Friday Photo Post – Stormont County Fair Edition

Just a few days past the two-year anniversary of our moving Out Here, I’m about to participate in one of the time-honoured traditions of country life, competing in the County Fair.

None of our vegetables measure up to competition standard, I’m afraid (maybe next year), but I decided to have a go at the “Culinary Arts” section. I stuck to things I had already made (in the case of the bottled goods) or things I normally make regularly (in the case of the baking). This still meant I spent all day yesterday baking, in 30°C heat, to get everything made. My entries are as follows:

1 – ½ loaf of white bread

2 – ½ loaf of 60% whole wheat bread

3 – ½ loaf of zucchini bread, with raisins

4 – peanut butter cookies, pressed with a fork, 3 on a plate

5 – oatmeal cookies, dropped, with raisins, 3 on a plate

6 – 1 jar of applesauce

7 – 1 jar of apple jelly

8 – 1 jar of any jam or jelly not listed (I am submitting plum jam)

I’m off to deliver these to the fairgrounds. I probably won’t know until Saturday how I did (though I’m really not expecting to win anything, this first time). Wish me luck!
