This morning, five members of our group and one of the social workers went to the home of a baker affiliated with Common Hope. She has four kids, and more importantly to Jack and Mantha, two ducks, two chickens, a dog, and a cat with three 8-day-old kitties. We mixed and kneaded the dough, cut out and filled the doughnuts and empanadas, ultimately got to eat them. Muy delicioso. Now I really miss the Krispy Kreme that used to be in Eden Prairie.
Her little boy would stand next to the table with his head just peeking over the top and watching. She normally sells doughnuts and pastries and sandwiches just outside the schools, and she's been doing it for three years. She normally uses a gas-powered oven about 3 feet cubed, and a four-burner stove with a roasting pan full of vegetable oil to fry the doughnuts. The really cool part is that the social worker is going to arrange for her to sell items on the Common Hope campus with other affiliated vendors, and perhaps even Saturday morning. That should be especially helpful when their school year ends in a few months.
