This morning on my way to work I took a detour by the Maitland Farmer's Market to see Cathy of Cathy's Cajun Cuisines. She had graciously given Mike and me a tour of A Chateau Kitchen earlier in the week and I promised to check out her booth. Cathy's product selection is impressive. She offers over 50 varieties of jams, relishes and pickled veggies. I was lucky enough to taste several of them - a spicy Papaya Chutney, a milder Mango Chutney, a savory Pear Relish, Bloody Mary Chutney and a to die for Bananas Foster Jam. All were extremely tasty and I indulged myself with the purchase of several jars. I can't wait to share the kitchen with Cathy.
Work today was brutal. Never have I spoken to so many and sold so few bottles of wine. It I got paid for talking I would have made a million dollars. Maybe I should apply for the CDS demonstrator job as my mom's boss Pat suggested. I seem to have lost my touch with wine sales.
Tonight Mike and I visited Sweet Tomatoes with our BOGO coupon. Then headed home to organize my baking supplies. What a project! Mike has the patience of a saint. Why he puts up with me and my piles I will never know. We made a dent in the project...a very small dent. There is so much stuff to go through. I think the project will take me most of the week.
Last night I baked a batch of Choc-O-Chips cookies for Ryan's Jacksonville Jaguars co-workers. They were filled with lots and lots of chips - white, bittersweet, semi-sweet and peanut butter, but NO NUTS. To me a cookie is not a cookie without some kind of nut, but his co-worker does not agree. He likes peanut butter, but not nuts. Go figure! I aim to please. Hopefully he will like the results.
Sorry for jumping all over the place tonight. I am only half paying attention. David Bromstad is on TV with Color Splash Miami and I cannot take my eyes off it.
Many hugs,
Kathy
