Market Time

The latest thing we are having fun with is selling banana ice cream waffle bowls.  It is simply frozen bananas run through a Champion Juicer.  After placing it in a waffle bowl, we add fresh strawberries, candied peanuts and chocolate sauce.  We sold out last week and made sure we would have enough this time!
 I've also been playing around with cinnamon swirl bread.  We sold out of this, too.  This week, I've made small loaves which are quite cute.  I don't have a picture of those.
 Last week, we had some leftover sourdough bread, so we bartered for some fresh salad green and some kettle corn. 
 Here's Julie, manning the ice cream station.  We're hoping for warm weather tomorrow!  Ice cream doesn't sell so well when everyone is shivering.
 Here's the new basket of pita bread ready to go.  It smells sooo good!
 JM made a good batch of cookies to sell for a little pocket cash.  Mr. Blueberry Eyes already bought one from him!
 This is the hit of the day, though, really.  This is white grape juice with lemon, strawberries and basil.  It is SO refreshing.  We keep going back to it to make sure it is still as good as we remember!  I'm thinking this will make some sales tomorrow.
 Here's another item that will make its debut tomorrow.  It is dried apricots dipped in white chocolate.  It is a perfect couple in the flavor department.
 Not a lot of sewing has happened this week.  But here is the start of an awfully cute set of coasters.
 And I just had to add this.  The Wood Artist and I had our 16th Wedding Anniversary last Saturday.  Since we were a couple of thousand miles apart, Julie laughingly said she'd take me to dinner in honor of it.  We went to a super yummy East Indian restaurant.  When we got there, these were waiting for me with a note that said, "Happy Sweet 16!  Love,  The Wood Artist", loosely quoted.

Something tells me that more quite a few people had their hand in this surprise!  The filler is foxtail that Mr. Blueberry Eyes found.  We thought it worked quite well.  - Nanette

How did it go? Was it warm enough for banana ice cream?
