It's time to play with puppets & peppers

This coming weekend is the March ArtWalk in the Village of the Arts (FRI 6-9:30pm and SAT 11-4pm). On Saturday the Village will be participating in ArtSlam, a day of interactive art, with our theme of PUPPET POWER. At 2pm there will be a parade through the Village featuring giant puppet heads. There will be many FREE PUPPET MAKING STATIONS throughout the Village. I will have TWO PUPPET STAGES set up in front of the former BONNI BAKES BAKERY/CAFE building at 930 12th St W.
                                          For the littlest munchkins, these 3 panels from a child's playhouse will be attached and form a PUPPET STAGE where they can open the shutters and perform with their puppets. Thanks to Mark Piers, who provided & painted the panels. It's wonderful living in an art colony with so many talented people who believe that "it takes a Village", and are willing to help. In addition,
I'm creating a larger PUPPET THEATER that will allow several people to perform together.  If you'd like to help me run the show on Sat from 12-4, please let me know. I certainly could use the help!  More details about events that day, and the FREE TROLLEY to/from the Riverwalk, at www.villageofthearts.com

Because I'll be busy with the puppeteers on Saturday, I won't have time to bake bread for Sunday at the Palma Sola Farmers Market. So this week's bread (Minorcan Multi-Grain) will only be available for Friday pick-up.



My lovely Keitt mango tree is full of blossoms. Frequently we get a wind storm around this time of year that blows them off and delays production. If young fruits form and hang in there, we could be enjoying those juicy sweet mangoes by early summer.

At long last I'm almost ready to pick the six enormous red peppers that grew on a single plant, and are finally ripe. I want to make something worthy out of them...have any suggestions?

When I had a hankering for a decadent dessert, I spread some of my Blueberry Lemon Jam over a plain slice. YUMMY! Hope to see you Saturday in the Village when you get your puppet on. Or Sunday at the farm, where the baby goats rule.

Here's what I'm making this week in my kitchen: 

BLUEBERRY LEMON MUFFIN    $2
Light up your life when you bite into these ever sunny muffins; studded with fresh plump blueberries in the embrace of a delicate lemon muffin. They're sure to make you smile ;-)



CRANBERRY CORN MUFFIN TOPS     $3/pkg    
The perfect partner to a quick breakfast alongside cereal, eggs or coffee. Toast it until the outside is crunchy for best flavor. Two muffin tops per package let you share, if you're feeling generous.


PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BLONDIE    $2.50
It's the perfect storm of chocolate & peanut butter coming together in a convenient hand held blondie bar. Wonderful alongside a glass of milk, fresh fruit or just satisfying on its own.


THE BIG COOKIE    $1.50 
Individually wrapped & available in the following flavors:  Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Orange Belgium Dark Chocolate Walnut, Oatmeal Raisin Walnut, Snickerdoodle, Pecan Coconut Belgium Milk Chocolate

CHOCOLATE ORGASM COOKIES    $5/pkg
My legendary chocolate delivery system made from melted Belgium Bittersweet chocolate, toasted fresh almonds, chocolate chips & very little flour. Sold in packages because you must have more than one.


MINORCAN MULTI-GRAIN  [VEGAN]  $4.50    FRIDAY ONLY
Inspired by a bread in Spain, this crusty loaf hides a soft interior flecked with almost a dozen types of grains and seeds. Great sandwich loaf and toasting really brings out all of the complex flavors.


ROAST GARLIC BLUE CHEESE BREADSTIX     $4/pkg
Enjoy the subtle dance as warm roasted garlic plays against the sharp Gorgonzola in your mouth...and they're crunchy to boot! Perfect partner to soup, salad or a drink. 


HOMEMADE  JAM, CHUTNEY & MARINADE     $4/jar
This week's flavors are:  Mango ChutneyGinger Pear ChutneyTropical Tangerine MarinadeStrawberry  Mango CardamomBlueberry Lemonand Strawberry Balsamic Black Pepper (wonderful with sharp cheese as an appetizer).
