and then there was PARKSALE
Learning from indie-mart, we took our mini picnic baskets one step further, this time, and filled them with avocado onigiri. They looked oh-so-cute and somewhat Japanese, too. We also had a platter of freshly sliced avocado on ciabatta bread, dripped with lemon juice and seasoned with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to add to our table of treats. I say table, I actually mean a collection of vegetable packaging cardboard boxes we picked up from Safeway, draped with a large white sheet - the designer in me likes to call it "Ephemeral Architecture At Its Best".
In an arena full of other independent artists and designers, food was quite obviously our creative edge.
As a means to discover other foodies, the purpose of our spot at PARKSALE was, once again, to get people to associate our brand with food. But not just any food. Tasty food!
And if it's still not obvious yet: Yes, we've been busy working on an avocado study for our first copy. Hence the chocolate avocado truffles! Speaking of which, I will be uploading instructions on how to make those, soon. So keep an eye out.
Thanks to everyone who came by to talk to us, especially those who dared to try my chocolate avocado surprise (the truffles)! Chocolate and avocado certainly sounds like a weird combination, but I can assure you that every single person who tried them, loved them. If you don't believe me now, just try making them and you'll see for yourselves!
Fun times were had by all: Lika had a great time indulging in our various tasty treats, as you can see in the photos, while Justine busied herself with photo taking throughout the day.
And big thanks goes to Jeff, who not only hand-made the onigiri but also helped us spread the word "nyummm!" like wildfire throughout the PARKSALE grounds! He even attempted to perform a little juggling act with the avocado seeds, I guess to prove that we're THAT resourceful! I only wish I had caught it on video camera. It was funny.
Meanwhile, our avocado study continues...
