*Dusts his hands off as he climbs down from the ladder. Having just put the finishing touches on the sign above the door, Jeremy steps inside and double checks that everything is ready. Satisfied he flips his sign over to open, makes sure the Help Wanted sign is in the window, and moves behind the low counter top and bar that separates the kitchen area from the dining area. He looks out over his ten tables and smiles.* Not quite the bbq blues joint I wanted but this fits the time period a bit more. Guess this means I'm "in character" now. *On a chalk board near the door the following is hand written.* - Garlic rack of lamb with rosemary potatoes and lemon pepper asparagus
- Blackened Salmon with blue cheese alfredo and grilled artichoke hearts
- Buttery pork chops with baked mushroom rice and baby spinach salad with grilled tomato dressing

"I never thought I'd see the day..."
*Brandi stepped over the threshold with a grin.*
"Nice place...like the name. How've you been?"
*She eyed the menu.*
"Might have to try one of everything."

*Grins and spins a pan around in his hand before setting it down. *
"Was wondering how long it'd take for you to show up."
*Stepping into the dining area he scoops her up in a hug.*

*Brandi grinned and returned the embrace.*
"Yeah, sorry it took me so long. Things have been crazy today."
*She peered over him towards the kitchen.*
"So...what'cha working on? Need an extra set of hands?"

"Nothing really at the moment but you know your hands are always welcome in my kitchen."
*Winks and walks with her into the kitchen area*
"What do you think? I left it with only the half wall because I thought the patrons would like to see their food being made. Kind of a cooking show feel to it."

*Brandi smiled and nodded.*
"Yeah...I kinda assumed you couldn't resist. But I like it. A lot. Way better than the layout over at the Mors."
*She started digging around and looking at all the neat stuff in the kitchen.*

"You know me... all that measuring and following the directions. Weirds me out. Though I really should learn one day. Maybe some day test my theory of, "the way to a woman's heart is through her sweet tooth."
*A dimpled grin spreads as he pulls vanilla extract up onto the counter.*
"So whatcha makin?"

You do make it difficult...don't you?
*Brandi sighed and picked up the bottle. She looked at the menu again.*
"Nothing red...that's good. Means we can go heavy."
*She was lost in thought for a moment, but looked back in the middle.*
"How many options you want?"

"As many as you'd like. I'll whip you up some samples so you know what you're working with."
*Starts moving around the kitchen, grabbing pots and various ingredients.*
"Liquor is one cabinet over, wine is in the cellar. If you need it for anything."

*Brandi's dimples started to to show.*
"Just like old times, eh?"
*She pulled out a big book of desserts that connected her to allrecipescom..*
"I'll see what I can find. But same rule still stands. No talking to the food if it's still alive. You doing shrimp or crawfish, I'll find something else to do until they're in the pot. Deal?"

"Aww you take all most some of my fun. But deal. I'll be good."
*Tosses the salmon into a pan with plenty of butter after seasoning it*
"Had some lamb and some pork cooking when you came in since it takes the longest. They should all be done about the same time."
*Starts on the sides after checking on the meats and enjoying the smells coming from the oven*

((Now I'm hungry.))
*Brandi smiled and dug through the book.*
"That's one thing I'm still working on, I suck at timing out things together. Guess I'll get in some practice."
*She looked over her shoulder to him.*
"You ain't running this by yourself, are you?"

((Hazard of us hanging out if I remember correctly))
"I am for now. Another reason I made the open kitchen."
*Samples a bit of the alfredo sauce and adds more pepper*
"Makes it easier to get the food out and see what's going on. and check out the tragically beautiful Sues"
