almost 5 years have passed since kera and i bought ”wild blueberry bakery”.

needless to say, things started changing immediately – beginning with the name.

”wild bistro” was born. as time passed, we quickly got a reputation for good food and great times.  a good reputation doesn”t pay the bills and we didn”t have any sort of financial buffer so the debt mounted uncomfortably fast.  (any mental imagery you get at this point in the narrative is strictly your responsibility) i stopped loving what we were doing when we lost our house – but i kept doing it anyway. it really doesn”t take long, in that sort of situation, to make the leap from love to hate. except…the food, the music, the wine and even some of the people (ok – most of the people) made what we were doing special for so many -including us.  so it was really a love – hate thing, despite my protests that it was pure hatred.

and so, i miss wild bistro. i knew i would miss some of the people (i just didn”t grasp the scope of it)  but i really had no intention of missing the work…  the cooking, the interaction with customers, even the cleaning! wtf?

and now, several months later, i am still asking my self ”what next?’
