Dawson Local Harvest:  Great Winter Salads and More!

Dawson Local Harvest for Feb. 10 th

Great Winter Salads and More!

HI EVERYBODY

Add some variety to your table this winter with easy and tasty salads. As an example our Hakurei Turnips are a wonderful taste treat with a little sweet-and-sour thing going on. Basically wash and cube 4-5 Turnips in boiling water 15 min., then cube a couple of Granny Smith or similar apples, about 4 oz. fresh or crushed pineapple, and a bunch of our Spring Green Onions chopped pretty fine. Just add 1/4 cup oil, 1/2 cup sugar, sweetener, or honey, 2 tbsp. water, and salt & pepper to taste and pour over the salad. Sounds odd, tastes, great!

THE MARKET WILL OPEN Sunday night at 8pm!

REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.

Have a happy and healthy week!

Champaign, OH:  Easy Like Sunday Morning

Ooh that’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning
That’s why I’m easy
I’m easy like Sunday morning!
(Easy-Commodores)

Did someone say to cue up my junior high slow dance music from the 1970s? Okay…it’s a perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday morning. Just listening to the Pop 40 tunes, remembering, laughing at the long forgotten dance dates, the bad fashion, (and, you know as much as I am your vintage go-to girl, there was some BAD fashion), the awkward moments of not being asked to dance, being the snack table girl, or being asked to dance but not from the crush of the week? Yes…that’s what I am dishin’ up, this morning.

But, easy Sunday mornings, to me, are crucial, to give yourself some down time, recharge time, permission to let things all slide, for a bit, or until noon, when you begin the panic that it really is Sunday, you can’t take it easy, all the live long day, and you need to get a plan of action started, pronto!

Let that plan of action involve this market, your shopping, and our smiles, fun, nutrition, amazing products, and ease of ordering/picking up!!

Our market continues to shine, and in the next few months, we will see the addition of new products from our local dairy producers, the seasonal produce growers will return, and we will all be happy, and dancing in the streets.

This week, put a little thought into the fact that Valentine’s Day will be approaching. Are you going to be making a sweetheart kind of dinner, do you need sweets for your sweet, love for your pets, gifts for the people you love the most? We seriously have it all!!

Make your love for this month of love, shine through from the love of this market!!

Ideas…spices for a Spice Up Your Love Life kind of theme! Sweets for the Sweet! You Light Up My Life…from a selection of our candles! You Are The Honey Of My Eye…from our honey vendors!! Scenting You All My Love…from our selection of soaps or essential oils!! Meat Me Under The Stars…either gift someone with a few choice selection of our local meat selections, OR plan to cook for your love. I Knead Your Love…bread! What’s more seductive than a freshly baked loaf of bread? You Are Berry Special!! Jams, jellies, and frozen berries!! You Are So Egg-cellent!! Turn someone on with local eggs!! Lettuce Me Turn You On…with a selection of local greens and lettuces!! Bark For My Love…pet treats!!

You get my drift…start your own love filled theme of ordering, this week…your sweetie will love you for it! And, a sweetie doesn’t even have to be your love interest…I mean, really, how many Valentine’s did I spend with no sweetie pie? Watching flowers being delivered to everyone but moi? For years, my pals and I just celebrated the amusement of no loves!! So, see, celebrate the love of friendship…

After all…love makes the world go round, it makes us think back to the world’s sappiest love songs, bringing it all back to this easy Sunday morning theme…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

It can be a difficult balance and I hope it shows in the quality and care that our vendors provide. Thank you for supporting the market and small businesses!
