Wheatsville Co-op Austin, TX

[Dan Gillotte <gm AT wheatsville.coop>]

Hello Wheatsville friends!

I hope that you've been enjoying (or at least tolerating) the rainy weather. We surely need it and the plants seem happy, but the power outages have been tough for some folks, I know.

Co-op Advantage Specials are available on-line: http://www.wheatsville.coop/CAP%20flyers/SW0506%20final.pdf
Some items that you may find exciting:
Knudsen Recharge for just $1.29, great and refreshing during outdoor activities!
Annie's Natural Dressings, large size, for just $3.69- Annie's Goddess is good on virtually everything, I especially like it on steamed asparagus!
Reed's Ginger Brew, 4 pack, $2.99
Rudi's Organic Burger Buns for $2.69- also good for any sandwich! (Hot dog buns also available on sale.)	Purely Decadent Non-dairy frozen dessert for $2.49- One of the best frozen desserts out there! I especially like Peanut Butter Zigzag and Turtle Trails.
Lots more on deal, look on-line or pick up a flyer at the member center and at the registers. There are some good recipes inside, too!

Salsa of the month is Tomatilla Fire, a recipe from our friends at Ozark Natural Foods Co-op in Fayetteville!

We've got some new cheeses that Gabe, our cheese guy, is pretty excited about:
From Holland, 	DaVinci Gouda with Olives, Tomatoes & Mediterranean Herbs
From the U.S. 	Boggy Meadow Raw Baby Swiss
Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar

If you are looking for something sweet for your mom, Fair Trade Organic Chocolate is one way to go. We've got Delicious chocolate from Dagoba and Equal Exchange. We also have Chocolove and other nice chocolate bars. You could also get some fresh local chocolate from Innocent Chocolate in the frozen section!
