Since I have no set income I have to remember to buy things when I have money. This includes baking supplies for making yummy things for the market. Had to get hot dog buns for dinner and while I was staring at herbs & spices to stick in the muffins I didn't end up getting made today a thought hit me. No not physically though they do do that sometimes. I realized I had enough cash on hand to get some stuff for upcoming market goodies and so I did.
If I can get a working formula going - and can perfect it I have plans to make bacon flavored hard candy - no your eyes do not deceive you, no I didn't make a typo yes you saw bacon candy. I've had similar elsewhere and it was delicious and I'd like to learn to make hard candy anyway so why not start with bacon.
Also on the agenda for upcoming markets are a list of goodies in no particular order other than my brain said - 'type this now':
Pumpkin Butterscotch Cloud cookies - my version
Old Fashioned Coconut Macaroons - not the french little hard sandwich cookie no the puffy balls of coconut baked golden brown...those!
Indestructible fudge - if I had my friend Angi's address I'd be suffering the leg pain tonight and standing up to make this just so I could send it to her - she's hospitalized after her 8th back surgery. I'd love to brighten her day but I don't have her address.
Peanut butter cup cookies - I can't tell you yet - I have to test these first - as in make a batch, eat them and then see if they're sale-able.
Homemade Moonpies - MOON PIES - not whoopie pies (though I know how to do those too) - sadly this will probably have to wait until like September - it needs to be moderately not stifling and also not over 45% humidity...er something like that.
A variety of candy type sweets - mostly caramels and hard candy - but for which I have some practicing to do and uh molds to buy.
Sourdough Chewy Granola bars - someday when I need to feed Leroy and have had $ to stop at Sahara mart and get nuts. (note that says get nuts not GO nuts - I'm already there).
And many more things including a series of things from my Swedish cookbook. Now if only I had $10 extra on paypal so I could buy my bicarb. No I don't mean sodium bicarb...sadly I NEED to buy another container of Ammonium Bicarbonate aka Baking Ammonia (look on most major commercially produced baked goods lately especially lower sodium versions of things) its in there somewhere. I know Little Debbie uses it a lot. I'll explain further in another blog.
Frawggie who is being good and resting her sore leg.
