I have been informed that it is "basic witch" season so I'm pulling out all of the pumpkin spice, apple, and maple things at the cafe. It's all first come first serve and will be a random assortment each day based on what I have time and ingredients for, but if you really want something let me know ahead of time and I'll try to make extra.

[Fake cut for fake menu:
Includes all sorts of fall flavored drinks, some savory breads, some sweet breads, lots of muffins and pastries, and some desserts. Most prominent flavors are pumpkin, maple, pecan, and zapapples]

Also looking for some counter help if anyone is interested? Once the snow shows up it tends to get a bit busier and I'd like some time to get you trained and comfortable with all the machinery. Could also teach some of the baking if anyone is interested. Was considering doing a few evening events with things like hot cider and mulled wine and live music or classes of some sort too, so would need a few extra hands.

	Are you doing cooking/baking classes? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	babybuck 2019-10-08 12:29 pm UTC (link)
	I could! I'm better at the baking side of things but I know some about making pasta and breads and things. Or I could recruit one of my moms. Anything you wanted in particular? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Basic stuff. I can make coffee, and I can manage bacon and eggs, and then I have no idea. My dad's worse. If there's a basic class, I'm signing both of us up for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Basic witch season? That one's new to me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	babybuck 2019-10-08 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	well, as far as I know the more conventional phrase uses a different word, but there were kids around and Darcy is... Darcy, so that's what it is now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Met quite a number of "basic witches" in my time. Hot Topic girls who watched The Craft a few times and thought they'd take a crack at the dark arts. Never turns out the way they thought it would. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I can help with the baking. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	babybuck 2019-10-08 12:27 pm UTC (link)
	that'd be great. I usually start around 3 on week days and 5 on the week ends but you can wander in whenever works for you, it's never a strict schedule (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Great, cause what time I come in will depend on when I get a sitter settled with Eli. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No worries, most of the stuff I do early is just getting the breads going so it's pretty simple anyway. More hands would help more later on when people start coming in.

I do also have a set up for Stephie that has plenty of room if you ever wanted Eli close. It's out in the dining room since Steph is usually asleep the first few hours but I've got a couple extra tablets rigged up as cameras so I can keep an eye on her from the kitchen.

	That'd be great! How old is Steph now? About a year? She doesn't have any telepathic abilities, right? Because Eli sometimes broadcasts by accident. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Counter help! I can do that. I worked in an ice-cream parlor over the summer, until the mall it was in blew up. And I don't have my references here with me. (Reply to this)
