this
summer. I was thinking it would be a neat idea to change up our
menu and maybe have a different theme for everyday?” she asked as a
slight blush started to creep up her neck to her cheeks.
“I know many people come
here thinking we just serve meat and potatoes, but I think changing
it up a little sounds great.” Tina came over to sit by me with a
pen and paper in her hands. “I was just hoping we could worked on
this together. I have really missed you, and I could use another
girl around here. You know how your father and brother get. Anyway,
I was thinking we could do Mexican on Mondays and maybe Asian on
Tuesdays?”
Tina may be on to
something. This sounded like a great Idea. “Wednesdays we could do
Italian, and Thursdays could be Greek?” A thought occurred to me,
and I hoped we didn't make anyone upset with not having beef every
night. “Do you think people will go for this?”
“I know I was thinking the
same thing, but what if we had them fill out a little survey when
they are checking out? Maybe they could rate the food and leave any
comments. That way we could change it around and fix any issues.”
Tina sure had a great knack for this. I couldn't agree
more.
“Yes, this is such a great
idea. Now let's think what to do for Fridays. What if we do a big
outdoor bbq on Fridays and Saturdays? That way everyone will still
get their meat and potato fix. We could even do s'mores around the
campfire, like we usually do.”
“Great idea, hun. Let's
just get an idea for Sundays and we will get this plan in motion.
Also, we could give it a name like, ‘Come travel the world of food
at Blackhill Ranch,’” she said with so much enthusiasm that I
couldn't help but clap my hands and agree with a silly grin on my
face.
“Sundays hmm... Maybe we
could do American food, like waffles for breakfast, and chili
burgers for dinner? Lunch could be a weenie roast. We could do all
sorts of fun stuff! Tina, you are brilliant.” I wish Tina and my
dad would just get over this just friends things and finally give a
relationship a go. I know she has said she loves it here, and
doesn't want to mess anything up. She had a nasty relationship when
she first started working for dad and I think she dated some guy
for a while from town, but she seems much happier being single. I
get it, but she and my dad could be amazing together.
“Yes, this went faster
than I thought it was going to go. We have a great start, and I
will start working on the menu. Jot down some ideas for me as well,
and we can get a finalized plan by the end of the week. Thank you
so much, Lexi, for the help. I just know this will be a big hit.”
She smiled as she stood up and headed over to the counter. “Will
you stay and help me prepare dinner? We are having a beef stew, and
I already have it on the stove. Help me set the table and we should
be good to go.”
“I am at your service my
lady,” I curtsied and headed towards the cabinets for some bowls
when I felt a vibrate from my phone in my hand. I opened the text
and it was from Chloe.
GIRL! You better finish
what you were saying earlier. Who is this real man with a nice
chest? I can't wait to hear. Save me a piece of that!
Oh, Chloe. If she only
knew her celebrity crush was here. How do I break it to her that I
would break her legs if she went after Rhet? Or maybe that would
work out better. Then I wouldn't fall in love with my brother's
best friend.
You have no idea... Rhet
is real and Rhet is HOT! Back off blondie, because I call dibs
;)
I laughed as I started
bringing bowls and plates out to the dining hall.
Oh you dirty bitch, haha
ok fine. I am looking forward to meeting this infamous Rhet. Cole
told me a lot about him. I'm just glad he didn't turn out to be
imaginary!
I know I said the same
thing. Can't wait to see you... Xoxo
And with that I helped
Tina set up for dinner. The guests started piling in and everyone
was laughing and talking about their fun
