buy cake gourmet

I'm in Burbank frequently and often find myself very preoccupied with finding a good lunch place. I've exhausted all the places on San Fernando near the Burbank Media Center and usually I just want a good sandwich that isn't in sub form (although Santoro's Italian Cold Cut is a favorite) or isn't something from Porto's (again, another frequently visited spot). Across from Porto's I've found what seems to be an anomaly in Burbank: a minimalist gourmet café called Urban Eats.

I also really like the fact that you can design your own salad, choosing from a pretty ample list of “choppings" and cheeses.

The silent salesperson

That advice was among those covered by Casey Wilson, retail industry manager for the Maryland Small Business Development Center, in a presentation at the Cultural Arts Center. It was part of a series of "sunrise seminars" Wilson has held around the state.

Retail is a challenging field, said Wilson, who has owned and operated shoe stores, optical shops and has been in corporate management.

"We used to say in the District (of Columbia): six months to get a shop started; six months for people to get to know it; and six months for it to die before the site was re-leased," he said.

Like those shops in the nation's capital, main-street stores have many hurdles, he said.

"You have the charm of the historic area, a retro look, people can actually talk to the owner of the store -- something they can't do at a big business," Wilson said.

Parent: Charged daycare worker 'a little weird'

"I always found him a little bit childish, weird and for the longest time I didn't say anything to him," said a father of three, who attended Ontario Court of Justice at College Park yesterday.

Paul Thomas, 19, was a fixture at the downtown Blevins Child Care Centre with 50-plus children under the age of 7 in his care.

"My first impression of him wasn't good. Everyone else there was friendly to me, but he wasn't," the man said. "He was hugging my son, so I thought I should talk to him. Naturally, as a parent, I'm concerned and I want details."

"I just thought he was a little weird," added a woman, who has since removed her children from the daycare. "He spoke like a child. He sounded like a 5-year-old." .

Hosting a candidate is no easy task

So, youre thinking about hosting a house party for a presidential candidate. Its probably both easier and more difficult than you might imagine. My wife and I have played host to candidates on a number of occasions, and over time, the process has more or less settled into a routine.
Should you use your finest china and silverware to impress the presidential contender and his supporters? Definitely not. Politicians are accustomed to the rubber chicken circuit; that is, low-priced (and low taste) meals designed to produce a profit for the sponsoring organization. They are there to win converts, not to be served a gourmet meal. Your friends will generally help out by bringing food. Informality is usually the order of the day paper plates, paper cups, paper napkins, and plastic knives, forks and spoons.

Mom closes her business in favor of her daughter

When Ellen Zusman opened ImaginEats 18 months ago, she saw plenty of opportunity but missed the unavoidable irony of her new business. It turned out that the more time she spent catering to rushed parents, the harder it became to manage her own life.

Zusman said since ImaginEats was close to becoming profitable, she does not plan to abandon the concept.
