Together With Building Blocks Bookkeeping

Know anyone who has their own business? I’m sure you do I can think of at least 5 in less than 20 seconds. Building Blocks Bookkeeping might just be the perfect share for your friend who is trying to run everything in their business but probably needs some good help as well.

Building Blocks is a local Northland company who specializes in helping small businesses get their bookkeeping in order - which I know from experience can be a disaster if your brain just doesn’t function like that……like mine - HA.

Building Blocks Bookkeeping helps businesses as small as one person to larger businesses dealing with a number of employees. But the one thing you can expect no matter what size is great local care from a small team that understands the needs of your (or your friends) business.

Thai Orchid

Thai Orchid has been in the Johnson County for over 30 years. But they are about to open a second location in the Northland in the new Metro North Crossing development close by Third Street Social.

Here’s what we know so far. They will offer mainly the same menu as their location in Johnson County with a few additional small plates. The Metro North location will be a much bigger space for Thai Orchid

Here are some dishes you can expect to see these traditional dishes like Pad Thai, Pad Kee Mao, and various curries, but will feature several new items, as well:

  • Braised Beef Khao Soi — Northern Thai braised beef curry with egg noodles, garnished with cilantro, shallots, crispy noodles, and pickled cabbage

  • Bistro Filet Fried Rice — Garlic fried rice using beef tallow, bistro filet cut of steak on top, served with tiger cry sauce.

  • Thai BBQ Chicken — Juicy grilled chicken thigh served with a side of sticky rice and a small bowl of Isaan spicy “Jeaw” sauce

  • Tom Yum Wings — Blazing Thai hot wings with Tom Yum soup flavors

  • Honey Garlic Soy Ribs — Juicy and tender ribs glazed with honey garlic soy sauce, served with tomatoes and sliced cucumber

National Sticky Bun Day

Do you know the difference between the sticky bun and the cinnamon roll? Me either so I looked it up for us -  The main difference between sticky buns and cinnamon rolls are that sticky buns are baked in a pan with a sticky caramel sauce on the bottom, which becomes the topping when the bun is flipped over after baking, while cinnamon rolls are typically topped with a cream cheese frosting after baking, and usually don't include nuts like pecans which are often found in sticky buns.

Now - Where in the Northland can we find some??

  1. Mclains Bakery in NKC

  2. Corner Cafe - Liberty and Riverside

  4. KC Fresh - Barry Road
