    shipping boxes

    Boxes are heavy and shipping can get a little pricey but Uline has the best prices I have found and great service. They have any size or shape you could want.

    Motivation?

    That is often a dilema for me. I want to get orders out the door for customers who are waiting for them but I know I am not doing my best work if my heart and mind aren't in the game. If I am not feeling up to the task I am better off staying out of the shop as I will likely just end up doing it...

    Hot Brown!

    Pretty simple but incredibly delishious. Put some stuffing on the plate, add some turkey, cover with toast, and drown it in cheddar (or Paresan) cheese sauce. Top with bacon. Some add a couple of tomato slices. The dish is named after the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY where it was...
