Expanding the business

Have you tried peanut brittle or toffee before? If you haven't I'm sure you'll like what we have prepared in the kitchen! For many maybe you have tried our peanut brittle.


I'm currently constructing a blog for DD's Desert Delights. Its amazing how far this wonderful business has come. Every story has a beginning tho right? So I'll tell you my side of the story because on the new blog you'll be reading Sis. Deborah Davie's story.

For me it started off as a silly idea. One night on my way out to eat. I was with my friend Andrew Castillo where anything can happen. We decided that we would help them cook!
Really anything is possible.



 
We continued talking about their business wondering how do they cook it and  why is it so successful at farmers markets? Little did I know what I would be getting myself into. On my 20th Birthday I took the day off from work and went to go help cook. Well, cooking for me started with washing dishes. Each week I learned something new and soon started hosting different events on my own.




It started off easy doing a gun show. I was excited, but at the same time nervous not knowing what to expect. Soon Glendale Glitters came. What a life changing event! There is so much to do there prepping for the event, keeping up with the crowds, and all the while have fun. I met and made an awesome friend Laura.

We made a great team selling brittle and set records that we hope to break once again. If I could do it all over again? Of course I would do it! It has almost been two years since I've started and it has been fun. I've grown in many ways because there always was a challenge. When you get to make people smile, given free food from other vendors and other goodies its the adventure of a lifetime.  Until next time I can't wait!

No stories to tell

The last few months it feels like there are no stories to tell. Working various hours in the pharmacy and pursuing other interest I forgot about blogging for a while. Yet, as I was going thru my pictures on my Iphone I realized there are stories to tell. So with all the photos from my Instagram it's time to use them on my blog.



I'm sure by now everyone has an Instagram. For me it made photography so much more fun. Every day was a challenge to be more creative and a free ticket to travel the world! Now that I don't have the app on my phone, it's weird having all the extra time. Might as well start blogging again. So here I am again and hope to keep the stories coming.
