The Weight

Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line…
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it’s time…
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she’s the only one…
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone..(The Weight-The Band)

So, as I posted last night, we have just this week’s market to get Thanksgiving orders in because we will not be around for next week’s market since it will be closed for that day. Order this week, for all needs.

We also understand that you may need some items as fresh as possible right before the big day. You can always make arrangements with individual vendors to get with them, next week, for last minute needs. We just will not be setting up through the market, next week.

One of those vendors would be me, Cosmic Charlie. If you would like dinner rolls, breads, breakfast items for next week’s holiday weekend, you can place your orders via my email, and can then pick them all up from my shop, downtown Urbana, all day on next Tuesday. Another thing to keep in mind, my items all freeze beautifully…if you order this week, you can successfully freeze, thaw, gently warm, serve, for next week…

Thanksgiving is the holiday that is my favorite but also the most hectic, as I am sure it is for everyone. As you all have read my Weblogs, you know that I have lived all over, spent a whole lot of my life living on my own, and carving out a circle of family through my friends, in every city and all during college.

One of my favorite times was Thanksgiving. Especially in cities where I had no family, just friends who were also floating along, and we would gather, with everyone adding their own special touch to the day. There would be baking, cooking, turkeys and hams in the oven, scented air with candles and cooking yumminess. Lots of bottles of wine, champagne to toast with when none of us had much money, back then, but we still made sure to splurge on holiday fun and fare. Good times, with good food, and the best of friends around the makeshift tables. Is it weird to miss those days? To think of all the friendships I have been lucky enough to be a part of? Simple, basic times made super amazing just by special touches.

This market can do that for you. I always like to call this the little market of love because to me, it represents what I came from. Friendship, friends who loved, food that was simple and delicious, food that back then, was still of the local/natural/raw state. Affordability was key, good flavor a must, and nutrition was there because it was real food.

Let us put our own market love into your Thanksgiving…we offer flours, cheeses,dairy, eggs, herbs, spices, jams, jellies, glazes, garlic, honey, maple syrup, sorghum, popcorn for snacking, greens, lettuces, potatoes, top quality, locally raised meats, breads, candles to scent your entire house for guests, and soaps for your guest rooms an baths.

Swisher Hill Herbs is still running a special on their Thanksgiving spices, but you will also need to stock up on all herbs and spices to flavor and blend.

Oakview Farm Meats can direct you with any meat questions. They also have their own shop front where you can stop in, next week, for any last minute needs.

Together, we can get this dinner, holiday, off the ground for you! With local love, with a smile, and with ease…let us put the love in your day…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
