ATLANTA!

 

Rhonda, Danielle and I are in Atlanta on a buying trip and it's absolutely freezing down here.  In fact...it's snowing right now!  Usually a January gift show is a respite from the cold Northeast but not this time.  We are, however, finding some wonderful new things for all 3 Hammertown stores.  We'll be sending pictures to Auntie M for posting throughout the week.  Click here to see what we've found so far...


Here's what's happening in and around Hammertown this week...

Stissing House will be hosting a special Game Dinner on January 30th.  Ariane Daguin, celebrated chef/owner of d'Artagnan, the famous specialty meat and game purveyor, will be cooking a delicious game dinner with Stissing House Chef & Owner, Michel Jean.

A devoted advocate for natural, sustainable and humane production, Ariane and D'Artagnan have been at the forefront of the organic movement in America, pioneering organic, free-range chicken (years before the USDA allowed the word "organic" on the label) and humanely-raised veal.

WELCOME OUR NEWEST HAMMERTOWN CHOICE: STISSING HOUSE RESTAURANT & TAVERN

I remember when I first heard the former owners of the famed, Provence bistro in New York City were taking over the Stissing House in Pine Plains...I was beside myself with anticipation and excitement.   Since that time, owners Patricia & Chef Michel Jean and the Stissing House have become my friends as well as an integral part of Pine Plains and the entire Hudson Valley restaurant scene so we're delighted to have them as one of our Choices.

WINTER HAIR....IT'S BACK!!!

No matter how hard you try...in fact, it seems the more you try the worse your hair looks.  I was getting my "hairapy" at Hylton-Hundt Salon last week and everyone was talking about their "winter hair blues".  Static...dryness...dullness...were common complaints.  So, of course, I asked my hair guru, Bonnie, for some tips on what to do.

watercress soupTHIS WEEK'S RECIPE: WATERCRESS SOUP (POTAGE AU CRESSON)

Start the year healthy...I'm going to try to.

Soup is a good choice when it's cold and you're trying to eat in a more healthy way.  It's filling and comforting and you can always make a lot of it for multiple meals.   This recipe fits the bill!
