hose for the outside windows. Especially since there is so much construction dirt, you might need to hose down the outside front of your bakery where the rain might not wash because of the nice new overhang.

    The bakery is looking great! I’m sure everything will come together in time! As far as the cleaning goes, I say don’t clean ANYTHING that has ANY chance of getting dirty again before the opening! Get everything else done that you need to, then clean, just like you said. Good luck!!!!!

    You have certainly had a hectic week! I think I would be feeling stressed too, but I am sure everything will come together (just as I am sure my writing that doesn’t make you feel one bit better!). I am also a bit fan of lists…they are very soothing. Lots of luck for the next few days.

    Your bakery is looking awesome! I was in Atlanta yesterday and wanted to check out a Great Harvest, but they were closed on Sunday for “loafing”. Too funny. Good thing that whole bottle of glass cleaner cost less than a penny. My Shaklee products arrived and I LOVE them!

      Oh bummer – we’ll be loafing on Sundays too.

      Agreed on the Shaklee! I would have felt bad for “wasting” so much if it had been Windex! Also, not good for breathing in!

    I so relate to your angst, Kath. I too dislike working under external deadline pressure, but consider that you are the master of managing long to-do lists. You know what your doing!

    Wishing I could swing by to lend a hand with all the heavy lifting, but alas, know that I’m sending you my best for a productive, snafu-free week ahead.

    Yes – get it in the there. Clean later if you got to. When time is tight, you do what you have to do.

    Looks great – roasted chicken is like a delicacy – a perfect substitute for fried 😉
