Sorry for the numerous spelling and grammatical errors in the newsletter I sent out last night. Maybe I shouldn’t proof read it at 10:00 pm…

Hey Everyone,
While baking today, we decided to give a new flavor a whirl. We had previously made this bar a couple months ago, but it hasn’t really been tested.
The bar contains Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, sun-dried tomatoes, and diced pepperoni. Basically, it is a savory bar of sorts. We have come up with a couple of naming options like the Italiano bar and the Pizza bar.
Do you have any ideas? Leave a comment below!

I recently saw a clip on the Channel 3 news about the restaurant scene in Burlington, VT. They mentioned that food service is responsible for 10% of the job-force in Burlington, and account for $5.5 million in tourist dollars each year.
This amazes me, but at the same time it doesn’t. The man interviewed went on to mention how the culinary scene in Burlington has a higher bar than other “urban” hubs because of recent New England Culinary Institute graduates opening up restaurants with incredible food. It is like we, as Vermonters, expect more from local eateries, and we most certainly get it.
There are over 90 places to eat in Burlington, and I haven’t been to all of them, but I have sure been to my fair share. I love local food. It is incredible. I would rather support a locally owned restaurant than some friggin’ huge chain, frankly because the food is different and a lot of the time better for you, with local ingredients and local restauranteurs running the place.
So, get out of your house, and go enjoy some of the many places to eat in Burlington. Don’t live near Burlington, VT? I am sure there is a great town full of places to eat and shop…although, I don’t think anything beats Church Street and the Waterfront.
Have fun! I’m going to the Chew Chew Fest tomorrow! WOOHOO!

Deadlines are constantly popping up everywhere: in business, in life, and in school. It is important to deal with your deadlines in a timely fashion. If you’re in a bike race, you have a deadline to finish–you can’t spend twenty-four hours finishing a five mile bike race, can you? Well–maybe you can, but I am sure you would have some mad people waiting for you at the finish line.
Mad people. I don’t like mad people, and I am sure you’re the same. Get things done on time, and you have happy people. Get things done late, and you have mad people. We don’t want the last one. Do whatever it takes to get the assignment/project done on time, or even earlier, then you have time to go outside and play. I know everyone is truly excited about that!
In order to get things done before the deadline, you need to be able to manage your time effectively. If your summer reading is going to take you the entire summer, then start it now, rather than cramming it into the night before the bell rings at school. Need to get a delivery over to a store before noon. Sacrifice, and wake up early. You could even give yourself breakfast out (a healthy breakfast, mind you).
Rewarding yourself for accomplishing things on time is important, and to be on time, you need to manage your time. Go ahead, put up that giant calendar in the kitchen of everything you have to do. Make sure it is dry erase, so you feel better every time you erase something of your calendar.
I meet my deadlines all the time, and go above and beyond what I need to do to be on time. Some may call it goofy, but that’s what an entrepreneur has got to do.
Oh, don’t forget to schedule in FUN!

Cruising through the local paper this morning. I was actually reading yesterday’s paper today, but I found an article on what you should look for in an energy bar, and I believe that Eddie’s Energy Bars pass the test with flying colors. Here is the little excerpt here. This excerpt was only in the paper, and not online.
I just want to point a few things. Most of our bars do contain dried fruit, oats, soy flour, chocolate chips, and brown sugar. This, together with some other ingredients does form a short ingredient list that is easy to pronounce. That’s what I was going for when creating this bar.
Our bars do not contain any chemicals, preservatives, or corn syrups. We also do not hide the truth–our bars are all less than 300 calories, but still have the same great taste you would find in such food.
Sure, options do include Luna bars, Clif bars, and others, but give the small Vermont guy a chance. Order some Vermont homemade energy bars today!
