Market Day!

 

I will be at the Farmer's Market today.  I will have lots of bread - Multigrain, Cornmeal and Raisin.  I have dips - feta, chipotle lime, muhamarra, white bean, artichoke and spinach,  and hummus.  I also have fresh pizza dough!  Hope to see you!

Something Old....

A great blogger, Grace, from Sense and Simplicity is in Bangladesh on a humanitarian project this summer.  She has 'graced' many of us to be guest bloggers in her absence.  Click here and find out how I met her challenge!  I look forward to all the stories upon her return.

Off to the Rodeo

 

We have a great small city rodeo.  It was voted best Canadian rodeo of 2010.  It is professional rodeo with first class stock.  The pick up riders were the best, the announcer was a pro....all around a great rodeo!  And bonus... the weather cooperated and we had a great day in the sun.  Beyond the arena there were the green fields and blue skies.  Absolute heaven on earth.

Allamande left....allamande right....I'm off to the rodeo!

 This was not fun.  The horse almost fell and the rider was caught in the stirrup.  I hope she is okay.

Last Day of School

I went to Fairview School today to make pizza with the kids.  Forgot my camera!  Silly!  This is my only picture.  Does this pizza stone not tell you we had a good time!

There were about 8 of us in the staff room.  They were mostly Grade 8's I think.  At any rate, they were very sweet.  I made Mario Batali's pizza dough recipe.  It is so nice and soft and easy to work with.  The toppings were pretty simple, but I could have only brought meat and cheese!  They are typical teenagers!

One fellow decided to make a calzone.  It formed this great bubble in the oven!  Then we had a difficult time taking it off the pizza stone.  It fell back.  But in the end, we retrieved it.  Save a bit of charred crust, it was still very tasty.

Last day of school!  Have a great summer!

Back in Business

Whatever might still be wrong with my oven, at least I can use it!  I made these lovely loaves today.  I made 5 thinking that there would be one leftover for me.  Wrong!  A Saturday customer asked if I could make one for her, too!  Of course!  These are now cooling and I can deliver tonight.

FYI.  I will be taking orders for Tuesday delivery on bread.  I will have bread at the Market on Saturday and also take orders for delivery on Tuesday.  Just pay in advance, leave me your contact info and address where I can deliver on Tuesday.

Go Confidently

This was a gift from a friend when I decided to give up my life in Calgary and move on.  She knew me well.  I have now placed this on my patio.  In fact, this inspired me to 'decorate' my patio this evening.  After an exhausting day at the Farmer's Market, I needed a little down time.  I love sitting out at night.

Candles and lights set the mood.  I had a collection of telephone insulators.  How do I explain what these are!  They were used on telephone line poles when lines were above ground.  They come in colours of whites, greens and blues.  I set out my collection and put blue lights among them.

Thank you to everyone who visited me at the Market today.  I loved visiting and soaking up all your ideas.  I can see a lot of nice friendships and cooking happening soon.

Now I just need to have a working oven!
