Thank you Helen and Blake of EAT Catering. Everytime you chef for us, you surprise and delight us. This time was more of the same deliciousness, but new and fabulous breakfast treats. Those two cuties offered us two very different specials this time around.
A Korean inspired BBQ pulled pork sandwich, topped with The Brinery’s kimchi, served on an Avalon Bakery bun, topped with a fried egg and a side of carrot slaw was just about the best thing ever.
For those wanting a little sweetness for breakfast, the second special were a couple of lusciously comforting acorn squash pancakes topped with a cardamom spiced apple compote and a cider reduction sauce that warmed us all down to our very toes. Thanks also go out to Phillis Engelbert, our vegan chef and regular Selma Cafe volunteer for this weeks savory vegan special, which included a tasty roasted potato medley with a side of marinated tofu and greens.
In addition to the good food, we also had some good music. Appleseed Collective came by and played a few sets of their sweet tunes. Check them out on the facebook here.
We had an awesome crew of volunteer helpers this week. Thank you Susie Baity Stearns for facilitating prep, Michelle Fortin for running the Friday morning clean up crew, and everyone else who does their part with enthusiasm and fun.

We had a great turn out at the Grange Kitchen and Bar for our Four Season Farmer Development Program. You can read about the program, and check out the farmer application form HERE. More than 70 people turned out to share ideas, ask questions, and show there support for increasing opportunities for more farms and farmers in our community.
Come on by Friday morning for a taste of the Upper Peninsula! We’ve got Mea Pasties with homemade ketchup, and Finnish Pancakes with Raspberry Jam for ya in da Selma Cafe, eh!
Stay cozy, and see you soon in our kitchen,
