the weekend in the rearview mirror...

Now that I've had a moment to put my feet up...

I'll share a few thoughts about the weekend past.

We have the most amazing little gift shop in our town...

whose owner invited us (MGCC team) to join her at the West Coast Women's Show this past weekend.

What a great time it was!

The Winks booth was the nicest one at the trade show...

in my unbiased opinion.

We had such fun meeting the shoppers...

and all those who came by to say 'hi'...

or to have a cookbook signed.

I'm remembering some of those fine folks~

...the master painter from the booth next door who came to buy a book

...the gal who said she had the book and called it her 'idiot proof cookbook'

...the one who didn't even bother to look at the book but bought several because she loved our cause

...the two gals who remember me as their Pioneer Girls Club leader from eons ago (really?)
...Amy from Star FM who came by to purchase a book before work

...the gal who got us to sign her book just as we were about to go on stage for our cooking demo

...the one who was purchasing a book for her Mennonite husband in hopes that he will learn to cook

...the gal who flew in from Calgary just to have us sign her book!

And yes...

we did two cooking demos at the Kitchen Theatre.

We've all had a chance to watch Chef Dez in action as he does his cooking classes.

This time he introduced us...

and said kind things about us...

and came back for a taste test after the show.

Those who were there had a chance to sample waffles with custard and berry sauce...

and fall soups after the second demo.

We just gave out wee samples.

Those who wanted more...
bought the cookbook and went home to cook up their own!

 If you are still wanting a cookbook...
I know my friend Pondside is giving one away over on her blog this week.
Go pay her a visit!

Today?
I'm buying a tree...
having a pedicure that I won at a fundraiser...
and having a visit from some grandgirlies this afternoon.

It's all good!

Have a great day...
