October is my favorite month of fall! The leaves are changing, it's still warm out some days, and there are numerous festivals and fall activities! The past few weekends have been perfect for apple picking and festivals! This past Sunday Kim, our friend Alissa, two students (Natalie and Allie), and I went to the Johnny Cake Festival in West Kingston, RI. Most students at Johnson & Wales don't have cars, so this was a great opportunity for them to do something outside of Providence for the day.
I was really excited to go and told everyone I was going to some cornbread
festival.....Apparently, Johnny Cakes are cornmeal pancakes, not cornbread. However, no one felt the need to correct me until the day of the festival. I was tricked into this idea of it being cornbread by my Serendipity cookbook, which clearly shows a picture of cornbread and a recipe called "Johnny Cakes". It might as well be called "Lies."
On our walk from the car to the festival I found a Rhode Island license plate on the ground---free wall decoration! The festival was small, but had a lot of local vendors with local art and food. The first booth had alpaca products and two real alpacas! This was one of my favorite booths, along with a local photographer, and the free Johnny Cake samples!
It was a great day to be outside and enjoy the goodness of Fall!
