TLDR: Found a lost spooder. Square doesn’t log everyhing, Shippo told on them. Pickle Poppers because what’s stopping me!? Y’all showed up and showed out, thank you so much for an amazing weekend y’all! Drink water and stay magical!
Welcome back to the unhinged after action review aka dissertation aka brief novella of nonsense known as . There’s so much in this one and I removed most of the nonsense allergy ramblings. Strap in or strap up, down I don’t know just grab some snacks and enjoy this muppet fiasco (my everyday life).
Omg right before I went to sleep last Sunday I remembered that I had eaten pickle flavored chips right before I had my salad last weekend. The pickle scent was me all along. So the anti itch cream just smelt like the broth of six nickels. 🤣 I just wanted to clear that up.
Also, I would like to update my answer a question from about two month ago. McPeak, the cake mixes have found their stride. I just kept bringing them with me on the off chance someone is looking for them. LMAO, I’m trying to make ‘we have cake a home’ something to be excited about.
Next months cake flavor is peach cobbler! I know… as delicious pound cake though. I never really figured out the baking a cookie into the cake the way I wanted it so I found a different way to combine what I wanted. I will be back before the weekend with nicer pictures for y’all. I’m pretty excited about it though.
I was too delirious to remember that my sim card corrupted on Saturday. My phone's on the ancient side of things and had a physical sim card that just gave up the ghost suddenly. No more bopping back and forth between older models at my leisure huh. Fiiiiine 🙄.
So I have a pickle popper I'm working on that I'm crazy excited about. At this rate I'll for sure need another table stand for the snacks. Update: an affordable unfinished one was procured.
I just found a giant house spider trapped in the emulsions bin. Poor lil dood, nil though they scared the crap out of me for a second. They got stuck since the sides are absolutely too smooth to escape. I know they're harmless and all but goodness seeing all of their face at that size is nervous making. Probably as scary as witnessing my ol' booming head trying to calm you down with all the vibrations 😂.
Anyways I used the banner pole to run it between the bucket handles, couldn't risk hurting them in an ill timed bucket drop. I put them in a less used room {basement}, LMAO they scurried away quick af. I saw another one down there and waved... they didn't move so I squatted to wave directly at them. I know, it’s the perfect time to make sure they know, I know, that we know, we now see each other. Nope, nothing traumatizing about that/s/. They about faced and cartoon skedaddled which was quite noticeable with that many legs. Wave at your local spooders at your own risk, but maybe don’t squat down to do it.
So for the bread poppers I'm using a new style bag so I did a quick freezer test on them with some test bread poppers. The window is plenty thick enough that y'all can safely toss these bad boys in the freezer as is and enjoy when ever you’re ready. I do still recommend putting the rigid cake containers in at least a baggie to prevent frost bite. I’m mostly sure that everyone's had a lost or forgotten item in the freezer right? Just me? Well, fine then lol.
Shippo logged an order that Square did not. I made the post cards free..100%, I’ll be honest I have no idea how square runs those kind of orders. I did die on the spot upon logging in though. Warner brothers ghost watch myself from above kinda moment. I fulfilled the order and send an apology letter as well. It's on me no matter what but fuuch if I'm not wildly upset with square. Why not log that.. why only shippo bro. I said it's on me because I will now be checking shippo weekly just to make sure nothing is missed. I feel so bad right now, I hope they weren’t super bummed or crushed! So, that's today's news. Uhm. Yup. Monday is Mondaying so hard right now. Thanks for reading my nonsense.
If you want give anyone you live with a fun scare just grab some spray paint shake it a little and disappear into the house. I left my phone in the living room and needed to check the weather before I started painting. 😂🤣 I painted the front and back of those display stand panels (the very affordable unfinished stand).. I didn't do anything to the sides though. Thankfully it'll be between the two for now. Update: I put them all together on a table and they look a hot mess side by side. I ended up using acrylic to touch up the all three and paint the torched ends black.
I’ve switched dehydrated jalapeño companies after last weekend. The one I was using has too much... environment or pollen in it for me to handle safely. I don’t know what it was nor do care to know, I pitched it and ordered from a different company. I’ll be switching to a crushed version, so on the plus side you'll get way more pops of jalapeño in each bite this way. Hopefully it’ll be better long term for me and the bread.
Hey so if you're allergic to cats... You could be allergic to horses. On the plus side I’ve been extremely hesitant to meet the horses out back; it just gives me an immediate danger vibe. I bet that's why 😂😅 My life is pure comedy at this point.
Setup is tonight so of course I'm over here screen printing totes instead of doing whatever else I need to do. Also.. I'm on the hunt for a very specific tote for the future (I only have a couple blanks left of these so no big deal). My screens are crazy incorrect for this application but I got and we're gonna make this work. I know more about what I'm doing than the day I bought them so I’ll be adjusting as I move forward. I promise I'm just winging all of this, and you can too! The prints are not as pristine as my work shirts so they will be priced as such.
I for sure bought oxygen absorbers and not dry packs for humidity for the tote packages. I’ve done already sealed these first few up. I was just sitting here looking at the little packs wondering why this is what gets added… that’s because they don’t. Woopsa doopsie.
I packed a salad for lunch which is normally fine. I got a wild amount of crazy looks, I promise I’m not so loosey goosey in the head I’m eating the recalled lechuga (lettuce). That wasn’t poo poo veg. This is from the same head of lettuce, cabbage, bag of carrots and radishes that were all grown locally and procured last week. The reactions were top tier though, thank you for all of your silent prayers and juju for my tummy. I need it, just not for the poo poo veg reasons, LMAO. I’m just a cryptic cosplaying as a people and doing my best.
Any cake with a fruit flavor is made with that fruit. Either as a powder (mango cheesecake) or a fruit butter. I am allergic to most plant pollens so I personally can't do much with too many fresh fruits. Which works decently for the bakery since I can't have cut fresh fruit in or on anything anyways. To get around my allergies I source froze already processed fruits (pollen who, I don’t know her), and then I cook them with a touch of sugar. Naturally, this process hits the destroy pathogens temp and time since the food recall list has become an ever growing entity. As a healthcare escapee I do take y’alls health into consideration with everything I create.
I woke up wrecked.It truly sucks that mold is just around outside and everywhere really. Still made it to the market, got everything ready and had a great time. I can’t wait until I finally break free of these recurring reactions. I’m finally starting to be able to tell the difference in the reactions (one takes a full 24 hrs to even start).
Me singing to myself after going over that last interaction. “I’m an over sharer.... And I don't know how to stop"
Is it me or did someone tell August it wasn’t summering hard enough.. good freaking grief.
I had an amazing interaction this weekend that I’m still flying all high off of! “I’m still amazed you have such reasonable prices…” “Well we all can't be out here doing a corporate robbery of the people. 😂😅 I’d literally never sleep again if I did that.”
Want to know something cool!? I keep my prices intentionally affordable. I spend a silly amount of time sourcing ingredients in bulk or making them myself to keep the prices affordable. If you have to eat gluten free or vegan or both like me.. you know exactly what I mean about the affordability. Never-mind the product size to price ratio. Which feels like literally grocery store rage bait, the whole time. Corporate stays giving “If you’re not rich with a bunk tummy so sad too bad for you” and I’m just sick of it. I’m a human with a bunk tummy and a CVS receipt worth of allergies, who also understands how magical it feels to find safe foods in the wild and just feel seen. *The prices might go back to six bucks in person to cover the gas so I can keep visiting y’all.
Oh my gawd y’all! I saw some gold leafed nails that were so amazing!! Someone else had a really nice cat eye effect on a show stopping shade of natural jade green! I also saw some gorgeous brass earrings that were so detailed and beautiful, oh my goodness! So many amazing people, shops, art, clothes, accessories and shoes this weekend! My heart is so full! Thank you everyone for coming out!
I’ve already made some updates to the breads. I added more chaz to the jalapeño cheddars, I couldn’t see or taste it that much in the first version but assumed the jalapeños were covering it. The switch to the McCormick Culinary crushed jalapeños worked out much better; no sneezing fits and much more uniformed sized pieces. I think I’m going to add more veggies to the zoup poppers. I mean, is there really a such thing as too much soup? My OG batch of dill poppers were a bit too stronk so I dialed it back for their debut. Let me know if y’all want the stronk one instead. Pickle people unite!!!!!
I ran out of tiny dinos for the first time ever! How exciting! Depending on the vibe of the market I just give them away; I’m all for the tiny and especially the free joys in life. Which is also why I have the free Zinebrary also. Yes the bakery does sell things but I’m not super into consumerism or capitalism despite being a participant of modern proper society.
The chocolate fudge went heckin fast this weekend, that cake is for sure a crowd favorite across the entire state. Surprisingly it wasn’t the lemon cake as the runner up this weekend it was the French Vanilla… slay boo slay… she bad and she know it. French Vanilla is my ride or die bestie amongst the cakes {the blueberry cake pop though…🤤}.
I looked up and was out of singles and most of my coin change. Y’all, ya boi had a lil toe dip in the panic pool. Well, that’s what I meant to do, but you see here we are eyeball deep in the muck. I think that lizard over there just waved at me! I was sending the deranged spiral out so fast to The Bearded Wonder he was like I can just pop on over before work and give you a quick break. He obviously sensed the pure delirium in my messages. I was indeed down to 5 dollars in singles including my coins. Thankfully some youthfully striking heroes saved my day by giving me their change in exchange for delicious cakes! I literally am absolutely so grateful to not have to make a bank trip to get more coins than I could ever need at once.
Y’all I think I took my traditional three hour pre-market nap right. Woke up swollen, wheezy and wrecked. Had a whole sensory meltdown because my n95 was touching me.. as it needs to in order to work - put on a medical mask instead. It was at least noon before I could get more than a sip of anything down. The Bearded Wonder popped by and gave me a break. Packed up and headed home where I thought I was going to do at least three of the things I had just added to my list for this upcoming weekend. I did not do any of it, I sat down and fell asleep on the couch. Such over ambitiousness.
I’m redoing the shelf stability test on jalapeño poppers since I switched vendors. I gave all of the breads a short best-by date until I get this sorted. I don’t want you to save it and then be all kinda of upset. Nothing I bake has preservatives, I just follow Good Manufacturing Practices to prevent excessive spoilage. I do take into consideration not just the stability but also the texture and flavor. Forgotten about on the kitchen counter my pound cakes are peak perfection for three days. After three days, I can tell it is a gluten free cake because the texture changes slightly. After about 5 or more days it’s a far drier cake than I thought it would be. At the same time, most of the cakes really aren’t making it that long. For those that stock up - they get frozen for later. This is why I do the tests I do. I want you to get the best product, the best value AND the best outcome for your money every time. *The cakes will go back to six bucks in person to cover gas to events so that the bakery remains self sufficient.* No other price changes will occur at this time, online prices will remain the same. I will do my best to get the site updated with all of the new market items for pickup.
I have an idea on how I can add another cake display to the setup, if it works out then the Breakfast Bundts will be making a come back. My apologies to those looking for them over the weekend.
Well I guess I better start gathering supplies for tomorrows productivity. Since the end of the month falls at the beginning of the week, the bakery is giving to GLO. Receipts have to go not the next video post square payment. Y’all are what powers my ability to give back to the community I exist within!! Thank y’all! ��To answer the unasked question of last week… “Why even buy that chaz if if has an ingredient that you ‘can’t’ have?” Shortest answer - price point and availability. Also not all allergen proteins are the same, whey the milk protein CAN’T be denatured by cooking it. Olive proteins can though. Prior to eating the chaz on the the salad, I had been making chaz crackers. I most definitely tasted the dough and plenty of underbaked crackers. This was on the heels of a grass reaction from the weekend prior, while in recovery from the mold exposure two weekends prior to that and so on back to about June. Mind you I was trying to manage the concurrent dander exposure in real time. Look my health has been all over the place for the last quarter because I really am a bubble boi trying to just exist. That’s all. I’m doing my best.
Drink some water and check on your nearby trees; they check on you. Stay magical out there y’all! I’ve got an order to pack and then I think I might print my labels for this upcoming weekend before the week starts.
