Pictures of the Pier

Hi all! I took my camera to work tonight, and got some photos of the Pier for you. Hope you enjoy them! We like to work hard...

N. and J., working hard:


So what do you start with when building that perfect ice cream cone? The cone! We make our own at the Pier - but I don't really know how to. Hence, N. is making them in this photo:


Where do we keep them? In the cupboard! I'm mortally afraid of this cupboard. Each cone costs $0.40 to produce, and I'm terrified I'll open it and they'll alllllllll come rolling out.


What comes next? Ice cream! We have two freezers full, plus an additonal freezer for the frozen yogurt ingredients (not pictured here).

We have: (clockwise from top left): cotton candy (so delish), vanilla, orange creme, Kit-Kat, chocolate chip cookie dough, Rolo with peanut butter, New York cherry cheesecake and Triple Brownie Delight.


We also have: Smarties, rum and raisin, chocolate, maple walnut, Rolo, butterscotch ripple, raspberry gelato (nothing like European gelato), and a peek of the tiger tiger (orange with black licorice - say it with me people: "eww")

Finally we have: the edge of the chocolate, chocolate espresso flake, boo boo bubble (eeew), black cherry , mint chocolate chip, tiger tiger, cookies and cream (oreos in vanilla ice cream) and strawberry. Enough choices for you?


All of the intensive scooping and making of wraps and brewing of coffee leads to dishes. Lots of them. Poor J. kept doing them all night long.

See how it's sunny here?


And pitch dark here? Uh huh. Poor girl.

We get some spectacular views where I work.

Out the front window (I hope to get one of a sunset one of these days, but we're usually pretty busy at that time - darn!)


Out of the back window:


Out the side window as a cruise ship cruised by:


One final question: Why is it hot in an ice cream shop?

Answer: Because we have TWO (usually three) waffle irons, TWO deep fryers, and a radio full of hot, hot music - all in one small space:

Love y'all. Hope you liked the tour!

    Thanks for the tour, I really liked it :) It's nice to see what people's workplaces look like. I'm going to bring a camera to the Costume Dept. so everyone can see.
