Sunday was chilly. There is no different solution to describe it. Our farmer’s market is open air by way of the top of October, which is sweet since we love being outdoors, nevertheless it does begin to get a bit chilly as fall progresses towards winter. The temps simply barely made it to 50-degrees Fahrenheit and tack on the wind chill to deliver the “looks like” temp proper again down into the 40’s. Not dangerous, however if you end up standing in a sales space all day, it is chilly. So which means I used to be absolutely wearing winter put on.
I do not know if I’ve touched on this earlier than right here on the weblog, however one of many very best issues about being a farmer’s market vendor is attending to know the opposite distributors. We’re so lucky to be surrounded by the nicest folks, a lot of whom have change into associates outdoors of the market. On Sunday one in every of these great folks determined she was going to make a sizzling breakfast for a couple of of us. She’s a chef and meals vendor and every thing she makes is wonderful, so you’ll be able to think about the thrill on this stunning present. We offered eggs from the Coop women, an electrical skillet (they’d a generator), and a few paper plates. All the things she cooked and served was from a market vendor which meant the whole meal was regionally raised, grown, and made. It was such a pleasant begin to the day.
So, even on chilly breezy days, there are ALWAYS vibrant spots.
Monday morning, I set to work making granola. I made a decision to make a quadruple batch to place within the freezer. Do you know that granola freezes very well? It does. And it would not should be thawed earlier than you eat it, which makes it an amazing last-minute meal or snack.
As you already know, Oliver was the final word supervisor. He was by my aspect each minute of each single job. He by no means took day without work though he would get somewhat cranky pants typically and provides me the look if I wasn’t giving him sufficient snacks. As he noticed it, supervising requires ongoing nourishment. Gosh, I miss that little man each single day.
I’ve been and not using a correct supervisor since his passing so think about my shock when Jackson determined to step up and attempt to fill the place.
I had all of my substances out and started measuring my first batch when Jack sauntered in. As he sat on the stool watching me, I talked to him – requested him about his day and advised him what I used to be doing. Similar to I did with Oliver. Properly, apparently, both my chat made him sleepy or bored, however both method, he simply could not hold with me. Listed here are the images that I took. The whole supervisory occasion lasted a whopping 7 minutes…..
All the things’s wanting okay. Dialog goes effectively. I’m feeling effectively supervised.
Inside 2 minutes my supervisor wandered away from his publish. Hmmm…maybe the field was calling his title?
A couple of minutes later after I regarded up here’s what I noticed. Slacker. Sleeping on the job.
This man’s going to wish some coaching.
