I'll be at Verona to check them out. BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU EAT IF YOU ENJOY IT!!!

Were they open???

Vitamin E oil is your best friend for burns. Or aloe first for the burns, E for the scars.

Very kind of you Rachel. Thanks.

I wish! When they do that, I just sit on my bed and look out the window. Fireworks are eye level here. Very cool. I shall be listening to fireworks from afar.

Sorry Randi, I have no idea. But yesterday I googled farmer's markets and there are phone numbers for all the coordinators. Maybe you could find out.

Baker's Breakfast Cookie. Double Chocolate chip.

Wicked tired? You ARE around Rhode Island, aren't you?

because some people think emeril's overexposure is diluting the network enough as it is. i bet some of the network execs feel the same way. but you knew that already. You DO know bloviatrix was being facetious, right?

You take all the time you need, dear. This site is a ghost town today, anyway. Happy Fourth!

You're eating WHAT? I understand the first grouping of words, and then berries.

Then go see the NJ one!

Motherhouse Cookies, pecan pie (mine), maybe some quick breads and muffins. Bread if we can get some cheap stones. There is no bakery in the two surrounding towns so I hear. Yiii.

OH, it's a long story. A friend of mine works at a convent in West Caldwell, and has been thinking of going into the cookie business. I'm not working at the moment, and he asked me to be a part of it. Only wanting to do Christmas and Easter, I said 'No, not worth my time.' So after pestering him to scout out other businesses in the area who might carry the cookies, he found a couple of farmer's markets. The kitchen is huge, and Saturday or Sunday I'll be testing the ovens. NO equipment to speak of. Well, about half the oven racks we will be needing, and the other half can be just sheet pans. I'll go down to the Bowery tomorrow (will they be open?) or Saturday to see what they have available. I mean, there aren't even bowls or mixing spoons. I'm afraid to bring my own, as they always seem to disappear. We'll see. The kitchen will also have to be inspected, and I have no idea how that will go. All kitchens that I have been involved with have been in full swing when inspected, so I have no idea about starting fresh. Other than this, I have never REALLY sold my stuff. Well, LONG ago, but that doesn't count. Money is also a question. What do the nuns get, and what do I take home? If anyone has any helpful information, feel free to contact me however you like! Plus, I hear they are willing to let me bake and sell my pies, so that's excellent. (Must get a name)! Other than these things, I have to figure out all the fun stuff with design, packaging, distributers, and how much to charge for the goods. My friend seems to think that since a lot of seniors frequent the market, prices have to correspond. Must think on that.

I KNOW!

Thursdays, 1-7, Lackawanna Plaza across from the Bloomfield train station. I should be selling baked goods there. Bloomfield, that would be.

I am now eating the Lay's Chicago Steakhouse Loaded Baked Potato chips. They taste like smoky sour cream, onion, and cheddar chips. I thought they were going to taste like steak.

I have always heard that heating a (closed) can in water is extremely dangerous unless completely submerged. Maybe Dave will pipe up. meg, that sounds completely delicious.

Well then, go do it girl!

I believe you can safely cook a can by keeping it well submerged, simmering rather than boiling (?), and NEVER open the can straight out of the pot. You must let it cool. And what's wrong with Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk?

Okay. Just watching your back, dear.

Sounds like you're working with some real assholes.

Danger pudding?

Utz still makes Chesapeake Crab chips. Old Bay flavored. Yum.

No, it's just extra stuff from the food show. Totally random. I thought it would just be chocolate, or some kind of crisp. I can not have caffeine this late.
