Burittos and Pubs.....

Must mention the Burritos that my lovely lady made last night, absolutely out of this world.

Over the last two days we've made our own Steak Burritos which we're good but I forgot the rice then last night we had Carnitas Burittos (Slow cooked Pork) and this time the rice wasn't forgotten and they were superb.

Still got loads of Pork, Guacamole, Pico de Gallo etc etc left so I'm guessing it's Burritos for tea for the third night in a row and I'm in no way complaining. That'll leave Chicken Burritos for Friday :-)

These guys will definitely be on the bar menu when we eventually get our pub.

On that front we had a meeting yesterday with a business advisor who managed to pursued us that one of the places we were looking at should no longer be considered as an option. He was just telling us what we really knew already but it was nice to have our concerns justified by somebody with the relevant expertise to do so.

The second option, which only came about 3 days ago is much more viable and so much better for what we have in mind. Granted it needs a bit of renovation but not much more than some modernising with a lick of paint and some other cosmetic things.

Of course we've not been able to look upstairs, down the cellar or in the kitchen but the current tenant is very keen to move on as he's no longer got the energy or the interest in it any more, which in itself is a much better situation to be taking over from rather than the way it was with the first one. Regardless of who we are and whoever we might introduce back into the place it's tarnished reputation will take at least 3 years to lose and that is just about the perfect about of time in which a first pub can fail.

Still getting lots of support and encouragement from friends and family especially from the folks down at the Duke of Wellington pub who re-informed me of the availability of the newest option, lots of similarities between us and them with regard to getting our first pub, some quite spookily similar.

However this I think will require us to look quite seriously at available finances because it will not be as cheap as the first one to get in so we may have to look for outside backing or a very helpful bank............given the state of things in the world today I'm pretty sure we'll be pitching a business plan to silent partners.

Mind you I did get the email from the Nigerian prince who wanted to transfer $7 squillion dollars into my bank account................
