Dear People....

Once again the wind blew and GA Power's power went out! We've been paying monthly for nuclear energy for years; on again, off again building of the power plant. I, for one, would love that the electricity stays on during something less than a hurricane. Alas, not to be!

After we were notified that the power was back on, Vicki went to the Deli to temp all the food. Hot chicken salad anyone?

We lost all the salads, sauces, dressings, deli meats and cheese, fruit and vegetable salads.

So, dear people, starting over...bear with us while we play catch up.

Soup: Black Bean Chili

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Lorraine

Sweets: Brownies w/Pecans ~ Blueberry Bread Pudding w/Lemon Sauce (it was such a hit last week, I made it again)

Some of us know all about living on the edge; we used to answer the phone without knowing who it was.

Good morning...

Blossoms on the cherry trees are giving way to green leaves. They last such a short time, but worth the view. However, everything that blooms after is bursting out! Love Spring!

So, since we have lunch for 25 leaving the Deli at 10:00 a.m., I'm making this very short!

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Beans 'n Greens

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Garden Patch ~ Tomato Pie

Sweets: Brownies w/Pecans ~ Blueberry Bread Pudding w/Lemon Curd

If you're not at Cherry Blossom Festivities, come see us.

Good morning....

Birthday was a great day! Sunshine, cherry blossoms, and all other manner of Spring - in - GA Flora, pedicure, loads of good wishes and calls and emails from friends and the men I love, dinner OUT with my sweet daughter. Great day!!

However....we've been unable to convince the Deli to run itself, so on to the business at hand:

Even though we weren't open on St. Patrick's Day, we have to have something Irish and green....Irish Bacon & Cabbage Soup and Chocolate Mint Brownies.

And I've been recipe reading again. I found a Coconut IceBox Cake. Some of you may remember ice boxes....usually sat close to the unlocked back door, so the iceman had access to replace the ice. I date myself!

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Irish Bacon & Cabbage

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Asparagus & Spinach w/Swiss ~ Smokey Chicken & Artichoke

Sweets: Chocolate Mint Brownies ~ Coconut IceBox Cake

It just dawned on me that the paper towels at the side of the gas pump are there so you can wipe away your tears after you see how much it just cost to fill your tank.

Good morning...

Well, we were sort of panicked last week. Vicki was called for jury duty and after she called to plead that there were just the two of us to run our business, being told "no," we scrambled. Made a couple of calls and struck out. Then we called the busiest person we know and she said "yes."

So you will see our friend, Para, at the Deli today....even though Vicki was dismissed from said jury duty. She's going to play with us today, so if we need her again, she'll have had some Deli "time" banked!!

My back-up plan was to put the order book on the counter, self-serve cups of ice and a jar for "you decide the amount" of payment....It's a workable plan. I saw a story on the news ages ago about a restaurant run that way. It's a bit impersonal, iffy on the bottom line and counter to the Deli "philosophy" but desperation was setting in!!!

Fortunately, that plan has been tabled.

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Creamy Chicken & Mushroom

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Lorraine ~ Tomato ~ Asparagus

Sweets: Brownies w/Pecans ~ Raisin Bran Muffins

Warm, wonderful weather makes you smile!!

Come see us.

The most expensive vehicle to drive in 2025 is a shopping cart.

Lucy asks Linus, "Did you know that water is the most essential element of life?" Linus answers, "Yes, because without water, you can't make coffee." Smart man, Linus.

Good morning....

Those of you who have Flint Electric service are familiar with the Georgia Magazine which comes each month. It "celebrates the GA lifestyle." Interesting and informative. This month the winners of the Imagine That! Middle School Art Contest were highlighted. Casey Jones won first place in the seventh grade designation and Best in Show with his rendition of the Air Force Museum with the jet parked in front. Iconic for those of us who live in Middle GA.

The students were asked to demonstrate what they love about their community. Mattie Mann, also a seventh grader, thinks it's the Depot and her drawing won second place. It's diagonally across from The Deli and we love it, too!! Nice job, Mattie!

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Vegetarian Chili

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Artichoke & Asparagus

Sweets: Brownies w/Pecans ~ Blackberry Tiramisu

Laughter is a gift that holds happiness in it."

Good morning...

Monday was my grandson's birthday. Wish he was closer so those emailed X'S & O'S could be delivered in person.

My "other" son (so called because he was in and out of our house for years when we lived in KY. And he has joined us for Thanksgiving...flying in from Nevada...for the past four years) was back in KY for his dad's funeral yesterday. Very sad heart for him. Good thoughts and prayers, please.

Noses are red, fingers are blue.
I'm tired of winter. How 'bout you??"

Good wet chilly morning...

Hurry up kind of day....Vicki and I catered a Christening celebration for a sweet baby girl on Monday afternoon. So special.

Good morning....

Skylark Ensemble didn't win the Grammy....insert sad face here! But, they had, by all accounts, a great time in LA. Next year!!!

Good morning.....

Well, we're on to the Super Bowl.....I'm conflicted. I like both the Eagles and the Chiefs. Maybe enjoying the game and cheering the winner at its end is my best bet. Yeah, I'm going with that!!

Before Super Bowl Sunday is Grammy Sunday. While it may not get the fanfare that I think it deserves, my DIL Megan is on a Grammy-nominated album with Skylark Ensemble. So think good thoughts, people!! They make lovely music.

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Pepper Pot (not hot despite the name...it's white chili)

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Ham & Onion Pie w/Swiss ~ Smoky Turkey

Sweets: Brownies w/Pecans ~ Black Forest Trifle ~ Spiced Oatmeal Raisin Bread ~ Cranberry Orange Bread ~ Date Nut Bread

Good morning....

The Deli is closed today. We'll be open tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday. Hoping next week is less hazardous!

Stay warm. See you tomorrow.

Sara Jo & Vicki

01/22/2025

If you've ever said, I'll do that when hell freezes over".....You're scheduled to do that today."

The morning got away from me, so this is late getting to you.....However, I'm of the opinion that most of you are looking out your window at the pretty snow and delighted that you don't have to venture out into it!!!

The Deli is closed today....and if the weathermen continue to be correct in their reporting, tomorrow will be beyond cold and roads icy. Stay tuned.

Have a lovely day. Take care,

Sara Jo & Vicki

Age is just a number, 'til you bend over to tie your shoes."

Good morning....

"Hope springs eternal" for an early Spring; but then, it runs head-on into 38 degrees. Weather people are so funny...not. The description of "breezy" to describe gale force winds and "chilly" to denote the temperature is not helpful. Winter is for polar bears!

Moving forward......

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Best Ever Tomato

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Beef & Mushroom ~ Lorraine

Sweets: Brownies w/Walnuts ~ Pumpkin Bread

Come see us.

You never know what you have 'til you clean house."

On that note, Friends, I have put away the Christmas decorations....I need two more totes for the garland; "living" in large plastic bags in the garage for a year won't do it any good. Did I say, "too much stuff"?

Though packing up and moving from holiday to "normal" is a good thing, the deli looks so empty! Home does too, though the decorations were more modest.

So it's back to normal: Wednesday through Saturday, 10:30 am to 2:00 pm. Juggling the holiday schedule was confusing....I couldn't remember what day it was!

Hope your Christmas time was wonderful and filled with family, friends, good food and lots of hugs and love.

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Broccoli & Cheddar

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Tomato ~ Smoky Turkey

Sweets: Brownies w/Walnuts ~ Cranberry Orange Bread ~ Croissant Bread Pudding w/Caramel Sauce

Come see us.

May the best of the past be the worst of the future!" Ancient Irish Blessing

Good Morning....

We welcomed 2025 quietly...if you don't count the fireworks in the neighborhood! Actually, they were scattered and short-lived.

'Course we had peas and greens on NY day; but in case y'all missed that, I have Blackeyed Peas and Greens Soup today. I'm trying to make sure y'all have a good year!!

Soups: Black Bean Chili and the aforementioned soup

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie ~ Mushroom

Sweets: Brownies w/Walnuts ~ Banana Bread

Have a happy and blessed 2025!

And just like that, the music stopped!! Christmas music. Before the Thanksgiving turkey is roasted, the Christmas music starts and rolls on 'til THE DAY. Then, with whiplash-like abruptness, it's over. Makes one want to take to one's bed.

Hope your holiday was wonderful! Vicki went to her Dad's with lunch and gifts. I baked a little, read my new cookbook (y'all know I love pretty cookbooks!!), and generally had a lazy day.

So....the menu for Friday and Saturday:

Soups: Black Bean Chili ~ Creamy Potato

Quiches: Cheeseburger Pie

Sweets: Brownies w/Walnuts (though I expect y'all have had your fill of sweets!)

Not too involved and our schedule will be the same for New Year's week...closed Wednesday and Thursday; open Friday and Saturday.

Have a safe NY's Eve....eat lots of black-eyed peas and greens on NY's Day for good fortune for the coming year.

Come see us.
