Is it possible? that is the question.......After my Monday at the Washington County Fair, I would have to say, Yes, it is possible to have Too Much Chocolate. It all started a few weeks ago with a phone call at the bakery asking if I wanted to judge the baked goods at the County Fair. I have always been interested in getting involved in this, so I said yes. Not only would it be fun, it would get me involved in the community, and I would also get paid. I can always use some extra money, and that was just the icing on the cake so to speak!!! My manager decided to join me in judging so we would be partners in crime!!!
We started at 8:00 am. Breads were first, there were some good and of course some bad. We then moved onto muffins, quick breads, cookies-every type of cookie you could imagine, candy, pies and cakes. By the time we were done tasting and awarding blue ribbons, we were sick. Thinking we were done, all of a sudden we hear that we can move on to the Juniors now. It started all again, tasting everything in every catagory that I just tried only in the Junior division now! Oh my. Could I do it? We got the last catagory judged by 2:00 and wobbled out the door to the car.
I have to say that I was surprised how many people entered their goods in the fair. It was nice to see such a good turnout, and although I am burnt out on baked goods, there was some pretty decent baked items there, several of which I wanted the recipe for.
Next day at work, I don't even want to look at a cookie, or a donut or a cake, or a piece of bread. This may be a good thing for me and my diet!!!!...until next year!!!
