So, Copper (or at least the marketing director at Copper), decided they wanted to run a special 'Valentines' package.  That's cool.  She put it together bass-ackwards... but whatever...  This is what the dinner special included:

Parmesan Twists with Marinara Dipping Sauce
Salad
Lasagna Bolognese (red meat sauce) or White Vegetable Lasagna
Dessert Brie en Croute
Bottle of Wine

Price per Couple: $50.00 

This special was/is to run on Feb 10, 11, and 14th.  

I made the 2 lasagnas on the 10th at home, brought them to work and set them up.  Got all the other items assembled and par-baked... and on the 10th... not ONE taker.


I wasn't holding out high hopes for Saturday the 11th.  Boy, was I wrong.  We had a total of 9 specials available, we sold 6.  That was cool.  Cooler yet?  People were RAVING about the food.  From the parm twists through the Brie en Croute!  The best part is... the COST of my dinner (not including wine) was a mere $9.00 per Couple... the wine cost was $5.00... So, total cost for dinner was $14.00... SOLD for $50.00!  I'd like to see them bitch about food costs NOW!!! (Which they are by the way).


So, Tuesday I will be cooking 2 more lasagnas at home and bringing them into work... once there I will get more parm twists made, and get the Brie wrapped.  We learned a couple of things last night that will be applied to Tuesday's service.  All in all, it ran really well.


Andrew worked with me last night.  He actually did his job and seemed interested in what was going on.  He didn't pop open his laptop to play chess even ONCE!!  That was nice.  He was either cooking, or doing dishes, also nice.


Well, I'm exhausted and have a LOT of housework to get done today.  I'll check back in after the Valentine's Day service and let you all know how it went.


The 20th is the 'official' member tasting... so still have THAT monkey on my back.... right now... just want to get through Valentine's Day!
