Hello!

We're back, bigger and faster and stronger and better. This week will be our first home delivery of the season. And after a gorgeous last day outdoors, the farmer's market moves indoors to Monona Terrace this week, from 7:30 - noon. We will no be baking the week of Thanksgiving, so there will be no delivery on Friday, November 23, and we will not be at the market on Saturday, November 24. 

Our pumpkin wild rice bread is available for this week only. We stop making this bread after Thanksgiving, so get it while you can. As we did last year, we will be alternating our two raisin breads, starting off this week with our raisin kamut, a bright sunny bread with lemon zest and a hint of fennel. Next week we'll have our traditional raisin bread with orange and anise. And for Vollkornbrot fans who were frustrated last year, we have more pans this year, so we shouldn't have to worry about selling out early.

The muffins available this week will be pumpkin and raspberry chocolate chip. 

The truffles available this week are: 
Dark Chocolate
Maple Ginger

You may order boxes of either variety, or mixed boxes. We will mix in whatever quantities you desire. Our truffles will last for several weeks if refrigerated, although for optimum flavor they should be eaten warm. We prefer to have truffle orders by Monday instead of Wednesday, but late orders will usually be accommodated. We will be rotating through our other truffle varieties each week, and will have all of them available for Christmas.

We are simplifying our delivery charges a bit this year. All orders under $9 will be charged $1 extra for delivery. There will be no charge for orders $9 or over.

For those of you new to this list, I always include a quotation or poem of the week. It gives me a chance to inflict writing I enjoy on a captive audience. I have a new favorite poet at the moment, a Wisconsin native who now resides in Montana. You may be seeing a lot of his work here. Here's our poem of the week.

Poetry

My dad was a poet
who didn’t write poems.
When he was serious
he needed to make sense.

Which is understandable
if you know that nonsense
can be a painful place to be from
and he was from there.

Once my heart burst me out of sleep
and urged me run across the river
(or state, or country—I did that, too)
to knock on a girl’s door until she opened it.

I had nothing but my loneliness, my cold,
my desire—no words, not even breath—
so I kissed her and she kissed me back
and the rest makes very little sense as well.

Now I’m an old poet sitting alone by a fire
with his hand on his face, a little drunk, writing
of the blood that made him and the blood
that spun him and turned him upside down

under the same stars that have made and turned
millions, now all dead. It doesn’t make sense.
It’s just a way to keep from feeling alone.
I can hear my dad if I could tell him. 

He was easily amused but kind,
which is to say he took our ambitions
and our desires seriously.  
In his last years I saw his boyhood

loneliness return,  and he sat a long time alone
looking at things that he could not understand,
pictures, rings, pages of writing, my mother.
Good luck, he’d say, with that.

- David Allan Cates
