Well I have to say that I have been neglect in my blogging. It has been many months and much has happened as I will now PEN to you, my readers;
I have had a few customers that have tried my service back in the mid of March. One tried it and was all for it but his schedule really interfeared, {he was out of town a lot} and I guess he decided to go another route. For him I was doing a strict diet of low, low carbs, high veggie and protien as he was also consulting a nutritionist and weight trainer and was working on a goal of losing weight and building muscle mass. I was in contact with his nutritionist / trainer and spoke to her about the diet she wanted him to follow as he was progressing along his weight training and diet, she was able to send me his appointed diet and I could create his menu. I think in this situation, a service like mine is very valuable not only for ease of service and health benefits, but also for its cost effectiveness. I also can work with doctors whom have patients that need special diets. My service can also provide daily meals for people who are home bound.
Well, April and May were slow months and not much was happening when at the beginning of June I received an e-mail from a female asking about my service for lunch and dinner for 3-4 days a week. So I e-mailed her back and did not hear from her but the next night this man called my phone and left a message as to the e-mail, so he left a number and I called him back. We made an appointment to meet the next day at 6pm. That was a Saturday and I was doing a catering job at a friends restaurant and so I prepared a few dishes that I would take over to my new potential client, I made stuffed fried eggplant parmesan with meat and ricotta, stuffed chicken breast with spinach and artichoke stuffing topped with fresh basil and mozzerella cheese, and chicken parmesan. Well, it was a big hit and they tried the eggplant even though at the time, He did not like eggplant. He loved eggplant that night and really love the rest of the food as well. They loved it so much, they hired me as there private chef and that night I found out he was THADDEUS YOUNG, center for the PHILIDELPHIA 76ERS and Shekinah his wife and his son, WOW!!, I was so happy and exited about this gig. It was only going to be for the time that he was here at home in Memphis and I saw this as a great opportunity to make a good name for myself and to meet the right people for future business. That was a Saturday and by Tuesday I was cooking for him, breakfast, lunch and dinner 5 days a week. I also did special parties, provided their sons birthday cake for his party and a bridal shower for her. They are a very kind and generous family and I met a good portion of them and all are very kind. I really enjoy working and cooking for them. This is a dream job for me. They leave the menu up to me and they are really easy to cook for. I like to do special requests for them but they were very few and far between. It was really cool to see and learn the inside stories in the sport of professional basketball.
