My real dream is owning my own tea room, but I'm starting small - I hope to be able to legally bake from my home kitchen and sell to the public - that is the idea behind AB1616 [Assembly Bill 1616]. This bill, which will be law in January, allows Cottage Food - non perishable, to be made in private homes and sold to the public. I was hoping to be able to have an actual tea room in my home, but after re-reading the bill, it seems I was a little too optimistic, 'legalese' has always hard for me to translate. So, even though at first I was crestfallen, I have decided to carry on undeterred. So, I will be placing a call to the Dept. of Health tomorrow for clarification and to apply for a license.
At any rate, I hope you will follow me on this journey toward my ultimate dream of owning my own tea room, as I'm sure it will be fraught with pitfalls and elation, but end happily - I'm choosing to be optimistic there. Please, follow along as I go through this exciting time, and maybe the process won't be as arduous as I imagine it might be - one can only hope!
