Well! it has been a week and one day instead of one day since I wrote. Work is getting crazier and crazier. It will take to long to explain right now, but the gist of it is----The new Cannon center will be opening in June. The problem is, It doesn't have a real kitchen in it. It will be sort of a glorified food court with most of the food cooked fresh as the clients watch it. Most of the food will thus be cooked ahead in a Central Production Kitchen. The CPK just got approved a few weeks ago. Construction starts on it in the next few weeks, For now we (The Morris Support Kitchen) will be the food prep people. The departments where the new CPK will be have been kicked out so they can demolish the original Creamery and start the CPK. The dairy has been making ice cream for the last six months or so in order to have a years supply of ice cream made and in storage. The Takeout department has joined us in the Morris center kitchen. The bakery for Cannon and the MTC etc will be with us also. We start feeding EFY kids the week of memorial day, We will be doing this for 11 weeks this summer. You should see how we are all crammed into that kitchen. We (the takeout and EFY and Cannon center salad prep area have moved from the front of the kitchen to the back where we will share space with all of the ovens and food warmers, right in time for the summer heat. I am already sweltering in there! All I can say is that perhaps thry should have built the CPK before they built the new Cannon center. Talk about getting the cart before the horse!

After my tiny little remodel, I have learned that when you build, you do it whichever way you can get it. Builders do things on their own timetable and the consequences follow. I have had a vanity cabinet and sink and linen closet in my living room since Mothers day, because the sheet rock isn't finished yet, and may not be for several more days (weeks?) the furnishings came two weeks early because that's when we could get them. With the cost of shipping these days we feel like we should start saving up for shipping the kitchen cabinets now even though we won't get to start the kitchen for at least a year. Life is so dang real sometimes, you have my deep and abiding sympathy. It seem a little odd to put salads in the hottest part of the kitchen in the summer, but there are no doubt reasons that have nothing to do with logic or good sense.
