Easy as pie - well, almost









There is a group of us who have stalls at the market and we have an agreement that we don’t rain on each others’ parades. While competition is the essence of a free market, there comes a point when one has to accept that sometimes competition for the sake of it is self-defeating. When the market (literally) is not big enough for four stall all selling cake, pies and confectionary. Yes, tastes differ, and bakers have different specialities, but when there is one particular baker in the village who’s literally defined by her chicken pies, it’s a recipe not to be messed with.

Anyhow, that’s not all she does: she also does small quiches and milk tarts. Two things I also make, but not usually for the market. This weekend past, she had a break and was absent from the market. It so happened that I had a quiet Friday (ha!), and the day was filled with baking for the market.

Oh, what a delightful day at your market! Everything looks positively scrumptious and I cannot imagine walking away empty-handed if I passed your booth!

I have no idea how long it takes you to bake these things, but, that would be the better part of my day. Oh, yikes!! I am so slow!

I love the sound of those pies. I can only imagine wrapping my lips around one of them! :)

Oh, I must be hungry! Thank you for your generous support that you give #MarketFriday, because if it weren't for people like yourself, the challenge would die.

I hope you have a most fabulous weekend!

Thanks so much, @dswigle.

You can't hurry cooking and baking, so yes, that took an entire day. Sold all, bar one which I claimed as a reward!

I will pop over and drop the link. I post before you, so....

Oh, I am sure it was worthy!!! You just can't hurry baking, which is one of my biggest problems. I need that time for right there that seems to be lost on me at the moment, but, thankfully there is always something good in your kitchen for me to gaze upon!

Thank you for that and thank you for dropping the link! xoxo @fionasavourites

You are very kind, Denise!

My stomach we feel happy with this nice food presented on those pictures.

You sell them on your local market each week-end?

If not those, other goodies like koeksisters, paté, homemade cottage cheese, preserves...every Saturday, yes

I would like to taste one of them but pretty sure you not in the same place as me. :)

I just saw that you are from South Africa and I am from Canada!

Are these foods.
Just wondering

Yes, the ones closest are a traditional custard type tart and the others savoury. I only sell food! Lol
