Verveine

We had a very eventful market session yesterday, with orchestration help from Mother Nature. Last week, we took a much needed week off from the market, and enjoyed the weekend like normal folks. It was a great decision, as we were completely pumped to be back and working this week.

It rained when we left our place at six in the morning. It rained the entire drive there, and rained while we were setting up the canopy. It continued to rain for the first two hours of the market. Still, our regulars steadily trickled by, professing that they cannot live a week without their “caramel fix”. It stopped raining from around 10:00-11:30. At that point, the skies were divided. To the left of us, the sky was blue- bright and endless, interrupted only by wispy clouds. On our right was trouble. Grey clouds, thick and ominous that were slowly forming what was going to be an unrelenting storm.

There are still a lot of things I am unable to do by myself, and I’ll admit it…though not completely willingly.

Things in high places might as well be in a different country. I can’t download things by myself and I cannot, for the life of me, find a place without very explicit, specific, written (and verbal) directions.

But when it comes to things in the kitchen, I’m always looking for ways to make things myself. Especially things that you’d normally find processed and pre-packaged.
