Locavore odds and ends
2010 February 5
Are you looking forward this weekend’s snowstorm? I saw on the news today that something like 22 of the 26 biggest snow storms since 1888 have all been on the weekend. I may have the exact number and date wrong, but that’s the gist of it. Odd, isn’t it?
I’m all ready for the weekend. We’re stocked with food, wine, DVD’s and good books.
- Last week, I mentioned the Wine & Chocolate weekends that many of our wineries are having this weekend and next. I thought they were worth another mention. I’d definitely call ahead this weekend if you’re venturing out to make sure the snow hasn’t shut your destination down.
- There’s a prepared food store in Haddonfield that I’ve been in a few times called Apron. I’ve been meaning to talk to them there about what they do for a piece for this blog. They use fresh, seasonal ingredients and their website says “they are proud to be able to make use of the many natural resources of the Garden State.” They have a special Valentine’s menu (opens to PDF) with four different dinner menus and one breakfast in bed menu. Deadline to order is Feb. 10.
- You can have a light dinner at Mirabella Cafe in Cherry Hill – a member of South Jersey Green Dining – and learn “How to Implement the Whole House Approach to Energy Efficiency” at the same time. On Thursday, Feb 18th the restaurant will be hosting the event. Click here for more information and pricing.
That’s it for this week. Enjoy your weekend.
