I'll stop just for a minute...

I spent the afternoon at Cash 'N Carry in Nashville. I have been checking out foodservice suppliers as a possible sales opportunity. After all, I did work for one years ago.
Having a great time perusing the aisles with the #10 cans of fruits and vegetables, the large bags of frozen foods, and paper goods, I purchased a large bag of chocolate chips and a bag of frozen bread dough.
On the way home I was feeling like I would like to see a friend or two so I stopped in at the local Panera, an office to so many people. I spotted my friend, Carlos, who I had not seen for so long. We hugged, grabbed a cup of coffee, and sank in the comfy chairs to catch up on life.
After an hour I hopped back in my steamy car to head home, only to look at the passenger seat and see my bag of chocolate chips that had turned into one big chocolate chip. Then I looked at the bread dough that had risen in the plastic bag, and saw that it was ready to bust out of the bag.
I sat in the car and started to laugh. I had only bought two items and they had either melted or risen. I guess when the temp is 97 degrees, nothing is going to stay in its original state.
I could not wait to call my sister, Joann, and share my mishap with her. This was just one of those things that ended up just being a good story.
