October, my month of projects

This is the beginning of a hectic few weeks for me. Today the painting of my former bakery building began. I still like the colors that I originally chose, but this time around they'll be a bit brighter. Now that the body of the building has been painted, I can't wait to see how the new chartreuse lime trim punches it up. 

My hand painted 6' fiberglass gecko has hung on the building since GeckoFest 2003. When it was removed, we discovered the hollow underside had been turned into a wasp subdivision, and I don't mean White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. Ouch, be careful when you disturb things outside!

Next week my TreeHouse will be tented, so Twink & I will be off staying with friends. Due to the time required to prep before & return to normal after, I won't be able to bake next week.

Despite our current insanely high temperatures I'm thinking positively that Summer must be over by now. Let's celebrate Fall with apples, pumpkins and something to dip in a steaming mug. 

THIS WEEK'S MENU      PICK-UP  FRIDAY  OCT 17th

MANDLEBROT  $2.5o/pkg of 2

The Jewish version of biscotti is a little softer and explodes with the flavor of almond, in addition to loads of toasted almonds throughout. Dip it in espresso, or a glass of tea like my relatives.

JEWISH APPLE CAKE     $3/piece

One of my earliest memories is this classic dessert. It's a soft cake, not overly sweet, punctuated with chunks of sweet cinnamon coated fresh apples. Perfect way to end a meal, or as a snack.

OUTRAGEOUS BROWNIE     $2.50

If you like an intensely moist chocolate brownie with toasted pecans, look no further. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or use to bribe your kids to clean their rooms. Better yet, enjoy it yourself!

PUMPKIN DATE NUT MUFFIN    $2

The taste of Fall is pumpkin. Enjoy this moist muffin that is highlighted with warm spices, chewy dates, plump raisins & toasted walnuts. It's just missing a schmear of cream cheese.

THE BIG COOKIE  $1.50

Individually wrapped & available in the following flavors:  Chocolate Chip, Oatmeal Raisin Walnut, Orange Walnut Belgium Bittersweet Chocolate, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle, Pecan Coconut Belgium Milk Chocolate.

CHOCOLATE ORGASM COOKIES  $5/pkg

My legendary chocolate delivery system made from melted Belgium Bittersweet chocolate, toasted fresh almonds, chocolate chips & very little flour. Sold in packages of four because you must have more than one.

BRAIDED CHALLAH    $4.50/loaf 

Available  just in time for Friday night dinner. This is the classic Jewish bread that is used to celebrate the Sabbath all over the world. Made with eggs, a second cousin to brioche. Makes the best French toast.

JAM & CHUTNEY  $4/jar        FRUIT BUTTER  $5/jar

Check out my new flavors this season, as well as those classics. Choose from: 
Mango Chutney, Ginger Pear Chutney, Blueberry Lime Jam, Simply Strawberry Jam, Pineapple Daiquiri Jam,  Blueberry Pineapple Fusion Jam, Carrot Cake Jam, Mango Margarita Jam and a couple of jars of Spiced Pear Butter.
