Mushroom packaging

Have you heard about this super cool, eco-friendly idea that is being used more and more? Mushrooms are cheap, easy to grow, low impact waste that is bio-degradable and therefore compostable. Check out the link below. While it's not a wholly justifiable reason to purchase a new computer just to get the packaging, it does increase the WOW factor!

2nd Annual Hoosier Food Fest

Have you heard about the 2nd Annual Hoosier Food Fest?

Food!
Games!
Food!
Good people!
Laughter!
Food!
Fellowship!
GOOD food!!

It was a rousing success last year, so it's returning again. But you have a little bit of homework again:
*Flip through your favorite recipes, or...
*look for some new ones.
*Visit your local farmer's market.
*Think of fun, yummy ways that you can incorporate some of Indiana's finest produce into an everyone-must-try-this dish.

Do you have any recipes that you clipped out of the paper, borrowed from a friend, inherited from your Great Aunt Ruth that you have been wanting to try but haven't had a good excuse to make yet? This is your opportunity to broaden your culinary scope and flex your kitchen muscles. Think of this as the perfect opportunity to use up some of that zucchini that your pesky neighbor keeps leaving anonymously on your doorstep (I've heard that this happens...)!

So get ready and put a reminder on your calendar for August 14th; it's coming up soon!
