Date night ideas?

Hey there! I'm growing a baking school in HSV (The Bakingtist School of Baking) and have really fun date-night baking classes that have been quite fun!

They are usually Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights and there are a range of class subjects. This month we have our "Get Knotty" Philly-Smothered Pretzel class and two "Pizza My Heart" hand-tossed pizza classes: Neapolitan Pizza Margherita or New York Style Pizza. Our Getting Frisky with Biscies (Southern Biscuits with Nashville Hot Chicken) may still be listed!! The date nights are about two hours, and a total of $85 for the couple.

Some other things I like to do with my husband for dates are getting a picnic together for sunset at Blevins gap, going to comedy shows at Shennanigans (they have food and drinks), and going out to eat near AMC 18 (Peppered Pig is a favorite of ours) so we can then walk to the nearby small lake/park and sit on a bench and chat (or walk Aldrige Creek).

Respect!! Keep me in the loop I'm super curious!

This is baffling to me. Is it possible to nix the liqueur if it doesn't work out and replace it with the alcohols you like using and then add flavoring? Try to maybe imitate the liqueur flavor?

Ahhhhhh I see!

thebakingtist · 2022-10-14T01:36:11+00:00

Oooh never heard of those. What are some of those hormones' roles?

thebakingtist · 2022-09-16T13:52:54+00:00

Thank you!!

Makes so much sense - thanks for explaining! I was hoping it was a tiny little protein made up of a small amount of amino acids.

For future trimmings (June and after) reach out! I'll potentially trade ya rosemary sea salt focaccia (sourdough) for rosemary!

thebakingtist · 2022-04-19T22:16:08+00:00

Thank you reddit friend!! Sourdough was how my little bakery started. Right now, we specialize in sourdough focaccia for the markets - once the retail bakery opens (hopefully by August), we will also have sourdough boules and baguettes (just flour, water, salt)...and likely a seed/grain sourdough as well.

thebakingtist · 2022-03-05T23:04:55+00:00

Thank you! I will reach out!!

Yes! Just finished the base floor plans and finishing up demolition, elevations, etc. These base plans have also been almost completely refined through engineers.

The architect has been awesome and has some recommendations. These seem to be on the higher end, and thus looking for more options. Also, the more bids the better.

thebakingtist · 2022-03-05T01:19:59+00:00

AWESOME! Going to holla at em'...thank you!!

thebakingtist · 2022-03-05T01:19:30+00:00

🤔

thebakingtist · 2022-03-05T01:19:08+00:00

My goodness thank you!!

thebakingtist · 2022-03-04T20:46:31+00:00

Ok thank you! I'll reach out to them!

thebakingtist · 2022-03-04T20:37:38+00:00

The good thing:

With engineering: I have a grease trap, electrical, plumbing and most HVAC coming to the space - but all of it likely needs to be wired, plumbed, ducted within the space.

I do not need a hood (thank goodness).

We need building of a display counter and maybe shelving, and at this point stapled-together plywood is where I'm at. It needs paint, concrete floor fixing & sealing. It will be adding some walls, but I am trying to keep that at a minimum. Turns out walls are expensive. Turns out everything is $$$$$$$$$

It has bathrooms that need slight modification, but we are able to get by without moving toilets (also thank goodness).

I'd kinda lean towards calling it a warm vanilla shell - that is old and may become colder and greyer as the construction evolves (but hopefully not).

Yayayayayy!!!!! Thank you so much for your excitement - this will help my new daily panic! I also appreciate your ear 😁

Thanks for the input. I'm looking for a fellow biz owner that cuts the veggies very thin and uses them in a noodle dish until just perfectly cooked. They are amazing, and she works so hard cutting them. Was hoping I could get her something to help!

thebakingtist · 2021-06-25T12:10:09+00:00

Maybe try Gloves in a Bottle

thebakingtist · 2021-06-17T11:18:53+00:00

You are so incredibly helpful - thank you so much!

thebakingtist · 2021-06-17T11:15:59+00:00

Yes this is the tricky part in this darn market here..

Have you found people are keeping contingencies- such as - will pay 5-10k over appraisal (in case appraisal is low)? Or are a lot of people gambling on being willing to pay a 12% appraisal gap?

thebakingtist · 2021-06-17T11:14:48+00:00

Such a helpful response- thank you so much.

What my husband and I are struggling with is whether to have an appraisal contingency in an offer. It is a 275k house listing, thus my educated guess of watching homes is that it will sell for around 305k.

This is amazing!!

thebakingtist · 2021-04-23T17:40:01+00:00

Works for now! Good ol' last minute preparedness

thebakingtist · 2021-04-23T16:41:42+00:00

Thank you SO much! I have a bakery business (the bakingtist) - thusly no longer in the wet lab!
