These are my Mom's date cookies. She used to make them for us at Christmas. I took these cookies in to the Fair for a special baking contest. I did not place...out of fifteen entries. Boo hoo. Be we ate the leftovers with glee! Out of the regular judging, my zucchini bread did not place, either.
My corn relish took a blue. Yea!
My apple pie took a second place.
Orange marmalade took third place.
So did my banana nut bread butter.
I couldn't find my hot pepper relish. So all in all...I did pretty good. Out of six regular entries, I placed with four.
I still have one more chance to get a blue for my apple pie...on the 27th. But that is after the open call for NFNS 8.
It proves to be another big week.

Today...I am taking in my Fair entries. Hot pepper relish, corn relish, orange marmalade, and banana nut bread butter.
Next Wednesday is the baking stuff...apple pie and zucchini bread.
Then...the next week is my application for the Next Food Network Star. I am hoping this year...I will get what I want. My own TV show would be good.
What I really want is to buy the two acres next door and build a 'canning shed' where I can teach canning lessons. Maybe even film my show in it so I can stay here and have a life.
I can 'see' it in my head...just waiting for it to be a reality.
