State Fair Blue Ribbon African Violets

Not food related, but I love going to the Minnesota State Fair on the days African Violets are being shown. These are not the typical flowering kind. Mine typically die. Click on the picture and note the unusual glossy leaves on the smaller dark green violet in the cup.  If only all my baked goods could turn out so naturally beautiful!!

  1. Hi! I just clicked over here from Cookie Madness and had to say hi. I'm also from Minnesota and I have a blog called Basically Baked that I post recipes at from time to time.
    Couldn't help but notice your beach photo. Don't you wish you were there about now? It sure is cold today!!

  2. Just in case you don't see the replies I left at Basicallbaked I want to say again how excited I am that you're blogging. I've read your comments on Cookie Madness and I think I'll learn a lot from you! Welcome to blogging. I'll add you to my blogroll if that's okay with you?
