Getting this business up and running!

So, I had my first real, honest to goodness catering job last Friday. It went really, really well. I learned a lot from it as well. Like if they want me to stay there and serve them or if they want me to leave and come back. Instead, I was there, with my friend, in heels, the entire two and a half hours. Needless to say when I finally got into the car afterwards I just wanted to take my shoes off and just feel my feet.

So, things I learned.....
Don't wear high heels to a catering job
ASK if they want full catering service or to just come drop off and pick up
Wear comfortable clothing and preferably NOT black....or dark blue (trust me on this one, flour and dark pants)
Wear an apron. Preferably, a cute one :0)

So, with that first notch in my belt I decided that I needed a website, and a business bank account. I already have my business license. So, I got them. I am a full fledged business!! YAHOO!!! Now it's all about getting clients, so I thought! I am having such a hard time with this website. Coming up with the name and buying it was the easy part. Getting it actually up and running? THAT is the issue I can't figure out.
I am a COOK people, not a web designer! I can't even figure out where it is that I start typing things, much less  put pictures or anything. Everything is written in Greek, well, at least to me. Now, give me a recipe, I can cook it...perfectly, this....not even close. Have problems with your bread? Ask me, I can figure that out without a problem. I can't even begin to figure this out. I'm thinking of hiring someone to make my website workable, maybe even cute and professional. I guess I just never thought getting a website together would be this hard. How do people do this everyday, all day? Not sure, but my chef's hat is off to them for sure.


So, tonight as I was sitting here trying to figure this web page thing out I decided to make a few loaves of bread. I mean really, who doesn't do that? I guess I was so preoccupied with the lack of knowledge of the website that I did something to my bread that I have never done before. I'm not sure what it was, but after the second rising I went to put it in the oven and it looked, well, weird. The middle of it looked like a normal loaf of bread and then it looked like another loaf around the middle. I always score my bread, maybe it was a little deeper this time? I don't know but it wasn't pretty. So, I decided to punch it down and start all over again. I was worried that it wouldn't rise again, or at least not rise properly but boy was I wrong! It actually rose great and when I baked it, it was, well....better. All around better. It was lighter, fluffier and the crumb was better. I know that is a total 3 hour rise, but man it's so much better. I am going to start making it like that for now on. I just know that the kids are going to love it tomorrow when they take it to school for their lunches.
