I worked in the Bakery almost all week end. I don't mind doing a Demo for Bakery.......but, all us Demo ladies have heard the stories about how Demo ladies will disappear into the Bakery......never to be seen again ! No, really......I was giving out samples of Pumpkin Muffins...when I was asked to come into the Bakery & help Package. My least favorite thing. It's hot in the Bakery & there are no mats to stand on (so you're standing on cement floors all day). So, almost all day Thurs. & Fri. I packaged Cookies......Rolls......Muffins....& pies. As well as took orders for Cakes....& got orders for Cakes. Nobody who works in the store likes to work in the Bakery....including the people WHO work in the Bakery....Gees.
Saturday was a weird day. I had Jalapeno Poppers with grape jelly (I kid you not).........& all was going well....when a kid came along....licked the jelly off the Popper...put it back in the little cup & tried to put it back on the tray....(sigh).
Then one of the other Demo ladies told me.....a lady came up to her table...took a Hot Pocket....ate the middle out of it.......then tried to hand it back to her & said, "Here, I don't like this." Going back to the Bakery a min. I found a chewed up Pumpkin Muffin behind a Roasted Chicken in the Deli....Gees ! Why, oh why, do people do this ? If you don't think you are going to like something....then why take it ? I mean....I can see a kid do something like this......But, an Adult ? Would you do this at home ? Half eat something than put it back...or hide it somewhere ? If you take a bite out of something & don't like it.......then put it in the trash can....which is right in front of my table. After all....that's why I'm standing there......for you to TRY it. I won't be offended if you don't like it. Because there are alot of things I Demo, that I personally don't like. Like the Chicken Alfredo I Demoed on Sunday. Don't like Alfredo sauce......Nope.
Ah well. It's getting to be almost time for me to get up & start moving around here. I haven't touched my Apt. for 4 days.......& the cat's littler box is getting a little strong.......down right smelly ! Then I have not only laundry to put away, but more to wash. (sigh). And, I have to go help serve Lunch....& go shopping !
One day I'll kiss the right Frog......he'll turn into the Handsome Prince...we will retire to Florida.......& live Happily Ever After........Yeah, right !
I've kissed a few Frogs in my time........so many my lips are getting warts......& I'm growing to hate the taste of Frog.
I have a dish towel I keep on my oven handle........there's a little green frog on a wooden spoon with a chef's hat & apron....on the apron it says, "Kiss the Frog." I keep it there to remind me.......I still have a few Frogs to go. (sigh). In the mean time.......I'm happy to just stay home with my cat.
