The Cheesecake Factory’s Post

Flashback. First beautiful thing of the day: the pasta fairy has visited again last night! This is love. No grand show. No audience. Just my husband quietly making food for his family, alone, in the evening, after the four kids have gone to bed. This new passion of his is hugely appreciated. (And we love his makeshift “drying racks”.) And because I head up for my bath first in the evening, I never know what magic has been happening down in the kitchen until I wake. #Jewelry #Gemstones #Diamonds #BusinessStrategy #DigitalMarketing

To muse on as you meander through Friday afternoon: If you wanted to BLOW SOMEONE'S MIND with one item of food...what do you pick? FIVE CONDITIONS: 🐻 you are at a picnic 🧡 in Amsterdam 📅 on Thursday June 27th at 1830 PM ⚖ with fellow in-house counsel 🍷 and booze (if you want booze). (brought to you by Crafty Counsel) My answer? I'm torn between: 🥚 Scotch egg 🚜 Cheddar Ploughmans 🍪 Chocolate Digestive (which frankly should have its own emoji) 🥧 A personal pie - maybe Steak & Kidney. Or mushroom for vegans. So, why don't you today: 😋 TELL ME in the comments what you think is the ideal picnic food. 🗣 TELL EVERYONE who is in-house legal about this event by sharing it. You don't need to be a member of Crafty Counsel. 🖋 TELL YOURSELF (if you're in-house counsel) to sign up to the Crafty Counsel June 2024 SPEED-PICKNICKING event. Sign-up link in comments.

It's that magical time of year when everyone suddenly develops a passion for leprechauns, shamrocks, and questionable green beverages! St. Patrick's Day is like Christmas, but instead of goodwill and cheer, we have an excuse to push all things green and jig-worthy. ✅ Got green food coloring? Check. ✅ Stocked up on cheap beer? Double check. ✅ Overpriced novelty hats? Triple check. So, let's raise a glass (preferably filled with something that resembles a radioactive swamp) to St. Patrick's Day: the one day a year when it's socially acceptable to appropriate a culture while wearing a green tutu and singing 'Danny Boy' off-key. #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatipsandtricks #loveyourworkwedo #loveyourworkinglife

Happy National Coconut Cream Pie Day! It might seem silly to celebrate a dessert, but what if today was about more than just the pie? What if it's really about connection. My mom’s best friend Mary had a coconut cream pie recipe that could win awards. But she guarded it like a treasure—or so we thought until my sister faced a serious health scare. When Mary asked how she could help, my sister half-jokingly said, “Hand over that pie recipe!” To everyone's surprise, she did! This story slices right through to the core of great customer service: the art of knowing when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em—or in Mary's case, when to share 'em. Mary’s act of sharing wasn't just about giving away a recipe; it was about providing comfort when it was needed the most, transforming a simple transaction into a meaningful interaction. Sometimes, the best way to serve someone is to share not just your talents, but a piece of what makes you, well, you. Mary passed on over 20 years ago, yet every time my sister or I bake her pie, it’s like she’s right here with us. Each bite brings back a flood of happy memories. It's a reminder that what we share lives on, far beyond our time. So, on this pie celebration day, reflect on your own secret sauces—are you holding onto them a little too tightly? Maybe it’s time to dish out more than just the usual and sprinkle a little unexpected joy in our professional lives. #wellbeing #customerservice #nationalcoconutcreampieday #suttleshift
