Remember that Around the Sound is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week from 9 until 6.

If your house is getting full, be sure to pick up one of Sara's lasagnes or Brenda's meat pie for a quick dinner.

For the main event, there are still a few turkeys available, and pick up your free poultry seasoning package. Kelsey has brought stuffing cubes, packages of "company buns" and beautiful spelt pie crusts. There are still Jamaican Rum cakes, mince pies, Christmas pudding with rum sauce, cranberry ginger oat squares, brownies and gingerbread, if you've run out of time to bake.

Ontario potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes, parsnips and beets are in the back room. Try them roasted in olive oil with garlic.

We have Ontario cabbage too. Try some of Ken's Wow Wasabi Sauce or Goop in your regular coleslaw recipe.

For those who were fighting over the last jar - and you know who you are - there are some more plums in. Look for peaches too, perfect on lemon frozen yogurt with a drizzle of Raspberry Drizzle.

There are pickled local plums too - a great accompaniment to meat, then save the liquid and reduce it for a great ham glaze.

Don't forget the eggs for Boxing Day brunch - nothing will be open.

Lots of samples this week, and stocking stuffers like Ontario peanuts and maple butter samplers - all marked with a red arrow. Treat the cat to local catnip in her stocking.

Meredith has brought all three larger sizes of ginger syrup - she's run out of wee jars for the "popper" size last I heard.

Just call or write if you need anything - 370-2333 - aroundsoundfood@gmail.com.

Se you soon.
