oo'mämē
|
We had a visit from Mark Engel, the owner of Fifth Taste Food, maker of oo'mämē Chili Crisps,
|
who was interested in sampling a new meat substitute he's producing. We were able to give him the feedback that we think our members will LOVE these new products, which is what he needed to hear to make the leap to scale up production, and we are looking forward to offering it whenever it's ready.
|
|
We also had the good fortune of trying out all four of the oo'mämē Chili Crisps, and are please to offer them in the store. We're able to offer a better price than many retailers, so get your goods here! Check out the varieties in the Canned/Dried/Frozen Produce & Condiments Category of the online store.

Eat Salad, Often
|
|
It's officially salad season. That means it's time to start using a bed of lettuce as the base for every meal. This blog will help you figure out how to get through all the greens we're starting to see in the shares, and not just get through them, but enjoy them to the fullest.

|
Asian Lettuce Wraps
|
|
|
Whenever there is bibb or butterhead lettuce available, I fantasize about lettuce wraps--especially since we started carrying the oo'mämē Chili Crisps. You can wrap anything in a lettuce leaf, really, just make it a fun, communal meal in which everyone gets to participate in the assembly of their own wraps. Read more

How to Prep Bamboo Shoots

Ozark Forest Bamboo Shoots: Peel the outer layers off to reveal the pretty green shoots. Slice into rings and bring to a boil in water with sea salt. …

My friend told me I should post a Daily Salad Recipe because my salads are always so delicious. My mother-in-law always wants me to make the salad when we're visiting, and I have to admit, I often prefer my own salad to any I eat in a restaurant. What's the secret? Variety. If you have a good variety of greens, such as a couple lettuce types, spinach, arugula, maybe kale, cabbage or bok choy, you don't need a whole lot of toppings. If you have only a simple lettuce salad, doll it up with some different veggies, nuts, fresh or dried fruit, cheese, hot peppers, and of course, a delicious salad dressing. It can be simple, like my go to of date syrup and balsamic vinegar or you could try one of the delicious new dressings from An Olive Ovation. You'd better go ahead and start upping your salad game now because lettuce and greens season is upon us!

Happy Mother's Day
|
Don't forget to order your mom some Baklava from the Bakery Category. Or perhaps she's more of a chocolate lover and would appreciate Bittersweet Artisan Lava Cakes. Okay, both.

Bison Note
Jim Sample of Meramec Bison has informed us that his wife Joan had a bad accident and he'll be caring for her, so they are giving up the biz. The only bison he currently has is from in S. Dakota. We offered to take it, so don't be alarmed if you see that. It's happy meat and we're helping our local bison farmer. We wish Joan a speedy recovery.

Stay tuned for news on our new bison farmer, who is a Fair Shares member turned rancher!
