We love Wonder Woman and Bad Fairy! These two Bona Sera Supper Club stars are fun, energetic, irreverent, and damn, these women can cook!  The two specials they offered were both fab and originals for FM @SELMA.  First, a spicy pepper and roasted tomato frittata served with a creamy potato gratin and bacon was deliciously rich and flavorful.  The hot peppers in the frittata were nicely cooled by all the cream and cheese in the gratin.  Served with bacon, this dish was a big hit.  The second special was sigh inspiring too.  A perfectly fried egg was served a top a hoe cake with syrup.  For those who missed out this week, a hoe cake is a sweet corn meal pancake fried on a griddle that puts a regular pancake to shame.  Come back and cook for us again soon WW and BF!

Thanks to all the volunteers both Thursday evening and Friday morning who get the credit for making sure the vision of the chefs and the actual serving of plates of food happen every week for you!

JD Rubin, Eva Stearn, Elizabeth Edwards, Ana Austin, Patrick Austin, Laura Kowal and Susie Baity-Stearns were our Thursday night volunteers, and Judy Stone, Rachel Chadderdon, Elizabeth Redman, Nevon Clark, Laura Weatherington, Emily Stearns, Bridget Hanser, Judith Rontal, Kate Noll-Greene, Ray Carr, Matt McClean and Susie Baity-Stearns stepped up Friday morning.

Without volunteers our breakfast salon would not be sustainable.  Please consider volunteering in any of the roles available–from Thursday evening prep to Friday morning clean up, and everything in between!

Thanks to Shana Kimball and Eric Strong who met Jeff and me at the Dexter Blueberry Farm on Saturday afternoon to pick some berries for the winter months of FM @Selma.  We ended up with 30 pounds of blueberries!  More thanks to Amber Webster, Kerby Smithson and Mike Elchinger who came over Saturday night for drinks and eats, and ended up washing and freezing nearly all the berries we picked.  I love the sight of bags and bags of frozen blueberries nestled in our freezer, biding their time until we need their ripe, sweet taste of summer in the deep days of winter.

Finally, just a reminder to all to come on down to the Home Grown Festival this Saturday evening, September 12, from 5:00 to 10:00 at the Ann Arbor Farmer’s Market! It’s free to get in, there’s a Michigan beer and wine tent, awesome food and wonderful vendors, great music, stuff to do for the whole family, and Repasts, Present and Future will be representin’ with a fun version of a pie-hole toss game (like corn-hole toss, only better, because it’s pie!)  Don’t miss out on this great local foods event!

Hope to see you soon in our kitchen, Lisa
