Hola!
We've had such a busy past few weeks, it feels like a real treat to sit down to write to you today that there's not a whole lot to report this week. :) What makes that great, though, is there's a lot coming up in the next few weeks! Yeah! Anyway, a quiet weekend is such wonderful timing for me, because my choir is performing this weekend. I've included a little info on the Reno Baroque Ensemble and for all you classical music lovers, this concert will be a treat. Please check it out!
As for Sunday brunch this week, I'm very excited for this flavor combination. It'll be a surprising and totally delicious take on pancakes and will pair quite nicely with a new wine I'm bringing in for the weekend! That is if you're a breakfast drinker, as am I.Come hungry...and thirsty! :)
And a special thank you to everyone who came in on Mother's Day! Sunday was our record day to date and we all had so much fun. It's such a joy to serve you and to create dishes in our tiny kitchen that you tell us you savor. Too much fun and I thank you coming through our door and for all you do!
Cheers! Sarah |

No Saturday music, but there's something else...
This weekend is one of the rare Saturdays without music, so we'll be closing our regular time. However this is good timing for me and perhaps for you, if you enjoy Baroque music. Reno Baroque Ensemble is performing Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon at Trinity Episcopalian downtown. I sing with this group, so I'll actually be all dressed up in concert black yet still hidden in the choir, where I like to be. It's a group of only 20 voices with a chamber size orchestra, which is a wonderful size. Makes the music feel so much more immediate and intimate. If you're interested in what we're doing, I'll include the links here. http://www.renobaroque.org/ Tickets start at $26, I believe. It's a great group of musicians, lead by our exceptional director Eric Gault. It's a treat for classical music lovers!
Here's a link to some of the music the choir is performing...

Book Club Meeting on May 22nd, 2pm.
We've had a little wait for this book, but the meeting to discuss "The Last Child in the Woods" will be May 22nd, 2pm.
Here's what Publisher's Weekly has to say about our book.
"Today's kids are increasingly disconnected from the natural world, says child advocacy expert Louv (Childhood's Future; Fatherlove
; etc.), even as research shows that "thoughtful exposure of youngsters to nature can... be a powerful form of therapy for attention-deficit disorder and other maladies." Instead of passing summer months hiking, swimming and telling stories around thecampfire, children these days are more likely to attend computer camps or weight-loss camps: as a result, Louv says, they've come to think of nature as more of an abstraction than a reality. Indeed, a 2002 British study reported that eight-year-olds could identify Pokémon characters far more easily than they could name "otter, beetle, and oak tree." Gathering thoughts from parents, teachers, researchers, environmentalists and other concerned parties, Louv argues for a return to an awareness of and appreciation for the natural world. Not only can nature teach kids science and nurture their creativity, he says, nature needs its children: where else will its future stewards come from? Louv's book is a call to action, full of warnings-but also full of ideas for change."
