Memo

Onions for 3-Bean Chili

Dearest Blog,
I know you feel I've been distant. I'm sorry I've been neglecting you; that our meetings have been so brief and formal. You have accused me of being cold and repetitive. You are no longer excited to see me logged on. I can sense this.
Look Blog, I could try and explain my offenses, I could make up a million and one excuses in my defense. But I won't. There is no need to dig up the past. We both know our potential. We both know we are capable of having a wonderful, giving, and successful relationship.

So I say let sleeping dogs lie. Instead let's embrace what lies ahead in our future. This is what I want to focus on with you. Oh Blog! What great things lie ahead of us!!! Our journey together is just beginning. It would be a shame to let our past overshadow our future. So once again we shall join forces and together look forward to sharing and writing about:

• Our new menus including: breakfast, lunch, and Weekend Brunch
  
• This week's ice cream flavors: Key Lime, Grapefruit Mimosa Sorbet, Vietnamese Coffee, Peanut Butter & Jelly, and Cardamom Honey
• Hosting the upcoming Echolocations record release party
  
• The welcomed addition of Homemade Apple Slaw, Red Onion Relish, and Tomato Jam
• Fancy shmancy new aprons
• The creation of a 3-Bean Chili recipe to die for, written on a freezing cold Portland night
• Sunday's Lemon Curd-Cottage Cheese Pancakes with Oregon Blueberry Syrup
  

So there you go, Blog. That's about it. Your Dad and I, and all of your Aunties and Uncles have been very busy doing right by you and the cafe. We have been working on big things...good things that will literally change our life as we know it. Well, maybe that's a bit dramatic but believe me, we haven't been this stoked on cafe happenings in a loooooonnng while. Thanks for hearing me out. If you have any questions or you need to talk, you know where you can find me.

Love,
Mom
