We got so caught up keeping ourselves organized that we forgot to take some pictures of our table. We do have some pictures of our prep from the night before...
Vicki and I were up into the wee wee hours of the night baking and packaging the goodies. We were all organized and ready to go this morning until we hit a bit of a snag...well a pretty big one. We had to prepare some Aromatic Hot Chocolate for sampling, so we proceeded to boil the milk with our electric hot water kettle. BIG MISTAKE. There is reason why the instructions state to ONLY use them with water. The indicator light started flashing, which we thought indicated boiling. Except there wasn't the usual rumbling sound...it was eerily silent. So we thought it would be prudent to check-in...turns out the milk burned! It scorched so badly that the pot still has a thick layer of char, even after repeated scrubbing. Take home message: Follow the manufacturer's directions!! We were able to whip up another batch and still make it to market on time. We're happy to report the rest of the day went without a hitch.We surpassed our own expectations when our Balsalmic Onion Marmalade and Salted Brown Sugar Shortbread sold out within the first 2 hours of the market! Yippee! Thanks to everyone who came out to sample our fare. We had lots of fun meeting everyone. We're even more inspired to create more yummy treats to share! Stay tuned...
Come see us next on November 20th at the Bakers Market!
Irene & Vicki
