One More Cup Of Coffee

One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee ’fore I go…
(Bob Dylan)

Happy Sunday!!

And…Happy Coffeehouse Cosmic Trivia! You guys went so crazy, Friday evening, with emails, texts, and messages, answering the Cosmic Trivia Question!!

The question asked what two Urbana/local coffeehouses used to feature my breads, for serving, and for selling, years ago!

Many of you emailed me, Madison’s, and while that was a correct answer, it was not the two I was looking for since I featured Madison’s, already!

The answers…The Depot Coffeehouse, and The Spotted Cow Coffeehouse!

And, we have five winners, all frantically sending answers at about the same time. How could I turn any away??

So…congrats to these market winners!!

YAY!!! Now…it’s cold, the sun is shining, but really it’s just too cold to venture out, so why not get your market orders in, while you are inside, staying cozy??

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Trivia Night Is Closed!

Hey you crazy market customers!!

It was so much fun with all of you playing trivia, and we now have 5 winners with answers flying it at the same time!!

I will announce the answers and winners, tomorrow!

Friday Trivia Night

Happy Friday evening on this cold, cold night!!

I wanted to tell you that the February menu for both Cosmic Charlie and Hippie and the Farmer is now up, live, and ready for ordering!

New soups, pizzas, and frozen dinners!

Also…it’s time for a bit of Cosmic trivia for more chances to win a Cosmic product of your choice!!

Way back in time, when I used to bake for restaurants, I used to bake for two local coffeehouses, and they used my breads for their pressed panini sandwiches!

There can be two winners, again, and please, one answer per person!! I’m looking for both of the coffeehouse names!!

Ok…stay warm, and I am off to rest up for a weekend of making Hippie and the Farmer food for a small dinner party of clients!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Hazy Shade Of Winter

Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There’s a patch of snow on the ground…
(Simon & Garfunkel)
(However, I am listening to The Bangles version, from the movie, Less Than Zero)

So…what a crazy market pick up!! That snow, sleet, ice, wind…all at once!! I am hoping that all customers got home, safe and sound!!

I am opening up the market with a few reminders…

Next week’s market pick up will be right before Valentine’s Day, so, if you need sweets for your sweet, you know that we offer them!!

If you need flowers for your sweetheart, a Galentine’s gift, or just a gift to yourself, because you are so amazing, we have a limited amount of the lovely Hawaii florals!!

AND…your market manager is tired, cold, and ready to settle in with a glass of wine…so, I will have the new Cosmic soups, breads, and Hippie and the Farmer frozen dinners all up, tomorrow!!

Thanks again for all of that came out in this weather!! You make the market what it is!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

A Note From Flourish!

Happy Wednesday, and thank you for all of the market orders, this week!!

I received an email from the girls of Flourish, with this market offering that will be available when I reopen the market, tomorrow night!

As you know, one Flourish partner is now living in Hawaii, for now, on an adventure with her new husband, so they are spanning Flourish from Ohio to Hawaii, and having a great learning opportunity with flower farms of Hawaii!

The other Flourish partner is still here, and provides with all of the market loveliness of seeds, and now the delivery of these florals!

Be ready when the market opens, tomorrow eve!

Here is their note:

The Flourish ladies are bringing you a special offer this Valentine’s Day season! Specialty protea’s grown on a small farm on Maui. These blooms are stunning and last up to two weeks in a vase. Once they begin to wilt, hang to dry. They keep their color and are overall amazing. Only available to be picked up at the market on Feb 11. 1/2 dozen for $18 & a full dozen stems for $36!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

The One Hour Bell!

Good morning…

This is your last call bell to remind you that if you have yet to get your orders in for this week, you still have time!

The market closes at 8am, this morning, and you don’t want to miss all of the fun!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Cold Rain And Snow

You guys…you have been blowing up my email with your answers to this week’s Cosmic trivia!!! And, I have been loving your answers, and singing all of your song choices while I have been getting the Monday morning list of things ready, that I need to accomplish!

We have our two winners!!!

My Grateful Dead weather related song titles choices were just two of many of their weather related titles.

Let me tell you, I have spent years, first at Dead shows, then at Dark Star Orchestra shows, and Dead and Company shows, in ALL kinds of weather!! Dead Heads have danced in cold, rain, snow, sleet, dodged lightening, and ran for our safety to tents. We’ve watched stages get washed out from rains. We’ve had total campsites demolished with hurricane/tornado type weather. We’ve all helped out our fellow camp neighbors in the aftermath of said storms. We’ve danced in rainfall with the Dead playing on with all of their weather related music. We’ve worn parkas in May, we’ve worn sundresses in December. But, the important thing, the underlying lesson that we all have taken with us, is that weather comes, and it goes, but love gets us all through, and you may as well keep on dancing…

So, with all that…

My first winner of the morning was Rachel Massey with her answer…Weather Report Suite!!!! She was a new customer, last week, and I am so excited to hear her kind words about the market!

My second winner has been with the market since it’s inception, 10 years ago…the other song I was looking for was, of course…Cold Rain and Snow! Mary Jo Price won that song!!

So…we have the trivia winners!!

And, I have added new selections of Cosmic breads and focaccia!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Cosmic Monday Trivia!

Get excited!!

While you are busy with your ordering, today, and remember…the market closes tomorrow morning, at 8am, for weekly orders…I am giving you the next trivia mission!!

This week, I am going to award TWO winners!! And, with this weather, we could all use a little Cosmic sunshine…

Related to the weather, I am looking for two weather specific Grateful Dead songs! The first two people to give me the song/songs I am looking for, will be this week’s winners!

1. Only give me one song with your answer!

2. You must be an ordering market customer!

3. You can pick soup or a bread product for your trivia prize!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Out In The Cold

I’m out in the cold
Body and soul
There’s nowhere to go
I’m out in the cold…
(Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)

Turn up the music, market customers, and warm up the place, because we really had a winter storm dumped into our laps, and from the looks of it, it’s going to keep on keepin’ on!

Not to fear…you can still order, in the loveliness and warmth of your home, and guess what?? We can deliver all the market goods, to your door, you don’t even have to bundle up to make the drive to the farm, this week!! Think about that when you are trying to decide on placing your orders.

We are here, the market boosts so much goodness, and to make it easy in these snowy times, we will deliver it all!

Happy Sunday eve…and, like you, I am settled in, after having a movie watching/house organizing/plant loving/laundry catch up kind of day, and now I am enjoying a glass of wine, with dinner in the oven, roasting away. AND, while I have a bit of downtime, I am sipping a glass of wine, listening to tunes, and placing my own market order!

Let’s see some of that market love come pouring in, and remember…we KNOW the cold that this week presents, and we are HAPPY to deliver the market, right to your door…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
