That’s when you know your 8 inch mini Trader Joe’s Pizza is done. [And because it takes exactly 7 minutes or so to cook, you can add a slew of vegetables on the George Forman grill at 400 degrees for 7 minutes and it will act as your timer.]
I admire that kind of simple direction: when the cheese bubbles, the pizza is ready.
Several years ago I had a wonderful yoga client who had several social connections to me and so although I was focused on the yoga in our sessions, occasionally it got “personal” re: our social lives.
He was a great guy –– VERY business focused and VERY tight physically –– and when I randomly said one December, “Yeah, I have to go Christmas shopping for new boyfriend X –– I just don’t know how much I should spend on a gift for someone I’ve been dating since July, and it’s sorta like we’re pretty much a couple, but it’s not truly defined or exclusive.”
Without missing a beat he replied, “A minimum of $75 up to $150….and if it lasts until Valentine’s Day, $200.”
Somehow, I’d tapped his sweet-spot: he knew exactly how much I should spend in any social situation.
Today/tonight/tomorrow, I have to finalize prizes for the canvases for the Cavallo show –- they were hung last Thursday/Friday –– and I am confused. I know what I’ve received before (in NYC) and I also have to factor in the gallery percentage and the right price point for the venue (a five star resort).
I don’t want to overprice and not sell anything, and at the same time, don’t want to price things so low that I’m undercutting (and demoralizing) myself.
Oh, dear Yoga Client and/or person who writes the pizza cooking instructions for Trader Joe’s … where are you now that I need your clear advise?
