“Let’s hope those flyers helped,” she said cheerfully. “We could use some new business.” Last week, we’d handed out flyers and coupons for our new Handheld Dessert Menu around town, and we hoped we’d made a splash. The menu items included everything from caramel cake pops to tiny jars of mini-desserts like key lime pie and bourbon-pecan rice pudding. The mini-desserts were Ali’s idea, and I was sure they’d be a hit. Each mini-dessert was served in a baby food jar decorated with a swatch of gingham. Customers could grab a plastic spoon and be on their way, exploring the city. We have tables and chairs at Oldies But Goodies, both indoors and on the patio, but the handheld desserts seemed to strike a chord with tourists. They were eager to buy a quick snack and be off, exploring the beauty of Savannah. I watched Ali’s face crumble as she sat with the phone clasped to her ear, shaking her head and taking notes. When she finally hung up, I pulled out one of the ladder-back kitchen chairs and sat down across from her.
