My normal Wednesday morning routine usually involves a quiet cup of tea, washing up the breakfast dishes, and then I scamper up to the computer to start on my weekly Farmers Market email. This morning was a rude surprise- I had a call at 4:45 saying that the Market had been broken into. By the time I reached the market, just minutes later, the thieves had been apprehended! Thank you Hoquiam Police Department! Thank you Sgt. Enno, Canine officer extraordinaire, sniffer out of stolen safes! Sgt. Enno has earned himself a lifetime supply of our homebaked doggie treats. Our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated Police Officers of Hoquiam.
Jean and Lupe were able to get right back to baking cookies and carrot cake, barely taking a break from mixing and measuring. All in a days’ work for the crew! I think the best description is ‘unflappable’.
Nancy has decided that maybe coming in during her vacation break just once a week won’t disrupt the healing relaxation that she has been enjoying, and we’re absolutely delighted! I had been giving myself little pep talks each day, saying ‘cinnamon rolls do not have to be a part of your daily food group, relax, you can survive until February’. Someone up there is smiling on us, because Nancy is baking cinnamon rolls and pies on Friday! I swear, I did not pressure her. Not one single word passed my lips. However, my face sometimes betrays me, and the anguish from a lack of Nancy’s cinnamon rolls was becoming hard to conceal.
So much to do. Prepare yourself by stopping by the Farmers Market for some delicious options. Anthony is still making his Cranberry Sausage, and it has become my all-time favorite. The flavors are incredible. I love the combo of a hint of sweet with the meat. And we have fresh Razor Clams! All cleaned and ready for the pan!
Deidra’s soups have been getting many of us thru the recent monsoons. Such a comfort to tuck into a savory bowl of soup when the rain is coming down sideways!
Come on over, we can make a good day even better, and a bad day can be transformed by welcoming smiles.
