Janie, if your reading, this blog post is defiantly a shout out to you! Sunday morning Joey and I had some free time together and in our journey stumbled across a new store that just opened in Sturbridge,MA called
Peas on Earth.
www.peasonearthstore.com
Sounded right up our alley so we popped in to check it out. Right at the top of the stairs were two things that let us know we were in the right place; a movie called
Food Inc. & a book by the name of
Skinny Bitch (Thank you Val on that one). I highly recommend both to anyone who wants to get better acquainted with the food industry, the misconceptions of the USDA, or wants to further their knowledge of eating organically, naturally, free-range...etc. Once we stopped oogling at the fun books, we made our way into a quaint little store chockfull of fun Organic, natural and GLUTEN FREE food items. That's right Jane, everything they carry is gluten free!! (This makes me even giddier for your next visit when I shower you with gluten free goodness.) Peas on Earth also carries a number of food items grown or made by locals such as; zucchini relish and fresh veggies to name a few. One of my favorite sections however, was the bakery area, with fresh baked goods from Strawberry Moon - a gluten-free delight! Yum!
www.strawberrymoon.com And just a reminder, you don’t have to have a gluten allergy to enjoy the delights of gluten-free baked goods my friends ;-) So needless to say, I'm a fan and think what they are doing is a great thing.
On a side note, work was insanely busy this weekend and on Saturday night, right in the middle of dinner rush, our entire computer system shut-down (do you know how freekin' scary it is to look at a black computer screen!!!!), we had a lady choke on some prime rib (she’s ok) and the bartender broke one of those giant glass jars of maraschino cherries in the beer cooler. (my hands still are a bit red from that one) Never a dull moment.
I'M SO EXCITED!!!!! and i miss you.
ReplyDeleteand yes, for the record, gluten free baked goods are quite yummy regardless.
have you considered looking into providing some cool organic homemade goodies for this place? it seems right up your alley.

HA HA EXCELLENT! I'll give ya a ring after this weekend and I'm done cooking for the church bazaar so we can make a date. Taygan is going to have sooo many little animals to dress up as if you keep going at this rate.... I'm actually a little surprised you haven't found a penguin outfit yet! LOL
