Suffice it to say - much planning, targeted marketing and a whole lot of hard work from my committee members resulted in complete success.<br /><br />Today, honestly I've been basking in our success - it really feels good to have pulled this off - without team work it would have never gotten off the ground. We're such a creative group that despite our success yesterday, today the emails have been faced paced with new ideas to add to the market.<br /><br />Tonight - a little time to relax. For dinner we had a fantastic tart made by my new market friend, Gil - all locally sourced ingredients including the butter, cream , lard, and flour. It was filled with earthy mushrooms and a tangy chevre. Check out his <a href="http://phillymarketcafe.blogspot.com/">blog</a>! Don't you love his label! I've been following Gil's blog for over a year and never put 2 and 2 together when we invited him to the market.<br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Owner/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNnFzYVvIjs5ZF7a2ncy67ZkkMsJEX5o9qWVmNXFjWhqks6c6LQsJMvs7eJp2bLpMpIjjjFGtRaG3nKy2DpHrX__nfvqwN88NqnG7_SdVx6H1B-ZmkfLMYRi-3PIZGeuZCxpzeVvV0uJB7/s400/market+day+tart+copy.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 279px; height: 389px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNnFzYVvIjs5ZF7a2ncy67ZkkMsJEX5o9qWVmNXFjWhqks6c6LQsJMvs7eJp2bLpMpIjjjFGtRaG3nKy2DpHrX__nfvqwN88NqnG7_SdVx6H1B-ZmkfLMYRi-3PIZGeuZCxpzeVvV0uJB7/s400/market+day+tart+copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Right now my husband and I are sitting on the patio - what an incredible night - just finished a cup of espresso prepared with Joe's Honduras Dark coffee from the market.
