| Grilled Salads We love to grill out all year round; it's an easy way to get great tasting meals. At this time of year when all those wonderful local greens are so abundant, we like to make grilled salads. Salmon, chicken, shrimp or beef strips on top of Alex Hitt's Romaine, or John Soehner's arugula are divine and good for you, too. Of course, once the local vegetables hit the scene, grillin' really goes wild. Corn, peppers, zucchini, onions, sweet potatoes, and eggplant can all be grilled to perfection for salads, sandwiches, or sides. More... |

Lawrence, one of Panzanella's chefs, says you can take a whole eggplant and set it right on the grill to cook it. We like to slice our zucchini lengthwise in wide flat strips of about a quarter of an inch and grill it that way. Try blending cayenne, onion powder, and garlic powder together for a quick, spicy seasoning for chicken, shrimp or veggies. If you want to grill your shrimp or salmon strips, Weaver Street Market has wooden skewers in the meat department. Don't forget to soak them well beforehand. The skewers are also perfect (or fun, depending on who's skewering and who's watching) for shish kabobs. The meat department also has pre-made all beef patties from Maple View Farm, so now you have no excuse to get out and grill!| Weekly Produce Specials | |||||||||||||

Recipes: Grilled Salads |
Grilled Caesar Salad1 lb boneless chicken breast 1 head Romaine lettuce from Peregrine Farm 1/4 sweet red onion 2 tbp parmesan cheese 1/2 lemon 1 cup croutons Newman's Own Olive Oil & Vinegar Dressing Marinate a boneless breast of chicken in your favorite Italian dressing, for at least 30 minutes. While chicken is marinating, slice Romaine lettuce into strips in a large bowl. Add thin slices of sweet red onion, croutons, parmesan, and toss with a little dressing. Heap lettuce onto two plates. After chicken is grilled, slice into strips and place on lettuce. Squeeze the juice of 1/4 slice of lemon over all, and serve. Serves two. Grilled Shrimp or Salmon Salad 1 lb shrimp, or 1 filet salmon 1-2 heads Boston lettuce from Peregrine Farm 1 avocado cut into cubes 1 tomato cut into cubes Annie's Thousand Island dressing You can use either shrimp or salmon for this recipe. I like my shrimp dunked in a mixture of garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne, then skewered and grilled. For salmon, cut fillet in to 1/4 inch strips and marinate in Shoyu Gold sauce. Skewer and grill. For the salad, wash and tear both heads of lettuce and place on plates. Top with tomato, avocado, and shrimp or salmon. Drip salad dressing over all lightly. Serves two. Grilled Beef Salad 1 lb stir fry beef Pepper Bourbon Marinade from WSM Meat Department 1 bag Eco Farm arugula 1/2 orange slices, or 1/2 cup blueberries 1/2 cup of Grana Padano shavings Annie's Raspberry Vinaigrette Marinate the beef stir-fry strips in the Pepper Bourbon Marinade for 30 minutes or longer. Skewer and grill. Remember, spinach and arugula need to be really washed well. I like to soak them in a big bowl and then rinse each piece under the faucet to get the grit out. Tear the spinach or arugula into a big bowl and toss with vinaigrette, arrange on two plates. Top with blueberries or oranges, grilled meat and cheese shavings. Serves two. |

All Natural Gourmet Charcoal |
It's easy to use and cleaner than conventional charcoal briquets, with no chemical additives to make it smoke, flavor, or light! You don't need lighter fluid for these babies. Just crumple up some newspaper in the bottom of your grill, top with charcoal chunks and light. Be patient though, because this is all-natural charcoal, it may take just a little longer to light. |

Kids of all ages can dance the night away or catch-up with friends.Weaver Street Market loves to see people enjoying our lawn and connecting with their community. To keep this event a safe and fun place, we ask that you only bring friendly, well-behaved dogs on leashes and please clean up after them. We want the children who attend our event to have a safe and happy time too, so we ask that they not be allowed to climb the trees or the Crepe Myrtles. Lastly, please enjoy the fountain from its perimeter. Thank you for your help in making this event safe and fun for everyone. May 26 - Saludos Compay Trio - original and South American music June 2 - The Tim Stambaugh Band - Bluegrass, Celtic, folk & traditional After Hours & the ALE Regulations We know how much fun it is to sit on the lawn and drink some beers, but unfortunately North Carolina law forbids Weaver Street Market from selling six packs for consumption outside. You can buy beer by the glass outside at the tasting table, singles, or half-gallon Growlers from Carolina Brewery, but please—be kind to our cashiers and don't buy a six pack to take outside.

The Artspace will comprise of: a community darkroom, critique/workshop space, formal gallery, digital video editing suite, documentary reading library, artist studio and a bookshop. Resulting from the generous support of the Strowd Roses Foundation and Branch Gallery, Daylight is getting closer to the financial goal that will allow the space to open - however, there's still a ways to go...

| Amazing Tick Remover |
The Wellness Department now offers a clever tool specifically designed to remove, safely and effectively, ticks embedded in the skin. Invented in Sweden, this delicate instrument allows for precise placement on the tick enabling the removal of the whole tick including the head. This tool can be used for humans and animals. It sells for $8.95 in our Wellness Department and is well worth it.Remember to check yourself and your pets for ticks after walking in the woods, but don't panic if you find a tick. Not all ticks carry disease and if you catch them early, your chances of getting sick are very small. The best method for removing a tick is with a pair of fine tweezers or with an instrument like the one described above. Using alcohol, petroleum jelly, a match, or any other 'old wives tale' remedy can cause more harm than good. |

| Southern Italian Wine Dinner - Monday, June 13 from 7pm until 9pm |
As little as 20 years ago southern Italian wines received little recognition in the international market. The reds were often clumsy, over ripe and in the case of Campanian reds, far too acidic for most peoples tastes. The whites on the other hand were very often oxidized and stinky. The majority of whites were used for making vermouth, Marsala, or drunk by the locals who would go down to the local Cantina Sociale (growers coop) and fill a demijohn of 20 or 30 liters, top it off with olive oil to seal it from oxygen (the oil floats to the top) and keep it below the house for however long it might take to finish off. The reds were mostly used as "vini da taglio" or cutting wines. These wines, usually Primitivo and Negroamaro from Puglia, were shipped in tanker trucks to wineries in the north, usually to Tuscany, Piemonte, and France, where they were added to lighter wines, such as Sangiovese from Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, Barbera in Piemonte, and to some of the lighter French reds. They added color and ripe fruit that were sometimes lacking back in the days before vineyard science became what it is today. The bulk wines were often offloaded at night and paid in cash. This still occasionally occurs today, though stricter control over DOC production makes it far rarer. Flip ahead to the 1990's and you will see a renaissance of southern Italian viticulture. With investment in cold fermentation tanks for the whites and, more attention to the raw materials in the vineyard, a few visionary winemakers who believed in the regions potential, and some political allies in high places, Southern Italian wines have taken their place on the world table. Aglianico, from Campania and Basilicata, is now spoken of in the same terms as Barolo or Brunello. Puglian reds from Negroamaro and Primitivo are enjoyed throughout Europe and America as wonderful accompaniments to Italian cuisine, and the whites from both regions might best be described as bottled sunshine: floral bouquets followed by clean citrus and tropical flavors. They go wonderfully with seafood, which makes up a large part of the southern Italian diet. Tickets are $35 per person and are available at the Service Desk in Carrboro and at Panzanella. |
