I have been searching for a commercial kitchen for weeks, and finally called the county health department yesterday. This was after Bub called me and told me that I had a message from someone answering my ad that I have been running for two weeks, looking for a commercial kitchen to rent. I was ecstatic. About a half hour later he called me with this dreadful sound to his voice. He told me that he accidentally deleted the voice mail and had called the phone company and been told that there was no way to retrieve the number.
I was sitting at the dining room table and sort of just staring. There was a little pamphlet sitting there and I mindlessly started looking through it. I saw the Andrew County Health Department in it, and on a whim called them and asked if they knew of any businesses that rented out their kitchens. She politely gave me three names and numbers of churches that do. I called two of them. One called back and said no, and one called back and said yes! It was the church that had the nicest person I had talked to and had explained my situation to. She called back within about two hours and told me that they would like to rent their kitchen to me for $25/week. That is unbelievably inexpensive and like I said, she was so nice.
I am so excited. This will not be my lunch delivery plan, but it is money coming in and getting my name out there. Today was a good day.
And if you have read through all of this, here is a little reward for you. I made this for the teacher's luncheon and it was a hit. I didn't have any parsley, used red onion instead of green, eased back a bit on the herbs, didn't have Kalamata olives so I used plain black ones and cut back on the olive oil. It was very good, but I think I would like some parsley in there at least for color. I don't know who to credit this for...sorry.
