Loads of Lemons

There's a harvest of tart going on right now. Gregarious and bold, friendly with so many foods, lemons declare their potent flavors with puckering yellow audacity this time of year.

 

IN THIS ISSUE, we've set out to enjoy lemons in every way possible. You'll find lemons for every course set on the table, from appetizer, to soup, salad, entrée, dessert, and sweet snacks. Join us as we explore this fabulous fruit.

 Ken's Notes:
Ken's NotesWe're finally starting to get some inventory back into the store after the craziness of the holidays. Here's a quick overview of what's come in this past week.

Pizza Stone
One of our new favorites, the Emile Henry Pizza Stone, allows you to makes brick-oven style pizzas in ovens and on grills. They heat up in 15 minutes, clean easily and are light weight. Available in Black, olive and red

ElevateFrom Joseph Joseph comes the Elevate Carosel Set of Utensils. Their unique design allows you to lay them down on the counter and the working end always stays up in the air, away from the counter surface.

Their Square Colanders fit easily in sink corners and take up a lot less space when stored away.

One of the new vendors we picked up in Atlanta imports acacia wood bowls and trays from SE Asia. Acacia has the look and feel of mahogany, is fast-growing and harvested from Woodprivately owned land. All of the pieces are hand-made and very reasonably priced.
 

Hope to see you soon -- Thanks for your support!
