The Most Important Paperwork

By the end of March 2013, I had all of the Mad Munch supplies loaded up into the back of my truck.  Thanks to my dad who gave me his topper/camper shell from his old Chevy S-10, I was able to store everything in there.  I bought a chain & padlock at OB Hardware to keep it locked up behind our apartment's alley parking spot.  

On one of my days off from the Best Western, I drove back to the Health Department & wrote them a check for $497 to secure my TFF (Temporary Food Facility) permit for one year.  That enabled me to set up my tent pretty much anywhere in San Diego county & serve food.  

The same day, I drove over to Mira Mesa & Shared Kitchen Rentals.  They had the best monthly rates when I shopped around online & would fulfill my need for a Commissary Kitchen.  There I signed an agreement letter & a check for April's rent ($150).         

Now, I was ready to serve my Cheezers in the eyes of the law, but I still needed to reserve a space for my grill & tent at some weekly farmers markets to start making some money.
