I'm excited about the inaugural Catskill Repair Cafe on Nov 9th. This is a free community event where you bring your broken, but loved item and volunteer repair coaches help you fix it! It's an international movement started in Amsterdam in 2009 and there are now over 3,000 worldwide. Bring items that need a little sewing or fixing like a broken lamp, bike, jewelry, etc. I volunteered & I hope you do too. Especially needed are electricians, mechanical fixers, sewer/mender, jewelry fixer and anyone else that has a skill they'd like to share. Contact Jackie Arsenuk, the Coordinator, at www.repaircafehv.org/catskill for more information or to volunteer. More about this when we get closer to the date.
HERE'S WHAT I'M BAKING THIS WEEK
I post each week's menu on Monday; orders must be in by 5 pm Wednesday and pick-up is Friday afternoon in Catskill Village. I hand bake small batches in limited quantities using fresh ingredients (local when possible) with no preservatives. First come, first served. Cash or Venmo only.
RUGELACH $5/pkg 4 oz
The classic real deal, individually handmade with cream cheese dough that bakes into a super flaky pastry. Filled with golden raisins, toasted walnuts, Saigon cinnamon and apricot jam that melts in your mouth. Because they're baked fresh, you can freeze them too.
BIG COOKIES $3 each or 4/$10
CHOCOLATE ORGASM
My signature cookie that I've been baking since 1999. It's a chocoholic's fantasy come true...mostly melted Belgium bittersweet chocolate surrounding chunks of more chocolate, toasted almonds and just enough flour to hold it together. Too satisfying to share...maybe.
CATSKILL CATS
These whimsical multi-colored felines are sugar cookies who love to honor their home town of Catskill in a delicious way. Colors vary.
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHUNK
These soft chewy peanut butter cookies would be great by themselves BUT they're even better with big chunks of Belgium chocolate throughout. If PB is your fav, and chocolate is your co-pilot, these are for you!
OATMEAL RAISIN WALNUT
A classic that was my husband's favorite cookie...the toasty warmth of hearty oatmeal embellished with juicy raisins and crunchy toasted walnuts is filling, but you can always find room for another.
PEACH STREUSEL MUFFIN $3 SOLD OUT
It's peach season so what better way to celebrate than with a delicious muffin surrounded by warm spices, a streusel top and a hint of vanilla icing. Yum!
LOADED BLONDIE $3
When you want something caramelly (is that even a word?) but with some surprises inside, look no further than a chocolate brownie's cute sister, the blondie, sporting some chips, coconut and walnuts in her soft center under that crisp shell.
