Your Country Comfort Life

Relax…it’s easy


I started my farmers market time at “Smoke Signals – The Little Market That Could.” It was here that Rosemary and Sheldon showed me the ropes on starting a farmers market booth. I am forever thankful for their guidance during a very difficult time. This market is now closed and I have moved on to the Lydia Farmers Market at the Lydia Zion United Methodist church in Lydia. I am doing my third year here, thanks to a hand from Rick Klehr (better known to me as Mr. Gladiola) for his remarkable flowers) He recommended my booth to Kyle and Charlie, operators of this market, and it has been the best ever.

My focus has changed from the early days when I sold mostly cookies from the Betty Crocker cookie cookbook. I now focus on scones, caramel rolls, fantasy fudge and kolaches. These are of the Irish/German genre as I cannot claim fame to those famous confections made by local Chezchs. Mostly I love to see the faces of kids picking out their favorite sugar cookie.

So what is this blog about? You’ll will on occasion find recipes from my 45 year collection of cookie and candy recipes. I may put together a cooky cookbook for all times.
I will be filling this site out with a series of serious garden, herbal, permaculture and Farmer’s Market posts and videos with links to see some of my favorite sites. I think you will find them as inspiring as I do!
