Greetings neighbors!
As the weather gets colder, home and hearth become more central in our homes. I find the bakery a nice place to hang out when the chill sets in, its very serene and cozy.
This week I have sprouted wheat multi-grain sourdough and classic ciabatta breads available on Tuesday and Thursday. The biscuit of the week is Grandma Cora's Scottish oat cookies, to satisfy a request. These cookies are a mingling of butter, toasted oats with a salty accent. They are wafer shaped and delicate and disappear from the cookie jar very rapidly. They are 1.00 each or 10.00 a dozen. Grandma called them salty oatmeals and they were often in her cookie jar when we visited her at her amazing canal home- half over the water and half on the land.
The trading system continues to grow and change as situations arise to point to the need for structure. Some trades are large scale and weekly bread trades need to accumulate, others are better traded on the short term. It's a bit of a dance to find out what works and I almost think it would be easier to just use the existing monetary system. This is, however an experiment and all learning is valuable. There are new cash customers each week which is also nice. Starting this week, I am going to feature trade customers on this site, since some of them are quite interesting characters.
