We are already past St.Valentine Day and speeding towards Easter. Covid-19 has us keeping our staff as small as possible so I am getting to make more of the sweets than before (BC19 as a new time reference?). Melissa had worked on the recipe for marshmallows for quite a while, all those years ago. She would have me tasting all the time, but it never really dawned on me what good marshmallows should be, until I started making them. Preserved soft meringue! Such a wonderful confection. We started making them to go with our hot chocolate but the are also great eaten alone. I just started making the spring/summer flavors, some of them should be ready next week.
Quite a few people, just recently, have been asking us when we will be reopening downtown. I think what people are really asking is, “When is this terrible mess going to be over? and When can we go back to normal? I’m with you. Every 6 weeks I think we will be reopening in 6 weeks. Good news is the number of Covid-19 cases are decreasing, but we are not even at the level we were at last summer. Business is just numbers and we are waiting for the numbers to be right. Believe me, when we are going to reopen, you will be hearing about it!
Peace and good health to you and yours, Tracy.
