And we’re off to Adderbury Community Food Market as it’s the
second Thursday of the month and a busy day leads us on to an exciting evening,
for we’re not just having supper with
friends, taking photos and chatting to everyone as we try and buy….oh no, no
no!
With most of the regular Market team away, we were also helping to set-up the
market itself and then being let loose on the market floor behind the bread
stall of Cornfield Bakery in charge of sales for the evening. And what fun we had
We were second only to Cornfield Bakery getting into The
Institute that evening to get out the long tables for stalls and, busying
ourselves thus, I did not see how very quickly others turned up to organise the
table and stall set-up, when stallholders themselves got to work on their stalls
and their display.

Very quickly the
Market came into being, stallholders were in charge and raring to go and the
Ladies of Smart Cookies were settled into the kitchen busy with their supper arrangements as the
first market visitors poured into The Institute.

I very quickly took my place behind the golden crust shapes
before me and felt at home. Bread is
such a comfort food, an enhancer of life, a glorious filler-up for an empty
vessel and a delicious accompaniment to a bowl of steamily seductive soup or a
rich and deeply glossy casserole. And
toast……oh the agonies of delight of that particular food-thrill!!

Well the bread “flew-off the shelves” to quote a much-used
modern shopping phrase. Our table was
depleted, only three loaves left to sell and the hour was still young. It was time for supper, time for my sale companions
to man the stall and time for chatter.....

I made for the gallery with my prize-win plate of hot
Spanish Chicken and Chorizo and happy family chit-chat.
A very good end to an excellent day….with photos taken by the dear SO
for somehow I’d forgotten iPhone and camera which to me is akin to forgetting keys, cards and water.
Well, it happens, hey ho!
