Thanks Eeyore,
When I did an engagment party I did it out of my "galley" kitchen. A 16" tray of of cookies for a party of about 85. I think if I had use of a commercial sized kitchen I would amaze myself! Nobody believed I did all that in my little kitchen. I was told by the woman I did it for that many of her guests said my cookies were better than the caterers' she tasted from. She really made my day

I was told by a restauarant/pizzeria owner that I could get into trouble doing it at home and advised me not to anymore. Where we are, Long Island NY, you need a DBA to even think of getting started. And that intales use of a commercial kitchen. I thank you for your input. I guess I have something to think about. I wonder if anyone every turned a rental into a real postion in the same restaurant? Hmm---- another thought.....
