The Farmers Market
Our staff went out today not for lunch but for an experience. I went to Booths Corner for the first time today which is your typical farmers market. What I was not expecting is to lose self control at every booth. Here is a few things that I ate today at lunch.
- Bacon, Ranch & Chicken pretzel wrap
- Sausage sandwich
- Cinnamon role
- 2 bowls of mini donuts
- Spiral potato on a stick
- Chili cheese dog
- Cheese fries
Here are some things that I learned.
- The farmers market is the Disney world for food lovers. There is something for everyone. Trust me I know now.
- Eating large quantities of food is always more fun with the staff. Except for when they take pictures and make fun of you.
- Our entire staff knows how to eat. I am not the only one with an appetite, women included.
- Bring cash. They don’t like credit.
- I can eat, buy car parts, shoes and get a hair cut all in one place. Great time management.
- Lost of Amish people, but not horse and buggies. How did they get there?
- Stand there long enough and they will give you free samples.
- Don’t settle for the first round, scope the place out and don’t just settle for mediocrity.
- Get home quick. I’ll leave it at that.
25 Days Of Christmas_Day 7
What kind of Christmas traditions do you have? Growing up we had several traditions, some were great and some were not so great to put it lightly. Loved Christmas Eve because we opened up all our presents, there is something about doing it at night with the tree lit that just seemed magical. We opened the small gifts from “Santa” in the morning. Christmas Eve we would have tons of desserts and finger foods and there always seemed to be so much food. On Christmas day we would have either turkey and ham and have all the fixings. On the night before Christmas Eve we would drive around looking at Christmas lights. I posted yesterday how I loved to see everything lit up and shining. Those drives were always interesting and came with their own set of issues but either way it was a tradition that I enjoyed.
How about you? When do you shop? Do you do a real tree or a fake tree? Do you have any special meals? When do you open presents? Any special story times? When does all your shopping take place? I would love to hear about your traditions and childhood Christmas memories.
