Hello Wheatsville friends!

Just a reminder that we have Coffee with the Board happening this Saturday from 10am - Noon on the patio. Come on out and talk to your board about current events, the store or the transformation of society! Coffee and treats and board fun!

The Super Bowl is happening this Suhnday and Wheatsville can really make your snacking special!

Here is what we have in store for you!

Deli

The return of the Popcorn Tofu bucket! While these didn't literally fly out of here last year, they sure did move fast. Get yours this year and be the life of the party! One pound of delicious and dippable Popcorn Tofu with Cashew Tamari dressing ready to grab and go! 

How about Buddy's Natural Chicken Hot Wings? We'll have them in the deli case ready for you to buy as much or as little as you're looking for. We'll also have blue cheese dipping sauce for fire quenching!

Our deli's own L'il Cheddars Meatloaf could be up your alley. We'll have it this weekend! They are made with Coleman Natural Beef.

Two awesome salsas will be available in our Super Bowl Salsa Smash! Look for Mango Habanero Salsa or (perennial favorite) Roasted Tomato Salsa.

The deli will also be showing off our Guacamole topped with our Casera salsa for your dipping enjoyment!

Our regular salsas and Vegan Queso will also be available.

Cheese

Why not make a domestic or international cheese tray for your party? For domestic pIle on the cheddars, the pepper jack and even some local cheeses like the Pure Luck Chevres or the Water Oak Farms Ricotta. For international: Bries, Goudas (Davinci gouda is recommended), Swiss, and/or Maple Smoked Jarlsberg (is really good according to Dana our deli manager). 

Meat

Sausage can be a good choice for get togethers like this. We carry Buddy's Natural Chicken sausages in a variety of flavors.

Refrigerated

Vegetarians coming to your gathering? How about grilling some Tofurky Brats? Or buying some White Mountain Hot Tofu DIp!

FRESH IN THE DELI, February 2008

Featured Cheese…Parmesan

 

This hard, dry cheese is made from cow’s milk and is a favorite of chefs. There are domestic and imported varieties of Parmesan cheeses available. Aging contributes to a rich, sharp, complex flavor and grainy texture. Typically, domestic versions are aged for 14 months, while imported Parmigiano-Reggiano is aged two years. Those labeled “Stravecchio” have been aged for three years. Parmesan can be purchased grated, shredded or by the piece.

 

Try mixing grated parmesan with seasoned bread crumbs, then egg wash, dredge and sauté thinly sliced eggplant to make Eggplant Parmesan cutlets. Top with tomato sauce.
