All good friends share. They even share jobs. At least Megan and I did.

Many a Friday last summer found Megan on an early morning drive to my kitchen. She would join Maren (sister #1) and me for the day's baking, up to twelve hours at times. Megan brought much help and encouragement to our kitchen. Due to her deft hands Maren and I found a few formerly unheard of minutes for meals, coffee, and even a little story time. By sharing, I think I got the better end of the deal.

This fall Megan took her turn at sharing. A dream came true when Hannah (sister #2) and I got a behind-the-scenes view into a coffee shop.

Megan mixing up one of her many ice-blended coffees that day.

Hannah and I each got to make our own coffee. Here I am preparing grounds for espresso.

Caramel colored espresso. Beautiful!

Heating and frothing milk. Thankfully Megan helped me through this scientific process.

Adding flavors.

Almond Joy Mocha. Amazing!

Farmers Market Fare

There are many great things about selling at farmers markets.  One of the perks is the swapping of left-overs that takes place at the end of the day.  Often these swaps take us beyond the vegetable basics.  That was true one day last fall.

Upon receiving a bag of beautiful, blue potatoes, I began dreaming.  Blue Chips with a Twist. 

Crispy.  Crunchy.  Potato-y.  Yummy!
