I just flew back from the Not Ketchup Tour O' Texas, and boy, are my arms tired.
{ba-dum bum}
Seriously though...my arms are tired. As are my legs, my feet, my back, and my brain.
My 12-year-old son and I went to Texas to demo Not Ketchup, my new line of artisan fruit ketchups, at all nine Central Market gourmet superstores. Nine stores in five cities in 12 days. At each six-hour demo, we gave out between 500 and 800 samples.
I'm not great at math, but I'm pretty sure that adds up to four aching feet, 12 hours of staring into space and babbling incoherently, and three or four well-deserved naps this coming weekend.
The trip was a huge success. Central Market's customers loved Not Ketchup and bought a ton of it. My son Weston was the best sales associate ever - he charmed the pants off every customer we met. We got comments on Facebook from Central Market customers like this:
And this:

I have these new sort of super premium hot dogs, and I plan to grill them up and slice them and dip them little doggies in the NK!
On turkey burgers
I think it would be delicious on a Polish sausage
Grilled boneless pork chops. Because that would be the least possible effort a girl could expend and still produce dinner.
Actually @Sarah we served just that at Central Market San Antonio - the customers absolutely loved the combination! Smoky Date was the favorite that day by a landslide.
Burgers of all sorts! :)
On a burger or potatoes
on french fries! grilled fish! onion rings! craftsman and wolves haute dog!
I would start with burgers and let my imagination go from there.
Lego and Not ketchup! Why didn't I think of that. GREG
@Greg I know, right? I see some co-promotions in my future....
