The beginning 11/12/2009

This is the start of four friends creating a food business together. Mee-ryung Lee-Dallet is the master mind. I, Pamela Ewald, will be the food master. Stephen Ewald will be legal. Laurent Dallet will be consultant, for now, as he is very talented in food, as well.
It started November 12, 2009, well, actually before that with a hatching of an idea, but that day was the true brainstorming efforts of me and Mee-ryung. We sifted through web-sites of catering and gourmet food. We brainstormed what our products should be and what name we would conduct business under. Mee-ryung had been researching books and web-sites before we worked together.
What we came up with was a working name, For n' Friends, our starting products, healthy cookies, unique flatbread and hummus. We also decided on kitchen space, delivery mode and testing recipes and recording them. This last point is a bit of a labor for me. I am notorious for not writing my recipes down. I cook like my Granny, a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I do consult recipes, especially if I am working with items I have little experience with, but I always make them my own. I found writing down ingredients and quantities tedious. Now, it has to be a priority in order to allow reproducibility. I have also never blogged before. I am marching into new territory in more ways than one.
