A Busy Weekend


By In Our Grandmothers' Kitchens (Visit website)



 


I?m sure ALL of my readers have these events on their calendars?but here?s a little reminder just in case!

 

First, tomorrow night (Saturday, August 21), Alice Parker and I will trip the light fantastic at the Green Emporium in Colrain, Massachusetts. Friends and fans should plan to come eat pizza, listen with rapture, and of course sing along.

 

I am actually still learning the music for our centennial tribute to Frank Loesser. It?s been a hectic month! I try to tell myself this is a good thing. I wouldn?t want to lose my spontaneity, now would I? 


The program starts at 7:30 pm. Would-be listeners are encouraged to come a bit early as the restaurant doesn?t take reservations.




 

Second, Sunday is the first day of the week-long Blogathon proudly hosted by me (with help from the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources and Mass Farmers Markets).

 

Loving Local: Celebrating the Flavors of Massachusetts coincides with Massachusetts Farmers? Market week and raises money for Mass Farmers Markets, a non-profit charity that supports farmers markets throughout the Bay State. 


As I type this, we have about 70 blogs scheduled to participate. If you?d like to join in the virtual feast–it?s calorie free!–please see the instructions here. (Don’t you love our wonderful poster/logo, designed by the talented Leon Peters?)


 


Since things are a bit busy today?s recipe is for ? water. I got this refreshing idea from Michael Collins, the chef at the Green Emporium. I have put lemon in water for years, but the mint is not only pretty but tasty.

 



 

 


 

Ingredients:

 

1 pitcher water (preferably delicious New England well water)

1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeded

a handful of mint sprigs

lots of ice

 

Instructions: 


Combine the ingredients and allow them to mellow a bit together before serving. Serves 2 to 8, depending on degree of thirst and size of pitcher.
