Back to blogging!!!
Ohh it feel so good to back to blogging after so many months. In the last few months, so many wonderful ups and down that took much of my time and energy that I did not have time to care for my blog. During this time NYSDELIGHT turned 1 (ONE, UNO, BIR)!
I honestly do not know where to begin to fill you all in regards to these experience. A food license, a few catering events, a new accounting job, commuting into NYC, several computer crashes & data looses that would have been impossible to recover without the help of my computer genius brother. Thank you so very much for the extra space! I wonder how long that will last me?
