    Patsy – Summit. It opened yesterday. A really, really nice one, plenty of vendors, organic items, chicken pot pie, fresh mozzarella, fish, cupcakes!, way more than just fruits and vegs. 8am-1pm Sundays until 11/22 in the parking lot on the corner of Maple and DeForest.

    Cathy – so would I! Those were actually for sale at a farmer’s market we went to. Gorgeous, aren’t they?

    Joanne – thanks! Definite keepers. ;)

    Chris – hey stranger! The Neighbor Wife loves them too, so I brought her back one. She reported that they were delish! How’ve you been? Coming to Jersey any time soon?

    Debbie – aren’t those snowball cupcakes divine? I couldn’t resist, even at 2.50 a piece.

    Janet – if only it were that easy. ;) Like Emeril says, we need smell-a-vision. ;)

    Claire – it is! When I was loading the picture, I was thinking it had been awhile since she appeared here. Hard to believe she’s six already! As for Madeline, she was tired of me taking pictures, but she’s just so stinkin’ cute, just like her brother, except he wasn’t covered top to bottom in chocolate. ;)

    Noob – thanks – I try!
