Kitchen Aid Demonstration
We just nailed down the final details of this great event with Dean Stephenson of KitchenAid. He'll hold two demonstrations on the 7th, from 12 until 1:30, and again from 1:30 until 3:00. He'll be showing the fabulous versatility of their mixer and its many attachments, including the ice cream maker, food processor, and blender. There will be specials, giveaways, and even a drawing during each session for a 3 1/2 cup mini food processor valued at $39.99.
This is a great time to pick up one of their mixers for someone special over the holiday! They're not just for making cookies, as you'll see when you come in! They're made in the great U.S. A. and have withstood the test of time. KitchenAid is offering a rebate of $50 on their 5, 5.5, & 6 quart mixers, beginning November 23rd until December 26th, 2013.
TASTING: Thurs., December 12th - 6-8pm
Stop by the store for a warming cup of tea and a sweet bite, compliments of Tea Forte. You'll want to enter our drawing for some fun things from Tea Forte. We also have some nice Tea Forte giveaways for our guests that evening! While you're in the store, why not fill out a wish list to keep on file? Your significant other will more than appreciate the help with their holiday shopping!
DEMO: Sat., December 14th: 1-3pm
Traditional Italian Pizzelles
Join us as we teach and serve a traditional Italian cookie. A crisp waffle-like treat, not too sweet.....the perfect accompaniment to this year's cookie tray or just to enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea. We will be serving them hot off the pizzelle iron dusted with a sprinkle of powdered sugar. So, mark your calendar for this event; it's sure to inspire a new tradition in your home. Buon Natale!
TASTING: Thurs., December 19th - 6-8pm
The DREAM TEAM of the Cocktail Hour; Steven Seelye, of Hope Family Wines, and Steven Grostick, our resident Chef and James Beard Nominee, will be presenting A Toast to the Holidays!

Also, Chef Steven will show us how to prepare some delicious, fuss-free appetizers using some of our products from Stonewall Kitchen and American Spoon. What a delicious way to spend an evening!
