Dear Green Heart Friends,

Spring has sprung, and Ted will make Spring Barley Soup with asparagus and peas:

And bringing back the Baked Biryani from Forks over Knives:

This week's menu is attached, as always. What I will say is that the baked goods listed are the "goals". It has been challenging the past weeks with Leila gone, and trying to train someone to replace her. It seems she's irreplaceable, and so I have been doing my best to figure out new schemes & plans to get the baking completed. We start again with new trainees this week; I don't know how long it will be before it's smooth sailing again. Cathy Tate, Ted and I have the savory covered; no worries. Unfortunately, there aren't enough days in the week for me to bake everything I usually do + birthday cakes & custom orders, and everything that Leila was making. I will do the best I can! So, if you order a scone, for example, and they don't get made, you know why: not enough time.

The great news is that this is the closing Sunday for the horse racing. And their contract expires this year 2023. And the County Board of Supervisors will vote whether to renew their contract.....

Thank you, in advance, for your order. If you are new, here's the routine: email me back with your selection(s). You will pick up Sunday at Rillito Park Farmers Market, and pay for your order when you pick it up (not in advance).

See you Sunday!
