How Sweet It Is!

Yes indeed, sweet it is, and on several counts...

1) Benedict's Bakery had its' first sale last Friday.  In preparation, the Dough Dough Girls baked their hearts out and laughed their heads off while doing it...what fun we all have!

A portion of our products

3) The baked goods themselves were sweet - pecan rolls, cinnamon buns, scones, quick breads (three kinds) pecan pies and tarts, bars (lemon, apple-nut bars, almond, British Flapjacks and brownies - mini bundt cakes, pineapple upside down cake, two kinds of cookies, bran and blueberry muffins, as well as biscotti, pecan brittle and angle bliss.  In addition, although not sweet, there was Monks bread, baguettes, and artisan breads.  (Are you tired just thinking about it, or hungry hearing about it?!)

3) There were big smiles all around when the total was tallied...$680.00!  This, and the fact that we have a good time together, makes it all worth while.  It is our way of helping this small, yet very dear, Monastery.

4) And, as I write, it is 70.9 with the weather to hover in the low 70's for the rest of the week...talk about sweet!
