About perfection!!!


About perfection!! 

Today I got late to work, and hence not much done. The milk is late too so which mean we may not open up on time. I have to deal with loads of issues everyday some that just don't add up. The builders next door are on it again and almost feel like there going to come through the wall and to make things worse, the sewage is blocked due to the heavy renovation. I can not take another bad comment (although its important) because I spent time on this and sometimes one 
needs to appreciate ones effort regardless. What am I getting at? Crave Kitchen I guess has  its flaws and its not perfect, not meant to be and probably will never be, just trying its best from day to day. Just like everyone else,  my life is filled with flaws, mistakes and imperfections✌
 I have no fear of perfection - I'll never reach it.
 I am not the "perfect" that I would like to be. I would like to adhere to my beliefs more. I would like to be consistent in my attitude during the day. I would like to not have to struggle with some of the things I struggle with.In no way am I but I keep working none the less maybe when I am 85 I will get it right...Ain't easy to get to 85; you have to be impeccable.Perfection is boring and unachievable. Flaws are what makes someone who they are; it is more appealing.
I am far from perfect, who is? But at least I realise that and try to compensate in the areas that I know I am not perfect in. Anyone out there who thinks they are perfect is seriously long way away from perfection! You were born to be real... Not perfect
I am a bundle of flaws and imperfections sewn together with love and good intentions. :>Well no one is perfect and everyone one has flaws that makes us who were are. But we all have good features too,
Indeed!!!!

"All kind of kinds"


 It so happens, that I have discovered the use of my phone and that excuse like I can't blog have to end. I have been blaming it all on my laptop and going mad since the day I poured soda on it, hence the key board does not work and the charger has its own mind. But first I would like to say, I appreciate all of the comments made here and I should make it a point to come here and say something about Crave Kitchen. Moving on.........I have all sort, all kind to report but may I start with  more about Crave and where we are. So two months on and couple of weeks, still getting stronger and craving to expand but hope to maintain the standards that we are know for. We love the team of staff that we have now and have been lucky to have an additional member, a young lady who has joined us this week. I care about them, there welfare and involve myself with problems that they may have but seriously hope all the best. Some have now completed school or courses that they where attending, like in the case of trouble the young girl that has a way with everyone. Am still waiting to see her pass slip and boy she better have passed!!! Also we have a young guy who just not long ago finish school and awaiting to join utali for his peruse on baking. He comes in at night, and trains with me. He is at the best age, young that is and passion like I never seen. So it's only right that Crave Kitchen gets involve, guide him before he moves on to become an great baker. Baking is hard people don't know this, especially when your starting out. The late hour, measuring, waiting probably the hardest thing could break or make you. Any how soon, very soon he will have to man up, bite the bullet and find it in him deep inside that thing that will certain him day to day - bless him. With a helping hand we should be able to do more and should I say the company at night is very welcome. So what else.....the food has changed. I guess to what people want and demand. We decided to do the blackboard menu as opposed to the tradition table menu because it restricted us from taking advantage of new products available, and people never seemed to understand it. It also helps us create something that is ever changing and so not boring. Its always the case with cafes and restaurants to keep it alive and exciting. So every once in a while maybe weekly, I get everyone involved- staff who always know what people want or just an idea that they have. Our customers have change, well not really but just a wider variety from when we started and clearly would expect that as time goes and as we grow. Besides all that, I have changed, not majorly but for what I love most. Baking or cooking?? Am torn between this two but love both dearly. I know there is no on or off button to the things u love. Sure I love many things in life, some more than others. Am confused though!! New love verses old love had torn at my heart and I don't know if I have room for both. I spend days at times thinking about both ( cooking or baking) more and am wondering what my future will look like. Am happy but am also torn some days on what is best. If it was my choice I would do both but baking is more at  home. Nevertheless it's good to remember love never dies a natural death but because we don't know how to replenish its source. My love for coking will always be there but for now baking is the new love. And I have to embrace it wholey becouse there is no remedy for love but to love more!!!!!
