Happy Valentine's Day

I'm sitting home, relaxing with a glass of wine, enjoying the good honest tiredness of a hard day's work. I love it when it's busy, not because it helps pay the bills, but just because it's tons funner with all the happy people around.

Aside from a few gliches of the credit card machine, mostly our internet connection which was not cooperating, it was so fabulous that we were able to make enough sweet treats for everybody who came in to get for their sweeties.

I'm tired, so accordingly, I'll cut this post short.

Hello! Found this in the PI today—though I’m sure you’ve already seen it, I thought I’d pass it along for anyone else who may be reading.

Hi Stephanie,

I have been looking for a great morning bun recipe and keep seeing your name on various sites :). Your blog is darling!

I have the Tartine cookbook on order now, and found the morning bun recipe on 7x7.com (yay).

Too bad that I am not in Seattle, you'd be seeing a lot of me, your bakery looks amazing. I'll be sure to tell my Seattle brother about it.

Have a wonderful week!

Came in for the first time yesterday. The lavender shortbread is incredible. Unfortunately I was run off by the loud music. I love Pink Floyd as much as the next guy but when I want coffee and a sinful treat I prefer something that is more soothing and less of an impediment to conversation or thought. Perhaps some nice 30's jazz...

we play almost every sort of music, as long as it's mostly mellow, and are always happy to take requests to make your stay more comfortable. everybody has their own tastes, mine change daily, like our pastries!

Hi, Mrs. Crocker. I have a strange request, but one not without reason.
In my spare time I write a comic strip called "A La Mode," about a patisserie owner named Lamode who has to deal with her mischievous but well-intentioned apprentice Schulz and his friend Kei-Shen. I just wanted to know some technical info about running a bakery; I can email you a full list of questions, but for now I just want to know how much money (in American dollars) one would need to start such a business in a small town in the middle of nowhere (as Schulz likes to point out when he's in a bad mood_ and what kind of equipment she would be using. Any information would be helpful.
Thank you for your time.
