This year in an effort to maximize our limited time at home, we pre-ordered our Cub Scout popcorn, filled the wagon and went door-to-door on our street with the inventory to sell versus the traditional order form/deliver a month later method. This cute little Cub Scout sold more than half of his wagon load that way. His operations manager (mom) needs to order more lower priced items next year; the $25 bag of caramel chocolate and the $60 Blackhawks tin didn't sell as well as the $10 and $20 items. Hence, me now being the owners of a Blackhawks tin of popcorn (and the other multi-packs). Totally worth it though. We only did a few hours of work and he earned his coveted Kylo Ren light saber "free gift." And my teams at work have enjoyed the assorted popcorn snacks! Hope my Indiana family knows that Blackhawks tin is coming to the holidays!
We did join the Wolf Den for a backyard campfire - complete with a smoky fire pit - of games, silly songs and skits, and snacks with the boys and their families. Our den is such a great group of people; we really enjoy hanging out with them. Everyone bought delicious fall treats - mostly sweets - but I brought a sunchoke spinach dip. The sunchoke (aka Jerusalem artichoke) was from my CSA box, and the recipe from a friend. This week was my first experience with that veggie (I think it's a vegetable at least. . . ) but it looks a lot like ginger root and cooked up like a boiled potato. In the dip it tasted like artichoke but smooth with none of the strings of a traditional artichoke.
