This was only tentative yesterday and I didn’t want to jinx it for her but it became official today. Somara will be the head baker, I think, for Kenny’s Coffee Company. Kenny’s business is still expanding through the catering side which where they (Alice, Kenny and probably Sarah) need her. The downside will be her moving over to third-shift hours with a near-midnight start and an early morning finish. The upside is her finally getting to bake from fresh materials (HEB is decent but it’s pre-manufactured in San Antonio) and design new desserts. I had my concerns, mainly being accused of bias since my relationship with Kenny goes back six years and Somara is my wife. Yet I knew Somara could do this. She has the skill and more importantly, the desire to succeed. You just can’t always avoid some people’s cloud of jealousy or accusations of nepotism. Alice is the head cook and if she’s excited to bring Somara aboard, then I’m convinced it won’t be a problem.
So if you have her e-mail, congratulate her. If you don’t, you can post something here. Meanwhile, I’m probably going to gain another 10 pounds from sampling all her new creations courtesy of Kenny’s restaurant-level kitchen.
Congrats Somara!!! I too am looking forward to sampling all of the new creations. Now I will have to start going to Kenny’s more often!
I’ll be doing a lot of experimenting once I get trained because they want to make some major changes to their current line. That means there will be lots to snack on during the games because I’ll have to provide samples for the owner and head cook to try… and I can’t eat much of the leftovers myself while on a diet.
After sampling one of your creations, I know you’ll do awesome.
Good luck!
