Friday Farm Raising UPDATE

Things just keep getting better and better!  The kind folks over at Houndstooth Coffee on North Lamar are gifting us HOT coffee for those who like their caffeine smokin’!  Don’t worry, frosty beverage lovers, Thunderbird’s got you covered with ICED coffee goodness, too!

I’ve been slaaaaaving away in the kitchen since yesterday afternoon getting all the breakfast prep taken care of.  It’s unbelievable the generosity of the community–Tecolote Farm, Ottmers Family Farm, Naegelin Family Farm, and Rigel Thurston’s happy hens have provided us with an incredible amount of fresh produce and eggs.  SOOOO much, I can’t even tell you.  Suffice to say I’ll be happy not to chop another potato for a good year or so!

Saturday morning Michele & I will be serving up about 70 scrambled eggs, parsley-ed potatoes, greens, and 3 different kinds of muffins.  That oughta keep you farmers goin’!  Sunday we’ve got brown rice, beans, steamed squash, and fresh salsa, plus any muffins that might have survived Saturday’s breakfast.  Come early, or your hungry hosts just might eat it all before you get there!

So let’s talk PARKING.

As I mentioned in a previous post, please consider CAR-POOLING as this is a residential location.  We’ll have the grassy lot at the corner of North Loop & Jim Hogg Ave available for parking, but please do think about riding with a friend!

It’s going to be a wonderful, eventful weekend!  BIG THANKS to all who have contributed and to those who have signed up to participate!

OH!  One piece of bad news: the massage therapists we’d promised for the after-party Sunday afternoon have had to back out.  So sad.  If you know any massage therapists who might be interested in some muscle rejuvenating love for weary, sweaty volunteers (sounds great, doesn’t it!) please send them my way–KatyHamill (at) that google mail server (dot) com  (Damn spammers always find me, sorry for the ambiguity with the email address.)
