The week of flavored things.

Bazaar!!!

The most MInnesota thing in the world. The church Bazaar.  Knitted hanging towel things (I know what I mean my mom has one). Crocheted doilies and lopsided washcloths. fleeces hats in the shape of dachounds. \ But first we purchased the required lefse to blend in with the bazaar dwellers, there is nothing more Minnesotan that a Lutheran( I think I might have been Lutheran) church bazaar armed with a bag of lefse.  Oh, wait. yes there is something that makes it even more Minnesotan. That would be the honey mustard table conversation: We taste the mustard. The table woman comes over. Woman: You girls try the mustard? Me: Yes, it is good. Woman: Oh, but is has quick a zip too it huh?  (the mustard tasted like mustard) Woman: But think of what that would be like on chicken fingers.  End. The novelty of 'zippy' foods.  And after consuming a caramel roll and pecan pie, I learned that those two sweets are very similar with their nuts and the caramel or caramel like paste.
