We custom cut paper to line chocolate boxes because we don’t want to use those awful plastic trays to keep everything tidy. Those trays!! I can’t even. What I like about building your ethics right into your business is that those trays were never an option for us. OMG and the complaints we’d get from you folks about the waste—yeow. But cutting the paper takes so much time, so this fall our manager Jenn spent many hours researching companies to cut some paper for us. Projects always seem easy from the outside, but of course everything’s always a whole thing. For a second this shop became The Office, Jenn making calls about thickness and foldability. She finally found eco paper the perfect shade to match the boxes and during the busiest part of the day today it arrived on a pallet and the lift gate on the truck was broken so we all unloaded all this paper. Everyone outside with their coats on holding box cutters. Teamwork, dreamwork. The first time I got something on a pallet I felt overwhelmed with excitement at how big we were, but that was years ago and now it’s just stress about where to put it all. After work pretty much everyone went to @llcommissary to get #GRRamen. I hung out at the shop and rearranged things, I’d gotten ramen earlier, Maresa and I walked over. First #rammissary I haven’t made. Weird to eat it sitting down. Guest chefs G and Rachel invented vegan #narutomaki for it, knocked the whole thing out of the park. Sometimes things feel sort of alarmingly good around here. #thedecemberdiaries day 11 (at Lagusta's Luscious Commissary) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRk6Bbj9Id/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zsumefos88e1
