Cookies, Cookies, Cookies Ever wonder how all of Weaver Street Market's delicious cookies get their round shape? For the past 13 years they have been scooped by "Scooper Monkeys." What? You don't know about the Scooper Monkeys? Well, I'd like to tell you that the pastry bakers are so crafty that they trained little monkeys to scoop cookies, but the truth is Scooper Monkeys are all the pastry bakers, pastry volunteers, and any employees with free time. That's right, those scrumptious cookies have been scooped by hand every day for the past 13 years! Why am I telling you this? Because a change has taken place and the Scooper Monkeys are getting some much needed help from the "Formomatic 2005" or as we like to call her, Ethel! More |

| The Epi: My Favorite Bread |
 What do you get when you cross a perfect golden French baguette with a pair of mean scissors? Why, the epi baguette, of course! Cut just before going into the oven, the epi de blé is the nubby, pointy cousin of the traditional baguette. It looks like a stalk of wheat grains, and that's just what its name means: epi de blé is French for sheaf of wheat.To learn more about the epi and to find out the scandalous facts about some other French breads, click here. |

| Book Reading |
 Market Street Books & MapsSouthern Village Thursday, January 26th, 7:00 pm. English-American author, and Weaver Street Market employee, Geoffrey Gilson, will be giving readings from his book, "Dead Men Don't Eat Lunch," the gripping tale of Geoffrey's discovery that the mysterious death of his closest friend (Margaret Thatcher's favorite speechwriter) was intimately connected to the friend being a senior officer of and assassin for MI6, Britain's foreign intelligence service. Geoffrey is a natural storyteller and comic, and his animated readings bring to life the high drama - and sometimes low comedy - of his unique and ongoing adventures. Geoffrey is currently residing and working in the Chapel Hill area, while he puts the finishing touches to his book, and then sets about getting it published. |
| Belgian Beer Dinner | |
 Experience the Diversity of Belgian BeersMonday, January 30 7 pm - 9 pm We are calling upon all self-proclaimed beer geeks and beer lovers alike to join us for Panzanella's first ever Beer Dinner! As many of you know, the "Pop the Cap" campaign prevailed in its efforts to repeal the ban on beers over six percent alcohol in North Carolina. Ever since, the true "beer nerds" have come out of the woodwork with a vengeance, and they have certainly unveiled their true colors! Since much of the excitement has been over the fine Belgian beers now available to us, we've decided to kick off our Beer Dinner series with a Belgian theme. Our own fellow worker and serious beer purist, Jason Cole, will be our speaker for the evening. Belgian He will educate us on Belgian beers and their many styles, and help demystify beer terms such as 'top fermenting' and 'bottle-conditioned.' As beer critic Michael Jackson states, "no other country (even those with far more breweries) has among its native styles of beer such diversity, individuality, idiosyncrasy and color as Belgium." Find out the difference between Trappist Ale and Abbey Ale. Are wheat beer and white beer the same, and what exactly is a 'Farmhouse Ale'? Inquiring minds and palates will be rewarded with numerous tasty dishes and beer offerings. Loyal wine enthusiasts beware! You'll find serious competition in the 'food and drink pairing' arena here, since good beer may change your dining experience forever! Come join a lucky minority of people who will have truly experienced great beer and food in delicious harmony! Tickets are $30 and may be purchased at the Panzanella Restaurant or at the Customer Service Desk at our Carrboro store. |
