Branding

Today I am making a cucumber gazpacho, a loaf of bread, some salad dressing...i think that is about it. I need to start spreading out and getting some more clients, which means I need to start marketing myself. I have been on the practice course for a few weeks and am ready to move onto the main course, so to speak. This involves working on some business cards, actually coming up with a name, making a full website...all exciting things, right?

So I need some help with names. When I was thinking of starting a pie business, I was going to name it "Pi" and use the symbol, which I am sure has been used, because there is no way that I am the first person to think of that. But now I am doing a much wider range of things, so I am not sure if just the word Pi would be a good choice. My FAVORITE word in the world is Tangerine. I just love the way it sounds. Say it with me, tangerine. Taaan-jah-reeeeeeeeen. Awesome sauce, right? So things that fly around my head are things like Tangerine Pi, but that might still be too niche sounding, right? Maybe not. Tangerine. Maybe just Tangerine?

Things I don't want in the name: Alexandria (where I live), Modern, Cuisine, Simple, Fancy, Upscale, Home, Cook...and probably a gazillion more.

The name is the first thing I need, right? Once that happens, the rest kind of falls into place and follows. Cards, site, marketing...

So throw me some random words, my peeps!

Food Being Made This Week

Here is what I am cooking for people this week:

Italian Meatloaf (I have a feeling this will be popular)
Roasted Veggies (We will see what looks good)
Root Veggie Gratin (w/ Gruyere)
Something with Couscous, haven't decided yet.
Some Key Lime Pies

I also need to get a brisket to cure, since I want to make my own Corned Beef for St. Patrick's day. Mmmmm, corned beef.
