Weaver Street Market
Homemade Soup! To keep us warm and to celebrate National Soup Month, Weaver Street Market is featuring a different market-made soup in the Grab 'N Go each week. This week you'll find our Minestrone in the Grab 'N Go case for $3.49/10 oz. or $5.99/32 oz. Our bread recommendation: take a loaf of Ciabatta, slice it in half lengthwise, with the knife parallel to the counter, exposing the maximum amount of crumb. Toast each half either in the toaster or under the broiler until just brown, drizzle with olive oil. If you incline toward garlic, rub a cut garlic clove over the toasted oiled bread. This is sort of like what you'd get in Rome. More |

 GREEN Soups are good for you!During these cold winter months Mother Nature povides healthful greens to keep us strong and healthy. Kale provides calcium and lots of vitamins to fight colds and other diseases. Pair this soup with a WSM Rustic Roll for a hearty lunch or waist-trimming supper.

| Seafood Stock | |||
 Take your cooking to the next level - try a seafood stock to deepen the flavor of your soups and more.Seafood Stock from native New Orleanian, Brennan Kreller Next time you get peel and eat shrimp, save the shells to make stock or crab shells are great, and fish heads/bones work also (all of the above is another idea). Sometimes I add a few tablespoons of shrimp powder (easily found at Latin markets—"polvo de camaron"). If you don't find fish heads/bones at a regular market, an Asian market with a good seafood selection will have them. Whatever shells/bones/heads you have, throw in a stockpot and cover with water. Add a halved onion, 1 or 2 whole stalks of celery and 1 or 2 peeled carrots (whole or halved). I add ~1 tsp salt, ~1/2 tsp black pepper and ~1 tsp Tony's. Boil uncovered, reduce by 1/2, strain, and use as you need (for gumbo, stew, soup, jambalaya, étouffée, even seafood pasta sauces, etc.). |

| Everybody Loves Pie | |||
 Celebrate Pie! National Pie Day January 23 The Weaver Street Market Pastry Department is celebrating January a little differently this year. We will be celebrating one day in January. Don't take this the wrong way - we think the entire month of January is awesome, but one day is truly special. We have one day this month that could be a national holiday (if we have our way) someday. Before you look on your official calendars, stop! You won't find it. Congress has overlooked the importance of this day so far. Never fear: where the government drops the ball, the pastry bakers are ready to take over and not look the other way! Join us in celebrating the not-quite-official National Pie Day (January 23). On National Pie Day, January 23, we will be selling our 6" pies at half price so that everyone can celebrate. You can also try 3 new flavors of pies all month long: Sake Fruit Pie, Chocolate Almond Silk Pie, and a new recipe, Sweet Potato Pie made with North Carolina sweet potatoes. The American Pie Council has established January 23 as National Pie Day. So celebrate! Help us affirm National Pie Day on January 23 at all Weaver Street Market locations. Go Pies! Free 6" pie! For the first 100 customers at each store that purchase and donate canned goods on January 23 ONLY. Canned goods will be donated to the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service and Orange Congregations in Mission. |

| Hope for the Holidays Results |
 Hope for the Holidays still going strong!Weaver Street market shoppers have once again come out strong in support of Hope for the Holidays. For nine successful years, the Hope for the Holidays fund-raiser has encourage shoppers to choose items that contributed anywhere from 50¢ to $5.00 to the fund which is distributed to local charitable groups. Clementines topped the list of items purchased with 924 sweet boxes flying out the door, the next most popular item was WSM's Famous Stollen at 834 loaves going home for Christmas. Quickbreads, Peacestachios, Prosecco, and Equal Exchange Chocolate bars all made a great showing at or over 500 items each! What a feast for the Holidays and a terrific show of support for our charitable groups. This year, thanks to your help, Weaver Street Market will donate over $6,000 divided equally to Paws4Ever, UNC Campus Y's HOPE Gardens, and the Cooperative Community Fund. Beginning as the Animal Protection Society of Chapel Hill in 1962, Paws4Ever advocates for animal welfare in Orange County through four core areas: education, care, adoption, and training. Paws4Ever is dedicated to improving animal welfare and fostering a humane community, through building strong positive bonds that last a lifetime between people and animals. Structured as an all-inclusive program to employ the homeless, focused on a community garden, HOPE Gardens is designed to help people experiencing homelessness overcome obstacles to finding employment. HOPE Gardens is part of the UNC Campus Y's Homeless Outreach Poverty Eradication (HOPE) program. Through HOPE Gardens, homeless persons will have the opportunity to build job skills as they plant, cultivate, and harvest their crop. Weaver Street Market's Cooperative Community Fund (CCF) is a permanent fund whose interest is given annually to local groups working on issues related to sustainable agriculture and organic food, hunger and malnutrition, environmental protection, and cooperatives. With your Hope for the Holidays contributions, we expect that the CCF will continue to grow rapidly and help us to achieve our mission as a vibrant, sustainable commercial center. |

 Deck the Curbs with Boughs of Yard Wasteby Emily Buehler, Contributing Writer Winter might seem like the season of laziness, but frigid windy days can leave a scattering of broken branches in the backyard. Some of us still have Christmas trees to get rid of; and if we have any ice storms this winter, there will be more yard debris to contend with. Putting small piles of brush back into the woods provides habitat and shelter for birds and small mammals. Bird watchers might want to build a giant brush pile to attract birds to a yard; in the spring, resident birds will help protect the garden from bugs. For tips on building a good brush pile, click here. If this isn't an option, yard waste can be collected at the curb (if you live in town); remember to remove non-compostable tinsel from Christmas trees. Burning is NOT allowed in incorporated areas of the county. Each town's requirements for yard waste pickup differ, so contact your public works department for the rules: Carrboro Public Works (919) 918-7425 or email Chapel Hill Public Works (919) 968-2796 or email Hillsborough Public Works (919) 732-1270 ext.77 If you live in the unincorporated areas of the county, the Solid Waste Convenience Centers accept up to half a pickup load of yard waste at no charge. Yard waste can also be taken the Orange County landfill for $15.00/ton. |
