French Market

Today was the 2nd time I have participated in a French Market.  My friends Loris & Pat Knobloch have a beautiful garden & host an outdoor French Market in the garden with various vendors that sell things - lots of antiques, antiques, refurbished furniture, herbs, tons of plants, hand-painted art, jewelry, neat finds, essential oils, some produce, etc.  It really reminds me of the many European markets I've been to.  Today I had a booth with food items.  I had handmade Italian cream sodas, turkey wraps, truffle oil popcorn with parmesan & browned butter, salted caramel oatmeal cookies, scotcharoo's, s'mores rice krispie treats & sugared pecans!  Last year I did Italian cream sodas only so I decided to make more food this time.  Italian sodas are soooooo good & very indulgent -- flavored syrup, heavy cream (whoa!) & club soda, stirred together over ice.  Today's flavors were peach, raspberry, strawberry, pomegranate, lemon, pineapple, coconut, OR could mix & match any combination of these.  Pineapple/Coconut,  Peach/Raspberry, & Strawberry/Lemon were quite popular today.  A big thank you to my dad who helped set up all my stuff & stayed to take money & help out in general. I made sure he got a couple of treats as a thank-you!
