by Dawn Seckler 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Dear Neighbors! We've searched Construction Junction to no avail! Do you have a 5 panel door like the one in the picture (32'' x 78.5'') cluttering your basement from your home renovation project? If so, we'd be happy to take it off your hands! No problem if it's covered in paint and needs to be restored! Thanks in advance, Dawn and Greg

[Highland Park] 4 Bertoia Style Stools for Sale
by Dawn Seckler 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

Dear Neighbors, We bought and really like these chairs, but they're too high for our kitchen island. They're the same ones that are at Dinette, if you've eaten there. They're obviously knock-offs, but are barely distinguishable from the real thing...except for the price. We paid $160 each (total $640 plus shipping and handling). Will sell the set of four for an even $500. The chair's dimensions are Barstool: 21"W x 18"D x 41"H Seat Height: 26.25" middle point, 30" corner point Seat Back: 14.5" Please be in touch if you're interested! Best, Dawn and Greg

I expect the market to have a great selection of locall grown items this Saturday, so please stop by the market to get some of the local fruit, produce and meat.  The corn is really starting to come in.  Check todays article in the PG on local corn and some great recipes. http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/life/food/a-salute-to-the-kernels-and-t… Also, Miriam Rubin is at it again with her "Miriam's Garden" series.  This week she is talking about growing onions- and has 2 great recipes.   http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/life/food/miriams-garden-enough-to-make… must say that I have had some excellent locally grown onions so far this season.  At first we were getting the small ones, but the past few weeks we have been getting the larger PA Simply Sweets.  I have been cutting them in half, drizzling with lots of olive oil, salt and pepper and roasting them in the oven.  I served them with steaks from Kennedy's.  Yum. Please see below for an update on items at the market.    David Lagnese *********************************************************************************************** The Update Greenawalt Farm Locally grown items include sweet corn, zucchini, yellow squash, pickle cucumbers, radishes, green onions, peaches, lettuce, swiss chard, blueberries.  Brian always has a few surprises because he visits with a variety of Amish farmers on Fridays to pick up items for the market.  Check out their fresh cut herbs such as chives and mint.  In addition they will have locally grown eggs and their normal selection of Amish made products. J.L. KENNEDY MEAT STAND Special items for this week include:  ** Pork spare ribs ** Pork baby back ribs ** Any steaks cut to order ** Chipped sirloin Phone hours are mon- thurs 9-9 and 9-6 pm on friday.  The number at the farm is 724-898-2316 J.L.

The Greek Gourmet- will have homemade spinach and meat pies to the market each week- in addition to 20+ flavors of hummus.  Stop by and talk to Jack at the booth. PA Made Cheese-   Many of you have grown to love the Blue Cheese and the Mushroom Leek Cheese made by Common Folk Organics in Lancaster County.   I went to visit them on July 4th.  I met with Ivan Lapp, an Amish farmer in Ronks.  He spent about an hour with me-  showing me around the farm and talking to me about what he does.  Ivan has 6 children, and they help manage a herd of about 35 cows.  He is part of a cooperative called Common Folk Organics.  Most of the milk goes into the cooperative and is consumed as drinking milk.  Making cheese is a project to make a higher value product from the milk.  He partnered with local cheese maker Amos Miller.  Amos lives a few miles away in Leola.  Ivan's family has been farming the same land for nearly 100 years.  The farm and the facilities are very neat, clean and organized.   Amos Miller has a small goat herd and cheese making facility.  He makes a variety of aged goat cheeses, but also does contract cheese making for Ivan and others.  While I was there, he had a vat full of cows milk and was in the process of making a tome cheese.  I tasted a lot of cheeses and had some great conversation with Amos.  He has 11 children!  I picked up a few wheels of his aged aged goat cheeses in addition to the Blue and the Mushroom Leek. I must say I was really impressed by what I saw Lancaster County.  The area visited was nearly all Amish farms, as far as the eye could see.  Horse and buggies definitely out number autos.  The beauty of landscape is incredible.  Its lush and green with rolling hills.  I met two really impressive people that are committed to making great food.  I can't wait to go back.  Please come and support their farms by buying their cheese. Kew Park Coffee Bar- Fresh locally roasted Kew Park Coffee- we have Dark and Medium roast beans available.  To help beat the heat, we will have fresh squezed lemon aid available.
