THE OCT 24 MEZE DINNER HAS BEEN CANCELLED

DOGGIE DINING ON THE PATIO
This is Muffin right after he finished taste-testing the items on "MUFFIN'S MENU". Only his very favorite snacks made the cut. There is BEEF STEW (in small & medium portions), CHEDDAR CHICKEN CROQUETTES, BEEF/CHICKEN/CARROT WONTONS IN BROTH and LONG SIMMERED MARROW BONES. 100% of the profits from his menu will be donated to local dog rescue groups. Starting in November we'll be highlighting one each month. More details next time. Let your leashed dog keep you company during lunch on our patio. Free water bowl always available and ordering from "Muffin's Menu" is optional. We even have a new DOGGIE BOUTIQUE inside filled with homemade cookies and other special things for you & your furry friend.

Thanks to every one who participated in/and or supported our "ARTSY UNDIES SHOW", we raised $732 that was donated to the American Cancer Society as part of "MAKING STRIDES AGAINST BREAST CANCER".Our exhibit of 51 decorated bras on a mission can be seen until the end of the month at BONNI BAKES in the Village of the Arts at 930 12th St W (just south of MLK/9th Ave) Thur-Sat from 11-2. To arrange a private showing call me at 746-6647.

The 3 mile walk around the Sarasota Polo Club is this Saturday, Oct 24th, beginning at 9am. If you'd like to walk with our team, "OINKING FOR A CURE", let me know. We're walking to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those we've lost and raise funds, awareness and hope that a cure for this disease will be found soon. I'm very grateful to everyone who helped make our effort so successful! Remember to do monthly self-exam, alone or with someone you love.

Starting in mid-November we'll be receiving our weekly share of fresh organic produce from Geraldson's Community Farm. This CSA is beginning it's 3rd year and you too can purchase a full or half-share for the season (Nov-May). Each week you get an assortment of what's in season (veggies & herbs) plus the ability to pick some extra things right off the plants at the farm in NW Bradenton. We'll be featuring a "Geraldson's Platter" on our menu using what's in our basket that week. For more information call Linda at 941-723-3252 or check out their website geraldsoncommunityfarm.org. If you care about where your food is coming from, how it's being grown & handled, this is for you. They also have a Buying Club where you can get locally produced meat, eggs, cheese, etc.

I went to the Pet Expo last weekend and met with volunteers from several local dog rescue groups. We'll be donating profits from "Muffin's Menu" to them. In addition, we'll be hosting a GOLD BUYING EVENT during the Dec ArtWalk, with 10% of the net sales GOING TO THE DOGS. Eat your heart out pussy cats! Start gathering up any gold you're thinking about selling and bring it that night for a FREE VERBAL APPRAISAL. Muffin & his friends thank you...woof, woof.

More exciting things in the works for the upcoming months, stay tuned. In the meantime, here's our menu for this week. Since I'm doing the "Strides" walk on Saturday we may open a tad later than 11am...thanks for your understanding.

Hugs from the kitchen,
