Sometimes I want everything to stay the same, and sometimes I can hardly wait for an exciting change. I'm likely not alone.
This weekend my family is moving house, but we’re taking along all our favourite comforts. This week we also committed to a new location for Around the Sound for the new year when the 9th Street bridge and intersection will be under construction. We’ll have all the things you’ve come to enjoy at Around the Sound and room for new delights and adventures. I look forward to your ideas for the new space.
This week we have lots of food for these cool damp evenings. Brenda has brought more of her delicious pies for you to bake yourself – chicken, lamb and the tortieres are back. Sara’s Incredible Edibles brings us family-size meat and seafood pies, lasagnes – meat, chicken or vegetable – and three flavours of quiche. In smaller sizes, we have Brenda’s pie “pods” in flavours like Taco Beef, Cajun Pork and Tortiere. Axel has small lamb pies with curry or peas and Sara has seafood, chicken and chicken shepherd’s pies.
The cheese fridge will be full this week. We’ll have all your Millbank favourites, from curds to organic cheddar with sundried tomatoes. Katie’s chevre is here – plain or with dill or garlic flowers. And Axel has a new labneh – a Lebanese sheep’s yogurt-based cheese with coriander and chile. Try it as a dip or on roasted vegetables.
Get your local garlic and find a cool dry place to store it before it's all gone.
Rachel is bringing a new treat this week – look in the fridge for her cheesecake pops! And keep a bag of New Moon cookies on hand – maybe the Mokas or Goldies – to go with a cup of Joanne’s locally blended tea.
The changing weather has inspired Aiyana from Eternal Bee to look after you with a new body lotion and lip balm, and Angela from Nature’s Gold invites you to try her natural moisturizing and healing salves. And be prepared for the sneeze season with a box of Cascades tissues, made with high recycled content.
And one last word on change…..Saturday is the International Day of Action on Climate Change and I invite you to join local student climate activist David Lawless and the Nagata Shachu Taiko Japanese Drumming Ensemble as they drum in the day at 4:30 at New Life Brethren Church in Collingwood. Those under 35 who attend the event will be gifted with a ticket to the 7:30 concert of the Taiko drummers. More details at www.georgianbayearthdays.org. This weekend is also the Go Green at Saugeen Environmental Forum in Port Elgin. More information at www.communityfoundationgreybruce.com. Tickets at Around the Sound.
Around the Sound Local Food Market is open Thursday and Friday from 10 until 7 and Saturday 10 until 4 at 972 1st Avenue West. You can reach us by phone at 519-370-2333 or by email at aroundsoundfood@gmail.com.
