This winter and holiday season I've had the chance to slow down and rest. Still working hard on market and prep days but since permits are still pending for the storefront, there's not much else we can do but wait. I don't like to plan too much for the future-- never know what's going to happen-- so trying to stay focused on the present.

Cooking and in the kitchen a lot, which makes me happy. 

Below is homemade clotted cream (not the greatest looking thing in the world, but so delicious!) and afternoon tea complete with fresh baked scones, jam, and earl grey. Fancy!!! 

I'm enjoying winter for the most part, but I do wish I canned and preserved more food throughout the year. Let's all try to make more things ourselves this year instead of buying manufactured products from far away places. Let's aim to conserve a little more, buy fewer things, and produce less waste. Sound good?
