Recently we have asked you for ice cream flavors and your favorite cherry recipes. We are pleased to report that both initiatives are propelling along thanks to your thoughtful creativity. The Bakery and Café staff are busy narrowing down the selections for new ice cream flavors. The recipe section on our website is taking shape and should be ready next week. Stay tuned...and thanks for the help!
Snow is back...
It is a blizzard today. Every school is closed and the state police have declared a civil emergency. BATA isn't running either, so I hitched a ride with Jessie, the manager of our corporate and wholesale sales. We are adventurers. I am writing while she drives. This is good - it keeps my eyes off the road, so I don't steer my own make believe steering wheel. That's exhausting. But once in a while I peek. Ooh, there is a abandoned and buried VW deep in the snowbank - tsk tsk.. too fast for conditions. Now we are in the worst spot - the open farm land around Pollack's corner. It is a complete whiteout. Jessie's neck is craned out like a swan and her fingers grip and re-grip the steering wheel. She gets through it. She laughs and says, "I don't remember M-72 being so curvy." I laugh too, and don't have the heart to tell her that somehow she had driven off the road and was in Noonan's hay field steering around his out buildings...
