Getting Fresh with the Pilgrims

Hey Gorgeous Green Bean,

Let’s face it–the Puritans who settled the Plymouth Plantation in New England were a pretty bland group–in flavorless contrast to their Florentine contemporaries. So who do you think prepared the better food? The Italians, silly! So infuse your Thanksgiving feast with a little amore and ix-nay on that puritanical judgment, duty, & quiet uffering-say*. Revel in your full basket of fresh, rich ingredients from your local Co-op and indulge in treats you usually don’t have time for. The Co-op researches extensively, so you can be assured you’re always buying the best available quality, local & organic, and produced by nice, passionate people like yourself. Check out these specials:

Coon Ridge Organic Goat Cheese

You don’t have to go to the Mediterranean to dine on good chevre! Organic Coon Ridge Goat Cheese is local & delish! My favorite flavor is, of course, Italian Herb. Goat cheese makes a tasty addition to your Antipasto, and if you really want to go nuts you can add it to pastries!

Martinelli's Sparkling Cider

Aroma Fresca Herbs are Certified Organic grown right here in Albuquerque. You could add fresh sage to stuffing mix, chives to potatoes, and thyme to everything on the menu!

Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider makes you feel festive without getting you trashed. Guzzle it by the bottle (or by the glass) without feeling guilty or embarrassing yourself!

Too busy fighting the Reformation to cook this year? Head over to the Co-op Deli; they have beautifully prepared holiday dishes ready to go!

Baci e abbracci,

Nora
