This is my photo of the pile O' sausages. I think it turned out to be a great shot! I even had my graphic designer friend Stacy photoshop them into space for us so we could put them in ads and catalogs...and yes, I was just biding my time until they left the room.

CARY GOES TO GET HACCP'D

Field Roast sausage maker, Cary Davis just got back from NYC for a week of leisure...and today went off to NOAA (National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) today to get some education regarding HACCP. He is going be sitting with some seafood people to learn the famous 7 principles and how to apply them to our production plant in Georgetown Seattle. It's a 3 day class. Afterwords, he is going to teach Malcolm and I about the info and we are going to implement a "HACCP" Plan in our production facility.

HACCP stands for Hazard Analysis Critical Control - and it's all about safe food manufactering, mostly designed for animal foods but can be used for anything. Often larger customers want to review your HACCP plan before becoming your customer. We currently log all of our ingredients that go into our batches, cooking times, batch numbers and outgoing shipments....but this will promise to be more food fun...paperwork and protection.

ELLIOTT BAY CAFE

The Elliott Bay Cafe is underneath Seattle legend bookstore; The Elliott Bay Bookstore in ye olde Pioneer Square.

The have millions of books....a great food book section complete with professional books as well as for those who love to simply "be" with cookbooks.

Every night they have authors reading from their own books....downstairs next to the cafe. I once saw Mark Kurlansky their reading from his book about Salt...called Salt: A World History. He has also written an interesting book about Cod.

Thanks to Joel, Bonnie and Paul for all the biz.....below is a little snippet from their menu. They used to make a Reuban from it all but I don't think they do anymore.

Their cafe is a good place to hang out, read, play some chess and listen to an author read from their writings.

A STACK 'O SAUSAGES

This is what some of our sausages look like relaxing in our corporate board room--and unadulterated product shot. Jennie took some much better ones when we left the room. I think she was just waiting for us to leave....

How about the photos you did?
