June 18 & 20, 2009

First, thank you to all the customers who stopped by "le blog" for customer appreciation! I hope you liked what you saw. It was so much fun to see you and hear your comments in person on Saturday!

Thursday was our first day in the Kitchen with Ashley. She is such a huge help! We were done with our work in record time, I even got to take Friday off because we finished that work too. Tracie also had time to make a new product: biscotti! I have never made those before, so it was a new learning experience. It really is a delicate dough so you need lots of extra flour on hand, and you must be very gentile when you shape it and put it on the pan. It was so lively with Tracie, Ashley and me working in the kitchen. It was even more busy when some of the neighborhood kids came over to play with Tracie's son Ty...and Marsha came down for a little bit. It was a nice bustling place to be.

Saturday was ... noteable. There was only a little bit of rain, but it was inconsequential. As a matter of fact the rain was a nice break from the hot sun! There were some crazy wind gusts...which caused The Green Umbrella to topple over. Tracie said it's fixable. But most importantly, there were lots of customers! There were people visiting town for the Master Gardener's convention, people out for the Summer Solstice festivities, people out for the good weather, and most importantly, people were visiting UtGU for Customer Appreciation Day! Many reasons Saturday was a fun day. People were so excited to get their free Oat Power Cookie. Tracie put the power cookies, and the scones in these lovely glass jars! I hope they area weekly occurance. They looked so nice!

On the cake front, I have found that people here are not crazy about Kahlua cake. I hope to be more successful with my next flavor which will be arriving on to market on Wednesday. I'm very excited about it!
