The Co-op is looking for help from its Culinary Wizards.

Now that we've had a chance to establish ourselves, I thought it would be interesting to try a bit of an expansion. Apparently it's just more fun living on the edge

I've reserved a small stall (LI=20) at the G&S Co-op Market which will be available in about two days. The main objective is to give us an opportunity to "advertise" our existence with a nice looking display and information about the Hamlet.

I have no idea if we will actually sell anything but we can always hope.

I was thinking it would be interesting to have one "special" food item from each member that was interested in participating. By special I was thinking of the Secret Recipes.

Here's a first guess at what some members can produce:

• Tat - Large Roasted Chicken with Stuffing
• Claire-Sophie - Cake House
• Elisabeth - Cream Rolls
• Stangbo - Lobster w Oysters or Pretzel

This leaves a number of Secret Recipes open for other members to try and I'd like to get as many members involved as we can.

As a start, the Co-op can probably buy up to 4 of each of these at wholesale prices (half the retail price).

If you're interested in helping out please contact me.

Thanks!

Tat

Three weeks into our expansion and it's going really well!

Most popular items (in no particular order):

• Mead
• Sake
• Great Reserve Wine
• Cheese
• Milk
• Pretzels

I'm thinking of expanding with the addition of another 20 prim stall adjacent to our current one or perhaps a larger 60 prim stall if one becomes available.

I was wondering if members had any preference for what was sold. Is there anything that you're keen to produce? Tools? Thread? More food items? Other? The Co-op would purchase these wholesale and take the responsibility of selling them retail.

Hearty congratulations to the QH Co-op Members! Our first outlet stall is up & running. Only G&S farmers/artisans can truly appreciate all the time & effort that goes into producing one little item, especially the "secret" ones.

You were all more than up to the challenge and I think we will make an excellent first impression on those just discovering our little venture.

To visit at http://bit.ly/1TL5KGv teleport once (bringing you to the central location) and then again with the same link to get to the stall.

Thanks!!

A quick update ...

everyone has accepted the challenge and are busily learning & preparing their secret somethings!

We've also added Una (Custard Rolls) and Jane (Sweet Kiss Cake).

Many thanks to all of our intrepid volunteers. I know we're going to have a great opening day!
