The hot turkey sandwiches are over at our house, but today we ate the first bowl of turkey soup...mmmmm. The Amish Country noodles made with Grassroots spelt really hold up in a bowl of soup. They are great under a sauce too - fresh tomato, or maybe a stroganoff made with the Organic Meadow sour cream.
We have tortillas in the freezer for wraps or Marjenny's wheat-free crepes for my favourite left-over turkey recipe.
Have a warm dinner ready when you get home in the chilly dusk. Lamb shanks, elk osso bucco, stewing beef or pork roasts are all great in the crock pot. Sausages are a quick alternative - we have lots of delicious variations in elk, venison and pork and now Axel's new rosemary or hint of mint lamb sausages.
Look for Joy's roasted garlic. You can keep it in your freezer for a quick addition to your favourite recipe.
Apples from Soundview Orchard are still varied and plentiful, and we have all the ingredients for a great crisp for dessert - oats, sugar, butter, flour and cinnamon. As always, you don't have to bake. Rachel is bringing tarts with a sugar cookie-type base, pastry cream and fresh fruit, and Trudy promises we won't run out of your favourite cranberry oat cookies. Thanks to both of these great bakers for crowning our Thanksgiving dinner so deliciously!
Trudy has also brought us back our local peaches and plums, some beautifully canned and some made into "Around the Sound Autumn Glory Fruit Spread". I hope this is the beginning of many more delights from the local garden available to Owen Sounders all year round.
Please welcome Kelda back to Around the Sound. She packed her bags in Calgary and is here to stay in Owen Sound and help us at the store. I might be willing to share her a little if someone is looking for that kind of intelligent dream employee who follows directions and takes initiative and doesn't stop until the job is done.
Around the Sound is open Thursday and Friday from
10 until 7 and Saturday 10 until 4 at 972 1st Avenue West (one block north of the library where the Great Annual Book Sale starts next Thursday!)
Please feel free to call us at 519-370-2333 or email at aroundsoundfood@gmail.com.
See you soon.
