Helloooo! It’s been almost two months since my last blog entry. I feel like I’m being chased by an invisible force to hurry up and get sh*t done.
I’ve got photos of the cafe build progress. I was told that we’re 60-70% completed. So the rest of the work will go faster than the beginning. Then there’s inspection inspection and more inspection.
I have got so many spreadsheets going for inventory, tasks, and paperwork after paperwork. The amount of organization required to ensure everything is running smoothly takes anyone’s breath away. But once they’re done, it will be easier to maintain. Gotta have a system, especially since I’m going to be mainly in Oshawa making the food. It gives me anxiety to be honest…not being there to greet and serve you.
Jhon will be back and forth and Dr. Phil will be there, as well as the awesome people we’ve got lined up to serve you.
We want the Mathilda’s vibe to bleed into the cafe, where you feel better as soon as you step in.
And I have been working hard at finishing my cookbook. My intuition is pushing me to finish it before the cafe opens.
My gardening book has been selling steadily. Thank you for your support. I’m humbled and honoured. My garden is thriving, especially the plants inside the greenhouse. I have been harvesting a few pounds of green beans, LOTS of kale, and some tomatoes are starting to ripen. I’m eagerly waiting for my hot peppers to ripen. They seem to take the longest.
The next blog entry will have a better timeline of cafe opening. Ciao for now. Take good care of you, there’s only ONE of you.
Cheers,
Mathilda
