stormy kromer

continuing on the olympics theme,
Stormy Kromer (also known as the elmer fudd hat) was named the official lifestyle 
apparel sponsor of the 
USA ski jumping and the official fashion wear supplier of the women's 
ski jumping USA.
i learned of this last summer when we were in
mackinac at the
mackinac clothing store.

i was talking to the very nice lady as she was ringing me up
 and she asked where we were
from.
i told her and said we hadn't been back in mackinaw since our honeymoon
many, many many years ago.
as i was telling her this another
women walked by and chimed in
that she hadn't been back to mackinaw since her honeymoon.
she looked to be in her late 70's.
 the shop lady said oh, how long have you been married?
she replied 8 weeks.  : )

they are made in the good ol' USA
history here

here is the olympic version.
 this year is the 1st time the women's ski jumping team is competing in the olympics.
my grandpa and uncles were ski jumpers.
little partial to this event.

time for tea mr. carson




all set.
ready for downton abby tonight.

my new favorite tea time treat is
crackers, spread with mascarpone 
and a dab of quince and apple's "tart cherry and white tea" preserves.
it's like a bite of cherry pie.

i am hoping my jar lasts the season.....

quince and apple is a local business right here in madison, wi.
the owners were featured on "wisconsin foodie" the other night.
back in the day they worked at potters crackers putting in an 8 hour day, then when the day job was 
finished they started making preserves and would work until 2 in the morning.
long work day.

i just checked their website, they have  products in many 
shops around the us, plus they ship.

on with the show!
