If Jeff and I can do it, you probably can too! We have had some fabulous, passionate, amazing chefs since Selma started way back in February.  And lately, most of those chefs have been really busy–too busy for Selma.  This has left us pondering how to bring more folks in to cook up breakfast, especially since the alternative is for Jeff or me to step up and cook.  Much as I love coming up with and cooking specials for our Friday mornings, it doesn’t meet our goal of keeping the local food community directly involved in our weekly breakfast salon by filling as many roles as they can.

Do you like to make food for your family and friends? Do you like coming up with fun breakfast ideas that focus on local and seasonal food?  Please consider stepping up and taking a turn!  It may seem daunting, but it is really fun and exciting.  We promise we will help you through all phases of the process–from planning your specials to garnishing the plates!  I’m happy to woman the egg pans for anyone who is interested.

Props and thanks to Jeff for his delicious special: fall-off-the-bone tender spicy pork shoulder with hoop house roasted chilies, served with moist, rich cornbread and a couple of butter fried eggs.  Wow! What a great combination. We still had blueberry bread pudding, waffles with pancetta or not,  and yogurt, granola and fruit parfaits for  anyone who wanted a vegetarian option.

Thursday night we had lots of help pulling it together– Susie Baity-Stearns, JD Rubin, Shaelyn Smith, Brad Wicklund and his friend Michael Borowski, Olivia May, Garin Fons, Kate Mathews, Elizabeth Edwards and Nevon Clark all made the evening fun and easy.

Friday morning volunteers included Susie Baity-Stearns, Shaelyn Smith, Carolyn Christopher, Laura Kowal, Nevon Clark, Sarah Burns, and Nevon Clark.Thanks to all for helping Jeff and I pull it off!  Hope to see you soon around our kitchen! ~Lisa
