Antoinette's New Venture (Photostory)

For those of you who aren't familiar with Antoinette, she has been the resident chef here in Morristown.  The last few years have been spent cooking on television shows.  It was very time-consuming, which is partly why we didn't get to see much of this family. 

"Hello, guys.  Welcome to my new bakery.  It's still a work-in-progress, but coming along pretty nicely.   I don't have an official name, yet. but I will by the time we open the doors.  Recently I made the decision to open this bakery to have more control over my schedule and my life.  With my kids getting older, it's important for me to be in their lives more, not less."  (Antoinette)

"Sad to say, I think I made the bakery a little too small.  It seemed much larger before we put all the fixtures in place.  We will make the most of it."  (Antoinette)

"Do you guys remember my youngest daughter, Zahara?  She's my tag-along today.  She's sitting at the eat-in counter.  I didn't want a ton of eat in space, so I think that's perfect.  Zahara, can you say hello?"  (Antoinette) 

"Hi."  (Zahara)

"That's probably all we are going to get.  Santa brought her a tablet for Christmas.  I'm really starting to question that decision.  Let's get back to the tour."  (Antoinette)

"The touch screen cash register is sitting on top of a shelving unit that will hold some retail items."  (Antoinette)

"On the back wall is another shelf.  The coffee station will sit on top.  I'm not sure what will be on the other shelves, but extra storage is always nice to have."  (Antoinette)

"The daily baked goods will be kept in this bakery case.  I can't wait to fill it up with all kinds of goodies."  (Antoinette)

"The recessed area on the back wall, with the clear shelves is just something I designed to add a little more interest to the decor."  (Antoinette)

"Finally, this shelving unit with the baskets will keep the daily baked bread.  Mmmm, I can almost smell it."  (Antoinette) 

"That concludes the tour for now.  The plan is to hire at least three part-time workers to run the front of the store.  I will do all the baking for now.  As the business expands, I will provide internships to aspiring bakers.  I already hired one of the workers.  I invited her here today so you could meet her."  (Antoinette)

"Come on out."  (Antoinette)

"This is Caia (ka-ya).  I was really impressed with her during the interview and hired her on the spot.  I really think you are going to like her."  (Antoinette)

"Hello everyone.  I'm looking forward to meeting you.  Make sure you stop in to say hello as soon as we open."  (Caia)

"Well, guys.  That's it for now.  I look forward to seeing you back here in a few weeks when we open the doors.  Ciao for now!"  (Antoinette)
