Going to the next level

Alright, I’m back!

This cookie business has been consuming my life and I’m afraid that the blogs will probably be about launching this business for another few blogs. I’ll write some of the very crazy things we’ve experienced in the next blogs.

Today is SHOWTIME!! Well I hope it is.

As I’ve written before, cookies are in a couple of stores in Northern California and a coffee shop in Goleta. I’ve had some reorders but now that the holidays are over I’ll see about getting a regular delivery system going for them.

So why is today Showtime? Well in early December I was in Peet’s Coffee in Petaluma, a favorite haunt when I’m in that area. I was ordering my coffee and noticed that they had nothing that I could eat, nothing for the gluten intolerant. I mentioned to the cashier that they had nothing for me and they might be interested in my cookies. She immediately gave me the contact info for the corporate office. I did call the office but they asked that I wait until January to submit samples when they would have more time to take a look. Gelson’s also requested that samples be sent in January.

Well it is January so today is the day I’ll bake and ship, not only to Peet’s but Gelson’s and Lassen’s. My good friend Charlene (she is acting as a business manager) has also insisted that cookies will go to Oprah and the Today Show.  YIKES! A really scary and really exciting day for me!
