When you're in the specialty foods business, there are some particular milestones and achievements that not only bring you more exposure (and yes, revenue), but also work as an affirmation that you're making progress. This week, I just speared a white whale. (that's a figurative expression and I would never kill a whale) Bobbie's Boat Sauce is currently in 8 of 10 Central Market Stores from San Antonio to Houston.

She's been a perennial reference to memories, recipes and anecdotes that I have been sharing in these posts, and I'm grieved to write that I lost her very recently, and very suddenly.
