Dried fruit and nuts soaking up a little rum before going into the Stollen
Hello Everyone,
Once again it's been a long time since my last updated newsletter. We are still here and things are going as well as can be expected. Having no expectations helps a lot. This notice is to let you know about our Christmas schedule and update you on what's available and not available in the store. We plan to have bread in the driveway on Saturdays as usual from 9:00AM to Noon through December. I'm going to have at least some Stollen (German Christmas bread) and hopefully some other goodies for Christmas Eve and maybe even this Saturday, the 17th. No promises. I'll try to post what I have available on Mimosa market's Facebook page and if you want to be notified from this website please reply and I'll put you on a list. I think there's a space at the bottom of the blog post to leave a comment. Otherwise, here is the explanation of our "open by appointment" policy and the usual "bulleted list".
Being open by appointment is working very well for us while we keep trying to adapt to the ever changing array of challenges. Some people find it a nuisance while others love it and think of it as their private store (thank you all very much!). This is how it works: Just give us a call 520-432-3256 or text me (Ralph) at 520-335-4064 (not good for phone calls; reception is bad up here and this phone tends to wander away from me so I may not see the text right away). We can tell you if we have what you're looking for and when we can be here for you to get it. We try to be here our usual old hours (Noon to 6 Tue-Sun) and if we're not, we won't be gone for long, and we live here. We also have a doorbell which is “fancy high tech” so it only works sometimes. We'll answer when we can.
The bulleted list from last time is still valid this time so I'll just put it here.
We still have local eggs when the hens are laying (most of the time).
I still take care of over 100 culinary herbs and spices in bulk to fill your spice jars.
We still carry my homemade bulk sausages, ground Angus chuck, some frozen seafood and Continental Sausage's Bratwurst products in our freezers.
Homemade Mustards, Tomato Sauce, Chicken and Beef Stocks.
We still have newspapers, wine, beer, candy, tobacco, and...ICE CREAM!
Fresh produce includes the basics; onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, celery, tomatoes, parsley, cilantro, ginger, lemons, limes, apples, bananas, etc.
“Bread in the Driveway” still every Saturday from 9AM to Noon.
There is occasionally bread left from “Bread in the Driveway” after we stop at Noon on Saturdays. Call the store to see what we may have.
Again, thank you all for your cooperation and support. I wish everyone a calm winter and that you all stay warm, safe and especially-Stay Free!
Ralph
Merry Christmas Ralph and Barbara
