My wife and I have started down a new road! We are starting our own catering business.. The main part of the business will be to supply a friends coffee shop with baked goods. We have tested so many recipes inthe last 3 weeks..but it has been fun.<br> What I need is where we can get some of our product in bulk!<br><br> We need:<br> Walnuts<br> Pecans<br> Oh yes.. Vanilla from Mexico..the stuff with the <br> cork in the bottle..(NO Worms).. :-)<br><br> My son is now designing our website..and yes there may be a time that we will do mail order..<br> Any information that you have would be greatly appreciated..<br><br> Thanks<br> Rick

Hey rharveysr,<br><br>Im afraid I cant help you gather your resouces, but I did want to wish you the very best of luck.<br>I think many of us have thought about striking out on our own and startup our own companies. <br>I know I have had these thoughts more than once.<br><br>Good luck and best wishes to you!<br><br>Rich
