Mary Wessel Walker returns with her Harvest Kitchen gang to bring us a yummy take on what is at hand:

· “Breakfast Plate” combines egg, cheese, veg and sausage over a crescent roll crust

· “Taste-O-Summer” blueberry crisp with bacon if you like

Both served with sun-choke braise and hoop-greens

Don’t forget our “fruit seasonal” (sometimes freeze-onal) regular breakfast choices: Waffles with gingered apples or blueberries and Lisa’s bread pudding (raspberry this week, and sweetened with honey until Michigan figures out how to grow some non-GMO sugar!)

Sorry about last week’s email (if you were one of the random set of folk who’s message did not come through).  It appears that the funny little fork image I assembled with keyboard characters to make up the Eat! logo confused the electrons!

Some News:

Spring means volunteer season at Selma Café. Please help us accomplish:

· Tessmer Farm (where most of your hoop greens have been coming from) received one of the USDA hoop-house grants (and we sure would like to know who all the other 20 recipients are, besides us, SunSeed, the Dyers and Brines!). Come help put this one up so we can get Kate Long farming and grow another big season’s worth of food for the breakfast and other events. We will build both Saturday and Sunday the 17^th and 18^th(really soon!) So, please go here to put in your sweat equality.

· Our next round of hoop builds from breakfast proceeds are scheduled for May 8 and 22. You can sign up to volunteer for one or both of the May build dates. Hard work, lots of learning, tons of fun and a feast. We have had a great response for volunteers here already. Thank you!

The Lost and Found – seems to be much more about lost than found. There are some really cute stuffed animals and other toys looking for their homes and several seasons worth of coats, jackets and sweatshirts. Lisa will be posting some pictures of the loot on here facebook page and displaying them prominently to attract your eye. Needless to say, “we gonna’ clear it all out soon” so that somebody can enjoy it.

And then we have:

Lisa asks that you search out and fan the (above mentioned) repasts present and future facebook page. And the tenpercentwashtenaw.org website is crawling to life thanks to good pals Brad and Annette. You can sign the 10% petition online and let us know what you would like to see on this local food resource.
