What a relief this spring is!
Watching the world come back to life vibrantly and noisily has been just a joy. The return of the Tuesday/Friday market brings so much joy, not that the Saturday market isn’t great, but is an incredible privilege to have almost daily access to fresh local food.
Speaking of access to food, Mid Coast Hunger Prevention is having an event- a benefit auction
“Plates of Plenty”
June 20 @ Maine Maritime Museum
Get ready for real NIGHT OUT, remember those?. We’re talkin’ live music, a live auction with a terrific auctioneer, Jackass Annie running the bar, and lots of fantastic food !
Maine Coast Fisherman’s Association has donated their new smoked pollack dip, (seriously get some and put it on one of Knead & Nosh’s bagel with a few Olivia’s Garden cucumbers), Jeff of Knead & Nosh. Jeff is making his amazing dumplings ( he teaches dumpling classes BTW), Bella of Sanctuary Baking, another incredible non-profit working to feed our community will be creating a tempting table of tapas, Solo Pane has donated bread, Cakes by Design will be providing dessert bites ( so cute—stop in and check them out!) and also umm… oh yeah, ME.. I’ll be passing around some (yet to be decided upon) fancy pants hors d'oeuvres.
The auction items are rolling in, there’s jewelry, sporting goods, local beer baskets, gift certificates to local restaurants and other businesses and a ton of experiences including a dinner catered by…ME!
