....Does not really seem like the holidays this year as we stand by the hearth of our warm bakery ovens. Busy in a different way than in years past. Busy trying to cut cost while never changing our ingredients. In fact we have improved the quality as a focus through the tough times.
Anyway, through the assistance of a friend from the east coast, we developed a Whole line of Whoopie Pies. I added the PEPPERMINT WHOOPIES to our website at www.mrsappletree.com today, so if you feel the holiday gift need or a special treat for you and the family, they are really very good.
Other, more long term, cost savings will come from the Solar Panels that will be installed in the next week or so. An immediate tax advantage and future marketing and cost savings. Lots of Cash out now for possible future profitability.
now we just focus on day to day operations in hope that normalcy will return to shopping patterns of years past and the small indulgences from the past will make their way back into the shopping carts.
I will try to get into the holiday spirit for the kids sake at some time between now and the 25th, but it may be much closer to the latter date. Keep your heads up and "keep swimming". We will all make it through, regardless of the decisions made by the lobby controlled politicians.
Happy holidays from our kitchen to yours!
