No, the weather couldn't stop me, or maybe it did, once. On Wednesday I prepared for a new day of baking after taking two days off. The trailer covered in ice, not pearl sugar, I took off towards Victoria. Wet snow and wind were keeping me company on the road, when I got there I didn't even stop and turned around back home. Cold and miserable weather, no way.
Thursday looked better, still poor sales because there is nobody to sell them to. Friday a little better and Saturday was very good. Krista was helping today. Could that have been the reason?
We sold out that day and had to go home. On Sunday, the day of the final game, I prepared and brought more dough hoping it would be as good as yesterday. My first client asked if she could have a Hot Dog. "I am selling waffles!" I offered her a sample and she bought a waffle. Education is the key here, this waffle is not a breakfast waffle and can be eaten any time of day even at night. Some people told us that this was the best waffle they ever had. Oh my gods all over. "They sure smell good!" A 1000 times, they are good.
And that's what we needed to know if Canadians would buy them or not. They did and were very positive and encouraging. In the photo you see the Saskatchewan(Canadian province) women's team posing in front of our waffle wagon.
Today I visited a welder to make the 'roof'(canopy) over my trailer out of aluminum pipe and orange fabric. Last night I was borrowing a tent which almost went flying. I was about to tie it down when it took off, my ex-goalie reflexes could just catch a leg before it almost crashed in to a couple of parked cars. I almost needed my liability insurance!
This week I will do some research for a spot down town until the markets start in May.
