Hellooooooo.
I’m feeling the stress excitement build as the farmer’s market open approaches tomorrow AM. Lots of last minute issues came up yesterday as they always do in the final hour and I’m sure more will today too.
However, I am a girl who knows how to release stress…
It was a scary moment for all parties involved.
I now have a hole in the carpet, my LLL pants, Tupperware, a wood door, and….
drumroll please…
Boom.
I figure if I can create this masterpiece in the wee hours of the night, my chances of tying it back on at 7am on a Saturday morning are almost as good. Either that or it will make a good straw holder.
I was supposed to do a weight training session yesterday as per my training plan, but I was working on market stuff until 11pm and made the call to skip it in favour of some R & R with the hubs. There are days when you could not bribe me with tons of money to workout and yesterday was surely one of them.
I decided this morning I would drink some liquid sanity in the form of pure, fresh, delicious juice…
That would be 1/2 a lemon, 1/2 a lime, 1 apple, 2 carrots, and 1 beet.
Sluuuurp.
Breakfast = Vegan Overnight Oats!
Me = :devil:
I don’t think I will ever get sick of these! So many possibilities just waiting to be cultivated. I figure by the end of the summer I should have 100 variations.
I made some Blueberry Vanilla Banana Soft Serve…
Using 1 frozen banana, 1/3 cup blueberries, and 1/4-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract. It was fun, although I think I prefer to eat the blueberries whole rather than processed into the BSS (that’s BSS not BS!) :biggrin:
With a cherry on top.
Your Sanity Is Served.
At least for a moment.
I remember being a kid and getting a Shirley Temple as a special treat when we went out to eat at a restaurant. I used to get SO excited about a maraschino cherry and a drink umbrella! :lol: This is the adult Shirley Temple, I guess.
Japanese Sencha Green Tea…made extra strong this morning and was a deep army green! I swear I poured half the tin into the pot. It was either that or an IV of caffeine. For whatever reason, I could not fall asleep until 3am again last night. What a week for sleep I am having.
This morning I am in the process of making more Glo Dough (the ones below are raw vegan choc. chip cookie dough!), and this afternoon I am polishing off the Glo Bars and finishing all the last minute signage, packing, cash box, tarps, bungee cords, pamphlets, etc etc. I feel a bit overwhelmed….I hope I can get it all done!
I would like to take this time to invite local readers to the Oakville Organic Farmer’s Market tomorrow from 9:30am-2pm. There are lots of fabulous organic vendors this year. You can find my tent beside the COFFEE vendor. Just follow your nose!
Why do I feel like I am going to become addicted to coffee this summer? :tongue:
Have a FUN Friday!
Last night I dreamed I was helping you bake all of your glo bars! Then we decided to dip the glo dough in melted chocolate to make cookie dough truffles. I hope your day at the market goes well. :)
hahah that’s hilarious! I wish it were true ;)
Good luck girlie!!! Looks like you’re doing great. Almost there!!! The first weekend is always the hardest…it will get easier :) Still love how cute the Glo Dough is. YUM
Whoa, you’re a regular handywoman! Good luck with the opening- people are gonna eat those GloBars/Doughs UP! :D
Good luck getting everything done today. I am sure it will be worth it once you are at the farmer’s market tomorrow and everyone is loving all your goodies!
OH Angela,
I never knew Oakville has an Organic Market. Where is it? I used to attend Sheridan for animation almost 10 years ago and now I’m living up north. We’re coming down to Toronto this weekend for a concert and I’ll see if I can steal the car and rush off in the morning for a peak. It’s a long shot but who knows. Good luck at the market! Bring some music and a book ;)

Tara,
It’s at Centennial Square (Lakeshore Rd. & Navy St. (west of Trafalgar) in front of The Oakville Centre). I am so excited to try Angela’s Glo Bars, that I dragged the hubby there last weekend…not knowing it didn’t start until tomorrow (doh!). The website is http://market.osfp.ca/ for more info.
Cheers, Jennifer :)
Aww sorry you missed me last weekend! Hope to see you ladies tomorrow. :)
Wishing you lots of luck tomorrow and hopefully today’s prep is not too stressful! Please post some pics of your finished stand- we’d love to see it, the pieces look great! Maybe you can share some general farmers market photos too through the summer. I think it is one of the best places on earth in the summer! :)
Yes lots of photos will be taken! :)
Nice job on the drilling ;) Quite the handy-woman!
Good luck with tomorrow’s market, not that you need it, I’m sure you will do an amazing job!
You will get it done! One step at a time; don’t get too overwhelmed :)
This Saturday market is going to be such an awesome experience for you! The build up is so tough isn’t it though…all the prep and unknown. :)
Keep making those juices to fuel the brain!
If I’m in the area this summer I’ll definitely stop by your farmer’s market
Good luck with the farmer’s market. I’m sure you will get everything you need done. Your Overnight Oat creations look so good. Have a great day. :)
Good luck for tomorrow’s market, I’m sure you will do great!
I live in East Toronto but one of these days I will stop by and visit you at the Oakville market. I need to try one of these famous Glo Bars (and Glo Dough!)
the blueberry banana overnight oats look beautiful!!! *almost* too pretty to eat :)
All this talk of the Farmers Market has me excited. I will be there to get my hands on some of those liberate bars. Looking forward to supporting you and checking out the market. I didn’t even know it existed!
Good luck at the farmer’s market tomorrow!
Best of luck with everything you need to do today <3 Don't forget to take a minute to breathe! It looks like you're giving you body absolutely everything that it needs, though.
I'm totally planning on swinging by tomorrow, I'll look for you when I do! Can't wait to try one of those liberate bars. See you tomorrow morning lady!
xoxo
With all of the work you do, and owning your own business, I’m surprised you aren’t already addicted to coffee!
hahah I know, just reeeeeally strong green tea. Coffee might be next
Good luck getting everything done!! Everything always seems to come down to the last minute, but fortunately it all seems to have a way of coming together in the end.
I love the look of the Glo Dough! It’s so cute…and looks delicious! I wish I lived near by so that I could go to the farmer’s market tomorrow. Hope everything goes well! :)
Also, the blueberry vanilla soft-serve is my favorite combination yet. I can’t wait to try it!
