Surviving Thriving and Mozzarella Sticks

So I don't know.

Is there a moral to this? Well, I suppose I will say this, that the day the flood was like from 12 in the afternoon to three or something was terrible.

And we still managed.

We had a tasting party that night.

We asked all our couples, do you still want to come? And they were so stoic.

They still wanted to come.

And so we did this tasting party and it was fantastic.

And I said, go on and get home before the rain comes back.

And they got home just in time to not get rained on.

And my chef and I did not.

So it was very thankless, I suppose, to walk home in the rain after all that hazarite.

But we survived and we cranked out hot, delicious food and then had a beautiful wedding the next day.

And that was all I needed as a trophy.

That and the fact that my phrasers, thank God, thank God, thank God, they held firm.

Thank you, Lord.

So I'm feeling grateful to have survived this crazy thing.

And I'm also feeling proud, very, very, very proud of Jeremiah.

for bailing out the water.

And we don't know if it helped to bail it into the sink or who knows, but it seems like it did.

Proud of David on his first day at work, he survived.

Proud of us, proud of Manuel and me and all of us for cranking out this beautiful supper.

And so happy and proud of my entire staff for the wedding the next day.

I mean, you really know who you are when you're hit this kind of thing.

I mean, people don't know, like if we actually had to go to war, I think you should get all of the caterers on your side because that is a very tough way to make a living.

But this is not about bragging.
