If you’re a coffee lover or just interested in how coffee is roasted you won’t want to miss this event!

They will do a few rounds at the cupping table, roast some coffee (Tom will even turn over the controls to a volunteer), drink lots of coffee and share with you what they do and how they do it.

RECIPEPoached Salmon with Beurre BlancJames Beard
Author and Educator

Beurre blanc, a rich, butter-based sauce from France’s Loire Valley, pairs excellently with fish, especially salmon. As the legend goes, this sauce was stumbled upon by accident, when a chef, rushed for time while making a béarnaise sauce, forgot to add the tarragon and egg yolks and…Voilà beurre blanc!
Yield: 6 servings
Method:
Combine all the ingredients for the court bouillon, except for the wine, and add enough water to cover fish bones and heads (about 4 quarts). Bring to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes. Taste for salt, and correct the seasoning. Add the wine, and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
Wrap salmon in cheesecloth, leaving long ends to use as handles, and lower into the court bouillon. Poach at a feeble bubble 10 minutes per inch of thickness. Test fish with a fork or toothpick until it flakes easily. Be careful not to overcook. Remove salmon to a hot serving dish or gratin dish, and keep warm.
To make the beurre blance, boil the wine, vinegar and onions together in a stainless steel saucepan until they are reduced to 2 tablespoons. Add salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat, and, with a wire whisk, beat in two pieces of butter. When this begins to cream, beat in another piece. Continue in this manner, holding the pan over low heat or warm water, until all the butter is added. The resulting sauce will be creamy and light amber in color. Do not let it get too hot, or it will separate.
Serve fish drizzled with sauce.

Champaign, OH:  State Of The Plate!!


Ok, so I came to you, last week, informing you of this local event, telling you that I would take reservations and that Oct. 2nd would be the cut off. Just a small event. Just a few people. Some of your fellow vendors as speakers. A few local dishes.

Well…hello, my lovelies!!

This has exploded, sky rocketed, and I am happy to report that we are looking at almost 200 people in reservations!!! Yes, we have hit the big time!!!

So, my problem comes into play…they are capping it off at 200. There are just a few spots to go, and I am afraid if I wait to take your reservations, tomorrow night, I will have to turn you away:( I don’t want to take that chance.

SOOOOOO…if you want reservations for this HUGE, HUGE local event, call the Chamber office ASAP!! Today!!! Make the reservations so you have them!!! They are waiting for your call:)

Thanks so much…and thanks for making your local faces, growers, producers, movers and shakers feel so loved!!

Peace and Love,
