DONT YOU DARE COMPLAIN…. is what I tell myself on these hot days.
Remember when it was minus 20 and you cursed to yourself the entire 20 mile ride to work?
DONT YOU DARE COMPLAIN…. is what I follow up with.
I would rather be hotter than colder. I enjoy the heat. Sure the kitchen gets pretty hot, but riding home with the windows down or on the motorcycle is something I look forward to. Maybe it wouldn’t be as awesome if the kitchen was more comfortable.
As things heat up I’d like to remind everyone that the trends look like its only going to get hotter.
And because of that I❤️🍟 is dedicated to doing good for the planet.
Everything we give you to throw away will break back down into soil in a reasonably short amount of time. Imagine if the big companies like McDonalds and Taco Bell did this?!?!?! Not only would the -currently enormous - landfills be much smaller the world might have had a different trajectory all together. Instead of facing imminent hardships that a warming planet brings we could’ve been living in that one version of Neverland from the Peter Pan Movie with Ronin Williams in it. How cool would that have been?
We are doubling down on our commitment to the environment. We now have plastic cups that are both compostible and made from sustainable resources.
We installed a tankless water heater so that when we are not here using water we wont have a tank maintaining 120 degree temperature.
We grow our own cilantro and oregano, and because of this we do not have to spray any chemicals onto the plants. We do not have to order any oregano or cilantro and have it shipped on a truck, plane, or boat burning fossil fuels to deliver us something so accessible. The freshness of our cilantro and oregano cannot be beat as we harvest most of our plants to-order picking as needed right off the plants.
To end this post I will make a proclamation or two. I just wanted to chime in and basically say we have some cups, made some adjustments and food got way more expensive.
For my first proclamation; in a changing world of rising food costs I❤️🍟 will make sacrifices of course… Under no circumstances shall those sacrifices be of quality, integrity, or cleanliness.
Secondly, we will blog more. I promise.
Thirdly, and I’m just adding this. There will be a party. 100%. More on that later.
We will also “try” to throw some weekly special event. I say try, because this requires working with the village people. I just saw the permit application and it was a doosey. I’m not saying anything negative towards them, but for me personally I’m like batting under .200 when facing the village people.
