Hello from La Donna’s Fancy Foods… It’s Labor Day Weekend! Weather is supposed to be fantastic! Yea! Drop by and pick up some cheesy goodies if you are headed to the lake, perhaps a tailgate party or just having friends in for the last big hurrah of the summer. We have created a new Roasted Red Bell Pepper Hummus that is mighty tasty and works well with veggies or chips. You can even use it as a sandwich spread for something a little different than mustard or mayonnaise. Our new door has been installed and is painted bright red! You’ll be able to find us even easier now! New in the Store… Summer was slow, but we are counting on fall to pick up big time. With that in mind we have been focusing on getting some new products in and restocking some old friends…We have OU/OSU Wine & Cheese Totes and Beer Totes. We even have the wine totes without school affiliation. OU/OSU Aprons for the cook. Butter Bells are back in 6 different colors and a new design! We love them! Fall makes me want pancake breakfasts so, we have Daddy Cakes pancake mixes and Highland Sugarworks Maple syrup back in stock. Plus we’ve added Bo’s Best Buckwheat Pancakes and also their Crepe Mix. Heidi’s Pancake mixes should be here any day. Sourdough, Blue Corn, Chocolate Chip, Buckwheat, Cottage Cheese, Blueberry, Buttermilk, Cinnamon…whatever kind of pancake you want, we’ve got it! Focus On…Beer and Cheese I took a beer tasting class from Randa Warren this summer and it was enlightening. Cheese is so easy to pair with beer. They were made to go together. Basically it’s stronger beer, stronger cheese. Lighter beer, milder cheese. So, if you’re drinking Natty Light, feel free to buy that tasteless cheese they sell at the local market. But, if you are drinking a good beer, for heaven’s sake pair it with a good cheese! We can help you find one for whatever you’re drinking. FREE BEER TASTING EVENT! Invitation Only – stop by La Donna’s for free tickets! It’s Oklahoma folks, you must have a ticket to get in and drink! We are participating in a Beer Tasting with Grand Vin Bottle Shop and the Blue Moon Café, 3519 South Peoria on Saturday, Sept. 25 6-9pm. La Donna’s will provide the cheese, Blue Moon will provide tasty treats. Grand Vin has organized 30 beers from Choc Brewing Co., Marshall Brewing Co., COOP Ale Works, Oklahoma Beer Imports, Republic National Distributing, Paragon Brands and Quality Beverage. Sounds like a fun Saturday Evening! Employee News… Aimee is retaining that Employee of the Month title and big award. She worked on her day off from her other job so that I could have a weekend off. Wasn’t that nice of her? Reminder…the first Tuesday of each month 5% of all cheese sales go to The Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma. Help the hungry and buy cheese!
