A Chilly but Awesome Day at the Market

I never took off my pullover yesterday because my cart was mostly or entirely shaded the whole market day, and it was chilly if you weren't in the sun.

Ken, a buddy from yoga class, stopped by and had a container of Basset Tracks:

He was on his way to an event in New York, so he had no choice but to consume the pint in one sitting. No choice! Don't judge him! 😆

I had fun petting on a corgi named Benny, who was at the market with two young women:

I showed the gals photos of my two fur kids, and we talked about the awesomeness of corgis. (For those who don't know, I used to have two Pembroke Welsh corgi cousins—Cody and Emme—and Missy is probably part corgi, either Pembroke or Cardigan.)

I didn't sell any more Beet-Nutmegs. A couple tried it and both enjoyed it, but they said their kids wouldn't go for it, so they bought other flavors to take home. My friend and loyal customer Caroline tried it and liked it, though its flavor didn't bring to mind either beets or nutmeg for her. My friend Desirée said (via email) I should rebrand BN as So Good It Can't Be Beet! (But It Is), which is super creative. But all those words aren't going to fit on my sign. And my packaging already says Beet-Nutmeg.

I'm on the fence about whether I'm going to do a production day at the club this week. Tony and I have so many things we want to accomplish in the next few days, and even after a respectable number of sales yesterday, I've still got lots of unsold inventory in my chest freezer. I'd like to make more Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream before the weather gets too cold, though, and I've got a new flavor of vegan frozen dessert in mind. I was considering making a VFD that incorporated butternut squash or sweet potatoes, but I think I've now settled on something with broader appeal that would also feel seasonal in this cooler weather.
