Spring Food Show

Had a busy last week.  We had the spring food show for work.  This year they had a cake contest for the bakery managers.  It had to be on a quarter sheet and do what ever we want on it.  The venders were the judges and the cakes only had a number on them to be fair.  The pic above is my entry.  I adapted an idea I saw on cakewrecks.  They had it done with light chocolate on dark chocolate and on a round cake.  I wanted some color.  No I did not win.  Darn. 

Our food shows are a blast.  As you can see above its a huge room with all the goodies our vendors have to offer us.  Not just Deli and bakery but also produce and meat depts.   They cook up a bunch of the stuff for us and what ever is new to offer and we get to eat our way through the show.

The best part of the show is the end.  When it is over we get to haul all of it away that we want and can load in our cars.  All the hams, turkeys, cheeses, fruits, pies, cakes, pastries and cookies we want. Its a free for all.  It is fun to see the vendors also.  This is the only time we get to see some of them.  The rest of the year we only get to talk on the phone when they have prebook deals for us.

The food show was on Thurs and that was my last day of work till next weeks Tues.  I am on vacation.

Friday we went to the local home show.  I was rather disapointed in it.  Im glad we had free tickets becase I would be mad if I had paid to get in.

Today I cleaned up all my hummingbird feeders and made some sugar water.  I got all the feeders out because the hummers should start moving through soon.I also cleaned out my fountain and started it up.
