Spring Kickoff on Ice: A Blizzard Can't Stop This Neighborhood Celebration!

[Intrepid_Chef]

Last week I went up and down my street, hand-delivering invitations to a spring kickoff. I didn't have high hopes from the neighborhood because when I knocked on all those doors, I was suprised at how old some of the people who lived on the upper half of the street were! Some of them are the same litle old ladies that lived there when I was a kid!

Well, we got hit with a huge BLIZZARD! To give you an idea of what it's like out there, there is a car stuck in the street in front of my neighbor's house. I see no footprints, so apparently the driver gave up and walked home long ago. I have a foot of snow on my front walk, chicken for jerk chicken nachos on the grill, and my skillet ready on the stove.

I did send out an e-mail urging all those people who never RSVP'd that they could place their orders online!

I am going to shovel my walk, make nachos and molten brownies and if it's just me and roomie, so much the better! I need the Mandoline practice anyway. Then I am going to follow the lead of another poster and MAKE SOME CALLS!

HOWEVER ... I am REALLY WORRIED about getting to my show tomorrow afternoon! The blizzard should blow over by then, but my street is the last one ever to get plowed!

Spring thaw can't come soon enough!

I had a show for today cancel for the same reason. We got alot of snow overnight & are expecting blizzard-like conditions later this afternoon. I only do shows on weekends & Thurs. when I'm off. She's thinking of rescheduling for Thurs. I hope she does so I can earn the HWC products. I also have one
next Sat. I told her we have to close that day. I'm working on my own catty show with a little discount to my regulars so hopefully I can earn the HWC tablecloth too.

I'm so sorry about your weather, but so glad it just missed me in Indiana. We ended up just getting about an inch. You have the right attitude for this business though.

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about the blizzard in your neighborhood. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to get around and how worried you are about your show tomorrow. But don't worry, I have some tips for you that might help! First, try reaching out to your guests and offering to reschedule the show if needed. This way, you won't have to worry about getting there in the snow. You can also offer to do a virtual show if that's easier for everyone. And don't forget, you can always reach out to me for help with online orders or any other concerns. Hang in there, spring will be here before you know it!
