Even though it’s curbside pickup, we still enjoy seeing familiar faces. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Hi All
Thank goodness we both still feel good and are continuing to prepare those same great home cooked flavors you enjoyed in My Kitchen. Meals may be picked up on Thursday and Friday but will eventually extend to Saturday pickup, if done earlier in the day. The meals are fresh and are refrigerator stable for 2-3 days or you can split the portions and freeze.
This is the option most of our Senior Customers are opting for, as it minimizes their outside contact.

Feel free to ask for an item, if not listed. We may still be able to prepare.

Easter is going to look so different this year. Family gatherings will be small, just the immediate people in the house. We have to be thankful that this is happening in a time where we have Technology, so we don’t feel Socially Isolated while we are practicing Social Distancing.
*
Thankful that we can Zoom, Skype, FaceTime and WhatsApp Video, so we can still be “together”.
*
We had to taper our Menu a bit to make it cost effective for groups of 4 and up, which is the average immediate family size. Please reach out if you have questions on Customizing the menu.
Sincerely
Dhanny and Chef Joe
What I’ve learned:
1. That there are other people worse off than I am.
*
OK there a many more points but these stood out in my mind as I type.
*
So Chef and I are out of a job BUT we have had some amazing meals this last week. I know people who were worried that they may not even have a meal.
Chef and I are extremely worried about the future BUT there are people who need to tend to their kids, worried about their future.
*
This is such an uncertain time, so unprecedented. I think people need to internally come to terms with this fact. No excuses but even the “head honchos” really don’t know. We are having anxiety over a timeline on when it will end BUT nobody actually knows.
*
So I am here to ask you to focus on the here and now. They are asking us to stay indoors for a reason, so we don’t continue the spread. I know it is difficult because even on our worse days after 9/11 we were able to go outside, talk with our neighbors, take the kids to the movies etc.
*
THIS is different and as much as we want answers, we only have as many answers as we can give without giving you what you want to hear, then have that change within a few hours when concrete data comes in.
*
I am THANKFUL!! I am thankful for this time to be with my husband. I am thankful for this time to literally spring clean. I am thankful he is a Chef, let’s face it, I will die a big fat zombie.
*
I am SCARED of the unknown, I have 2 mortgages and Business debt. I have no idea what will happen next week, once April 1st rolls around BUT I also have no control. I am not unique, I am not alone. THIS IS EVERYONE on the Planet at this time. For once, I can safely say that the color of my skin or my gender sees no barrier.
*
We are all in this Together. I foresee a very long road, so hang in there. It has to get better because the opposite is that we all get sick and die. Then guess what, I won’t have bills to pay.
*
SO read that book you always wanted to. Make YouTube your friend and learn to paint or draw. Learn a crochet O_o. Organize your 30,000 photos on your phone. Clean you closet. Once this is all over, you can donate to a Homeless Shelter. MAKE USE OF THIS TIME you’ve always wanted.
*
Just please don’t be selfish and feel that you need to be out and about. Don’t be that guy/gal who spreads this disease

Thanks for reading

With so many Events in limbo, I thought I’d reach out and let you know where we stand.
It has been a crazy week in the event industry. It has been a difficult time for all my clients and Vendors as we all scramble to figure out how to handle these situations.
*
While Chef and I are keeping our distance and following the guidelines of the CDC and New York State, I wanted you to know that we are still working for you. I may be reached via phone or email and I am willing to jump on FaceTime to speak with you.
*
We are postponing events to a later date, as the Calendar moves forward. I am hoping this quickly passes for the sake of us all but our small business, along with many others, are taking a massive hit.
*
Free “Unsave The Date” Graphic, thanks to ThePapermintPress.com They also have a customizable template.
*
Even though we have not had Events, Chef and I are being proactive with keeping our beautiful space clean. Since we have no timeline, we leave it up to you to make that decision when you feel the time is right. We will be ready to begin service as soon as we get the go ahead.
*
*
WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!

Hey There
Hoping everyone is trying their best to Self-Distance. I actually like the term, it seems to lessen the blow that indeed you are becoming isolated. I scroll through Instagram and see Business after Business in my Industry trying to keep positive in their posts, I know they’re not okay, because I’m not.
In fact, it is quite the opposite. Today I’ve made the decision to email my April Clients to just let them know that we would love to host them and while Chef and I are doing all we can to stay healthy, it doesn’t look like there might be a lift on the ban of gatherings. Why even hold on in this time of unknown, when we can just begin to look forward.
I’ve already moved some events to July. So hopefully I can get other Clients to move their dates. After surviving this Virus Situation and believe me, we will, it will be a time to celebrate. Celebrate that Baby that was born during quarantine, celebrate that wedding proposal during quarantine, celebrate your Dad’s 75th Birthday because guess what, we survived. Weddings Couples are a special bunch but here’s my advice: I know that for some of you this is literally the biggest day of your life (I remember the biggest day of my life was cutting my Crystal Gayle length hair without the approval of my parents) O_o *flashback sorry; i’m back..
Weddings are supposed to mean that you have made a decision to be with one person through thick and thin. You can still get married, enjoy that person. Think of all the fun you can have in quarantine LOL. The Wedding Reception does not define that Union. The Reception was meant to have everyone around you celebrate YOU as a Couple. This can occur months after. Just think about it. Don’t stress because you need to cancel your Wedding RECEPTION.
I am married to my Best Friend, My Strength and Support, My Drinking Partner and my Personal Chef *wink*
I know (I hope) my fellow Industry Members are allowing you to change your date. I don’t even think “allow” is the right term, we are helping you move forward. We are all in this together (says my inner Sharpay voice). We are not trying to cheat you, we are not being heartless, in fact, we are beseeching you to be understanding in our own silent way.
Oh My! I can talk on and on. Forgot that my original post idea was going to be a bit more sombre, talking about me not having Events in April either, hence no income BUT I have no control over this. My biggest hurdle right now is figuring out money and to be honest, if my landlord or my vendors don’t understand that I just don’t have it, then it’s on them.
I am trying to keep sane. Just happy that I have a reason to begin writing again.
Thanks for reading
Sincerely
Me
Got word last night that All Restaurants and Bars have been advised to mandatory close our doors as of today. OH MY!! I totally get it and I have faith that hopefully this will help contain this Virus or at least slow down the spread.
Instead of dwelling on the unknown, Chef and I will try to utilize our extra time working on projects at home. I must say that I couldn’t have chosen a better partner to be quarantined with, Chef is presently making us a Keto Breakfast Pizza, as I type this BlogPost, so life isn’t too bad yet.
We made a food care package for one of our elderly neighbors and I dropped that off to him this morning. He was very thankful. Although funny story, I rang his doorbell and he said “Who is there? Get away from here!” O_o.. turns out he was talking to his cat LOL..
We plan to do some serious Spring Cleaning today, I type, as I stare at this large mounted Wahoo on my wall. Do you think I can finally get rid of this? One can only hope.
We will babysit Chef GrandBaby tonight so that his mom and dad can go out and do UberEats to make money. YES, the impact is very personal at this point. This will give us extra bonding time with the little guy, so again, we are counting our blessings.
All while washing out hands frequently and trying to do all that is required to keep us safe.
Stay well, maybe I’ll have Chef adventures to report tomorrow. OH do you think I can convince him to start a YouTube Channel. HAHA! Probably not, as no one will want to watch Captain CHEF Underpants. LOL!
Hugs
Me
