You've probably never heard of it, but it is another ice cream chain in Cincinnati, Ohio. They go old fashioned, French style, and all of their ice cream is hand made in 2 gallon batches. It is even hand packed! Best of all, when you eat some ice cream, you know that it was finished, at most, 4 or 5 hours ago. Even better than best of all is that, if you manage to track a truck down (they are unmarked) you can generally wheedle a two gallon tub from the driver! Delicious! I really like Graeter’s.

I would assume that your method of hiring assures that the people you get are ones that are excited about your company and working for/with you. What kind of interviewing do you do with the people you hire, or is that even necessary when you already know the person from your forums or blog? <b>Jan:</b> I'm glad I could help! <b>Pete:</b> Is that a good kind of brain freeze or a bad kind of brain freeze? ;) <b>Allison:</b> Thank you! You'll get my first book order in just a few days - if I just have the time to get the book finished... :) <b>William:</b> Thanks! I guess I said this already, but I'm happy that you're back in the blogosphere! Jason: Great to see you here!
