Fair Bread

Well...as far as my list goes for the weekend....not much got accomplished on it! We got a late start on painting the house b/c when we went over at 9am to start....it was wet! It dewed in MT! Which is a little out of the ordinary. So we did not start until 11 or 12. So needless to say we did not get as much accomplished as we had wanted especially since I only spent about 2 hours over there b/c I was busy baking bread for the fair (and a birthday cake). I had high hopes of entering a carrot cake and a cheesecake...but only got two loaves of bread entered. My sourdough (above right) and my german rye (below left). Since I had some dough leftover...not enough to make a loaf...I made cute little sandwich rolls for John's lunch (below right). So....next week will be my last farmer's market for this season. I think for being new to the valley AND new to the farmer's market in general...I would have to say I am pretty happy with the results. I have one lady who orders sourdough bread on a regular basis.....one week I guess she thought that she would just buy it as opposed preordering....well we were sold out! When I told her that next week would be my last market...she was a little disappointed to say the least, so she ordered 4 loaves! But we have Apple Fest on October 4th. The last market for the season is Sept 27...so Apple Fest is sorta an extension of the the market. They are accepting donations for their raffle.....the vendors who donate will be promoted....so I figure why not?? I have to make that up today so I can drop it off before I have to leave for training. Well that's about all for now....HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!
