update from satch
i got 2 shows coming up. eight new paintings at satchel’s in december and then a show of the past 20 years of work at hector’s in january. the picture here is a portion of an old painting/ collage from the 90′s.
tonight. well, it wasn’t easy. there were some clogs in the sewer lines yesterday and a plumber came out and fixed that. but today again, we had back up. called the plumber back. he spent a good amount of time trying to locate the problem but it seems it might be bigger then just a clog. maybe a tree root or something. anyway, he has to come back in the daylight and dig and so tonight our bathrooms were out of order although we had the plumber on site trying to fix it. one lady was really irate about it, said we shouldn’t be open and stuff. i didn’t talk to her personally but the manager told her we were doing our best to fix the problem. it’s not like you get a clogged toilet and you close the restaurant.
then, to add insult to injury, there was a long string baked into one of our gluten free crusts. we get the crusts from a bakery out of deland. they are millet and flax seed and are becoming quite popular with those who avoid wheat. but how did this string get baked into it? i wish i knew. i like that it wasn’t our fault but i don’t like that i am serving this product. seems i should go to deland and check out this bakery…
the gator game had us really slow. there was a band back in LSE getting paid a hundred bucks but no one back there to enjoy it. then, after the game, around 9:30 we did get a rush. the place finally filled up just about closing time. and the bathrooms were still down and well, it was all out of my control at that point.
but the gators won. and the pies were looking good. and i’m glad that we now have 2 days to fix the plumbing problems.
see ya’ll tuesday. we’ll let sami’s bakery know to leave the strings out of the gluten free pies.
