dang it!

hoped i might get access to a friend's licensed kitchen. would have allowed me to bake my hand-crafted, twice-baked crackers without a lot of expensive access fees ~ the c&s club charges $100 per afternoon. ouch!!

alas, the friends very practically declined. makes sense. and brings home to me ~ again ~ the all too obvious reality that i haven't a purely practical bone in my body. i lead with the heart, not the head. we rep the friend's bbq sauce at our village market vendor spot not because we are such magnanimous type people but because it was the right thing to do.

which is the interesting place this takes us - determining the right thing to do seems 99.99% subjective. to me, providing the space for the bbq sauce was a no-brainer ~ just the right thing to do because we have the space & can help our friends. to them, letting me use their licensed kitchen was a non-starter because of its adverse impact. as i'd ask my dvhs students time & again when presenting two different points of view on some historical issue - which was right? reality is that both had their points, depending on your perspective.

dang it - would have been such a neat & tidy, even karmic solution. ah well, onward with hope!
