Day 12: Wednesday, 28 May 2008




All preparations were made last night for spicy ginger cookies, using a previously tested recipe that yields crispy, albeit buttery cookies. Sign repainted and new glass container with narrow neck found to replace burnt/cut plastic one.
19 cookies put out around 9am. Glass $ container set down on table top with hot glue so that one would need quite a bit of time and a high heat device or possibly very sharp object to remove it.
Call from gallery owner around 4pm informed that the guard across the street had witnessed a street addict trying to steal the $ container three times throughout the day. A kind neighbor took the tray and $ container into her house to protect them, since all treats by that time had been taken.
Sign collected and kiosk brought into gallery around 7pm. $ container and tray remain with the neighbor for the time being.
Preparations for tomorrow's special, "everything but the kitchen sink" cookies. An invented recipe using a variety of dried fruits, nuts, chocolate, etc. First batch yielded excellent results, but for second batch ran low on coconut oil and results were a bit more crunchy.
Sign sanded and repainted. Cookies bagged and website written on the outside. Heavy duty plastic jar will be used for $ container. The lid is very tight with a slit cut for the $.
