Career Builders Over Tea

My roommate likes to rave to others about my pancake-making skills. I do enjoy cooking, especially for others. I have just recently really started to get back into cooking the way I did my senior year of college in my little apartment. I used to whip out all kinds of Food Network recipes to try and escape to my little cooking world. I am one who prefers to cook alone. I love it if people make themselves comfortable in the kitchen, but I like doing all the effort. I am sure that part of that is so I can take all the credit if it is good (selfish I know.) OR if it is bad...I can also take the blame. So my Bible study girls starting talking the other night over a nice cup of tea about these wonderful pancakes AKA slaphappys. I think I've already given the history of slaphappys and how they came about, so I won't delve into that. These girls were getting so excited though at the thought of me opening up a breakfast place. We started coming up with different recipes. I probably should have been writing those down. We came up with a location, what the atmosphere would be like, names of dishes, hours of operation, investors, etc. I found myself getting really pumped and had to remind myself that this was not actually happening haha. It felt like a trustee meeting. These girls were going to be a part of the whole thing, coming up with the game plan, encouraging me as if I were going to present it to some head honcho Monday morning. I am not seriously considering this idea yet, but I'm wondering if this could be something. Over the summer I started playing with the idea of a bed and breakfast. That would be more costly, but I was more interested in the breakfast part anyway. Would Lynchburg need another breakfast place? All we have now is Cracker Barrel, IHOP, and Waffle House. All greasy spoons if you ask me. I do eat there though so don't take offense because where else is there to go to go out to breakfast?? It's kind of a fun thought. If anyone has been to Nashville and gone to the Pancake Pantry...this is my inspiration. A constant line forms outside of this place on a daily basis. The smells that hit you as soon as you walk through the door; sweet syrup, fluffy cakes, fresh-brewed coffee. A very family friendly, yet college feel place. I like it! No..I LOVE it! I went there twice in the 4 days I stayed in Nashy. Who knows, maybe later down the road, Slaphappys will be.
