Monday is usually a quiet night at the restaurant, but not this week! Two of our favorite people in the world, Vince and Susie, just announced their engagement so we, and a few dozen more of their friends, threw them a party at the restaurant.

We first met Vince when he came to work for Bun as a waiter about three years ago. He’s a lovely guy, friendly and open, and was a big hit with the customers. He likes to sing while he works, and at first we were a bit iffy about this … maybe it would disturb the customers? But after several of our regulars mentioned to us how much they enjoyed hearing Vince sing, since he was obviously having such fun serving them, we let him go for it.

Last weekend Bun and I took the kids to the Farmers’ Market in town. Bun goes there quite often looking for interesting food ideas for the restaurant, and to stay in touch with friends in the local food scene, but I hadn’t been there for ages.

Having talked about my children, it’s probably only reasonable that I now introduce my husband. If I’m to call the kids Ketchup and Mustard, I am sorely tempted to refer to my husband as hot dog. However for the sake of propriety, I think I shall instead call him Bun.

I mentioned in my first post that I’d been home with the kids for a couple of years — it would be sensible then, I suppose, if I were to introduce them.

I have two boys, Ketchup and Mustard. No, I’m not one of those weird celebrity parents who gives their children strange names — I just decided that I’d prefer to be a little bit private about my family and so I’ll refer to my two year old as Ketchup and my five-year-old as Mustard. Why those particular pseudonyms? Because I’m eating a hot dog at the moment, and and those names just came to mind!

Hi, I’m excited to have started with my first blog. For the last couple of years, since I’ve been at home with our kids, I’ve been reading more and more blogs when I have a chance to be on the Internet. Now I’ve decided it’s my turn. Read more »
