THE FUTURE LOOKS DELICIOUS...

I'm really excited about some of the upcoming things we'll be doing at Bonni Bakes. For HALLOWEEN we've got cookie goodie bags with 3 adorable hand decorated little gingerbread bats, pumpkins & ghosts...only $1.50. Or a larger Mummy Cookie for just $1. Muffin wants me to remind you that there are also DOGGIE TREAT BAGS but he won't be getting one unless he walks nicely while wearing his costume for trick-or-treating.

Now that I've had a chance to regain my equilibrium, we've planned some wonderful special dinners. My friend Scott Duncan is a man of many talents. He operates Duncan's Kitchens, where he spends his days as a kitchen designer. In his spare time he started Get Together Gourmets, a monthly cooking club, (www.gettogethergourmets.com). I've been on the tasting end of his culinary pursuits for about 2 years and have tried to entice him into doing Dinner At Bonni Bakes. At last I wore him down and he'll be cooking an Autumn Harvest Dinner on Sat Nov 14th. Reserve early because there's only one seating and numbers are limited.

Sat Dec 5th Rick Kerby is cooking up a fund raising dinner to help pay operating expenses for The Manatee Players. For $50/pp you'll enjoy his extensive gourmet meal of Hors D'Oeuvres, Dinner and Dessert. Two seatings, 6 & 8pm. His last dinner sold out very quickly. For reservations & more details call Leona at 748.0111.

Not to be overshadowed by the foregoing, Scott & I team up to produce a memorable MOROCCAN DINNER on Sat Dec 12th. Details available soon.

If you're like me and not planning on spending Thanksgiving with family this year, join us for BONNI BAKES' COMMUNAL POT LUCK THANKSGIVING DINNER. No money involved just bring part of the meal to share with others. Call me at 746.6647 to sign up and tell me what you're bringing. I'll make the turkey.

Don't forget to turn your clock back an hour Sat night when daylight saving time changes. I personally haven't noticed much change in the seasons so it's still time for refreshing icy cold soup and the crunch of a homemade NYC bagel. Here's this week's menu.

Hugs from the kitchen,
Bonni
