Wattle You Have?
There are items besides baked goods for sale at the Harvest of Blessings at All Saints Church. However it’s the cakes, cookies and other sweets that interest me. I had a commitment to attend a special Mass at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. Because I didn’t want to miss the bake sale, I drove over to church at 9:00 a.m. for my annual photo safari. Maybe with enough practice, I will get better at photographing things through plastic bags.
Each year our friend Kathy and her daughter Karie make something interesting. The past couple of years, she challenged me to guess which item was hers. Last year they made turkey cookies, which helped me to deduce that they made the turkey cupcakes this year. Karie told me they were at Dollywood recently and took time to watch the candy makers. As they were making chocolate-covered marshmallows on sticks, Karie told them about the s’mores on a stick that Kathy made for the Harvest of Blessings in 2008. The folks at Dollywood seemed very interested.
My wife and I bought a savory item that we can save to have as a parade-watching snack on Thanksgiving Day. It looks like Chex Mix but the label describes it as “Pumpkin Pie Crunch.”
