Almost like Christmas

We finally had a real good selling weekend. Since it was Mother's Day weekend Peg decided we needed to sell both days. On Saturday we did the Berryville Main Street Craft Market in Berryville, VA and had great day even though it was a little warm and threatening to shower on us. On Sunday we hit our usual spot at the Jefferson Biz Market and did even better. The total in sales for both days was rapidly approaching Christmas levels. But now we are totally pooped and need to replace inventory. Guess I'll be twisting metal most of the week.

Bun in the oven

More cookin'! Bubba didn't get this size by not being able to cook. I had a hankerin' for some coconut so I whipped up a batch of coconut sweet buns over the weekend. They are made with coconut milk and shredded coconut. Yum. Picture was taken with my iPhone after I just shoved the buns into the oven. I still need to download the smell app.

Lookin' for a Honey

So Saturday turned out to be another one of those "don't wanna do anything" kind of days. We decided to cruise around to a couple of farmers markets. I struck pay gold at the Leesburg, VA farmers market when I found a vendor selling my favorite honey. Buckwheat honey has a distinct taste that is very different from other honeys. Yum. This is the description off of the apiarists' (Bees N' Blossoms) site:

One of the most popular honey nectars! Buckwheat honey is one of the most antioxidant rich honeys produced! Darker in color and with a deep rich flavor, buckwheat honey is an excellent choice for cooking and baking as well as general use.

A lazy Saturday morning

We took some time-out to cruise the Mustang up to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD. While there I tried my best to make the turtles smile. Check out a few more pictures over on my Flickr site: Bubba's Toybox.
