Stan's lunch of the week.

Stan the man is trying to start up his catering business and we have been lucky enough to be selected as the guinea pigs for his dream. He sends the lunch menu via email on Tuesdays and you reply if you want a dish.   It has been decided that Thursday is the day he will bring us the catered lunch.

Here we are Thursday morning anticipating our home cooked lunch. We know it will be excellent and hour by hour the anticipation builds. The time he scheduled to bring lunch was 1145 AM. Francesca randomly screams "Stan is here!" This causes my neck to practically snap off as I look out the window. But to no avail, Stan is not present in the parking lot.

It is now ten minutes after noon, my stomach is growling and my attention span reflects that of a gnat. Where is Stan the Man? Ms. J enters the room with an update... Stan will be here in 10 minutes. The co workers are coming out of the cracks and a small audience forms outside the window to cheer on Stan at his arrival.



At the same time the masses are converging outside, Francesca has a nervous breakdown inside from her hunger pains.  She came flailing out of her desk chair and flung herself toward the heater because she couldn't take them anymore!



We thought she was gaining some composure as she slowly started to get up.  Just then her light headedness took over and she passed out on the floor in a fit of starvation!


It was at that moment I could hear them beckon from outside the window....."Stan is here!".

I didn't believe it, I wanted to believe it, but I figured it was just Franny's conscience screaming out to us in her last moments... "Stan is here!"  It was at that moment I lifted my weary eyelids and with infinite hope peered out of the window once more.  Alas, this dark horse gallops into the parking lot and Stan dismounts drawing his shining catering tins! The crowd of peasants assist with the heavy labor (reality is they were ready to chow down).


And the almighty Stan approached the building with a hero walk all his own.




Finally the anticipation has ceased leaving a belly full of satisfaction in its place. Thank you Stan! Thank you!


The menu today was Cheese Stuffed Panko Crusted Chicken, Penne Pasta with tomato sauce, garlic bread and caesar salad.  All items are made from scratch (even the salad dressing) and delivered hot out of the oven.  If you are interested let me know and we can add you to the email list.  He also will cater events!
