HAVE A LAUGH!
DONUT DAYS ARE HERE TO STAY! Inside Our Firm’s Sweetest Tradition When Melissa started Emery Law Office years ago, the firm had a shoestring budget. We couldn’t afford pricey perks like 401(k)s. “Benefits'' included the option to wear jeans to work and leave at 4 p.m. on Fridays. However, one thing that did fit the budget was a dozen donuts from a local donut shop. A new firm tradition was born when Melissa stopped to pick up the treats on a whim one day. Donut Days have been an Emery Law Office staple ever since. The ritual started with that first dozen donuts from Melissa. Then, a few weeks later, an associate brought another big white box. After that, Melissa fueled months of Donut Days when she bought Krispy Kreme coupons from a client fundraising for her husband’s organ transplant. The donuts kept finding their way to us, and now, they help hold us together! Nothing cheers up the team more than a batch of glazed donuts, long johns, and donut holes from Jeff’s Donuts down the street from our office. We always turn their deep-fried arrival into a celebration. The team gathers in the conference room, sinks into our plush velvet chairs, and raises a maple bar together. We use donuts to celebrate new hires (on their first day, we ask, “What is your favorite type of donut?”) and send employees off to new opportunities in style. Most of all, we buy them “just because.” A Boston cream can turn an ordinary Tuesday into something special. Every family has its traditions — and they’re not always as “normal” as making hot chocolate on Christmas Eve or lighting fireworks on Fourth of July. One family Melissa knows created their very own holiday! The entire family skips work or school to spend quality time together. Pretty cool, right? Donut Days is our version of that special day. It's a little strange, but it's ours, and we wouldn't have it any other way. If you haven’t tried Jeff’s Donuts yet, take some time this month to give them a shot!

DIRECTIONS
WE WANT YOU TO THINK OF US AS YOUR LAW FIRM. If you have a legal matter that needs attention, let us know. If we can’t handle the matter, we will refer you to a firm that can. Please feel free to refer us to your friends and family for their legal needs. We welcome the opportunity to help. Chia Seed Jam We suggest making the chia seed jam in advance and storing it in the refrigerator so you can quickly assemble these yogurt bowls all week. Using a potato masher, mash down the cherries. Place a small pot on high heat and add the cherries, chia seeds, honey, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn down the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Allow jam to cool before using or refrigerate. Greek Yogurt Bowls In a small serving bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with vanilla extract. Top the Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp cherry chia seed jam, hemp seeds, granola, and a few additional Chelan fresh sweet cherries, if desired.
