ISO Catering Chef

Q & A with Andrea Cabot, Owner of Taste & See Catering

Catering

Anna Christine Boulier: Thank you, Andrea, for inviting me to your lovely home.

Andrea Cabot: Thank you, Anna Christine. It’s always nice to hear. My sons get on to me about buying this big place for just me, but I have plans which this home will make it possible.

ACB: The catering business you’ve started?

AC: *Chuckling. Yes, I wanted to be able to cook out of my home and eventually have events on-site. This place gives me the opportunity.

ACB: *Looks out the large kitchen windows to the big yard outside. There is an old barn just past a renovated carriage house. It has a lot of land, too, not just the big two-story house.

Talk with a Dental Hygienist & Mom

Dental HygienistQ & A: Laura Flowers

Thank you for joining me on your lunch break, Laura. Anna Christine Boulier looks up from her hot chocolate to smile at her friend, wearing scrubs because she’s on a break from her job as a dental hygienist.

*Laura Flowers, young, single mom of adorable fifth-grader, slides into a seat at the local coffee shop in Cartersville.

LF: It’s been forever since we chatted. I was happy for the excuse to grab a cup of something decadent. With a growing boy, I don’t splurge very often. *She’s clutching a small cup of a Frappuccino that looks delicious.

ACB: What do you splurge on then?

LF: Bath stuff, salts, scrubs, candles, anything to make the lovely master bath in my home feel a little like a spa after a long day at work.

ACB: I know you have a career as a dental hygienist. Have you always wanted a career in dentistry?

LF: *Laughs at me. Don’t make that face. I know your opinion of my profession as a dental hygienist.

Bubble Bath Relaxation

Laura Flower’s Playlist

Bubble bath

 As a single mom, raising a fast-growing boy, Laura cherishes her bubble bath time late in the evenings when Brian is in bed and she can wash away her troubles and worries. Money is always tight, time is a luxury, but she can start the tub while she’s finishing up some chore and then can soak in the tub for thirty minutes before she goes to bed.

It’s not expensive to pick up some specialty soaps or bath salts, a little indulgence that takes nothing away from her son’s needs.

Sinking down into the bubbles, sometimes she lights a candle, and with only the tips of her purple toes poking up from the water, she listens to music.
