Farmer's Market

Yesterday was farm market day in Munising and the weather decided to co-operate for a change!






We have a wood-fired bread oven (open for public use!) and the ladies from the Eric R Beverly Foundation were baking pizza and spreading around the friendliness and fun as liberally as the pizza sauce. If you've never had pizza in a brick over---you need to come to town and try it.








The oven is close to the Lake Superior shore and in addition to making some fantastic baked goods, you have a wonderful view.



The yarn this woman is using was home-grown, home-spun and now being hand-knitted! Talk about cutting out the middleman.
Here's a beautiful bowl/mug made by Open Wings.
When you're in town (May to October), make sure you stop by the market for a bit and check it out!
After the market I came back to welcome our guests and get some baking done. I made some beautiful blueberry cinnamon rolls, popped them in the oven and promptly forgot about them while I was answering email. When my teeny, tiny little brain finally remembered there was something in the oven I raced toward the house, scattering birds from all the feeders, running as fast as my bare feet (still too tender to ignore the gravel) would let me; I threw open the screen door and sent the dogs into a seizure of barking only to discover that my poor rolls were overdone. Not burned, just sadly overcooked and hard as hockey pucks....
