Date: July 10th 2010

Hey all! I know it’s been a while – and we’re going to keep it short and sweet. I do tend to run on…

Firstly, I have a favor to ask – it will help me enormously in drafting our new business plan. It’s an 8-question survey, just about things like age, where you live, etc. It’s completely anonymous and will take you 30 seconds – just tick the boxes! Thanks in advance, and here’s the link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FRRGXGK

MARKET DATES
We’ll be back at One Hanson starting NEXT SUNDAY, 7/18. Come say hi! Also don’t forget that this month’s New Amsterdam Market is on a SATURDAY – the 24th, more precisely.

NEWS
The summer heat continues to wear us out…but thankfully we have a new team member! We just hired our first full-time employee, miss Joan Baker – FCI friend and crazy-talented chef (plus she’s more organized than us). Welcome, Joan!

The S’More is continuing to knock everyone’s socks off – but what’s this? A NEW bar? That’s right folks, we’ll have a summer pie bar too. Pie crust, delicious fruit preserves and crunchy streusel topping, all dipped in dark chocolate. …awwww yeeeeeah.

EVENTS
We’re tentatively scheduled to do a demo at our alma mater, the French Culinary Institute! It’s really only open to students and alumni, but if you really want to sneak in, we can’t stop you…that’s Tuesday, July 27.

PRESS

• Did you catch us in Real Simple? No? It might be too late, but if you can pick up a copy of the June issue, we’re in there (as is Brooklyn Brew Shop)! p. 76, to be exact.
• Food & Wine also had a very nice mention of us in an article about pop-up stores – who knew we’d have our names in the same paragraph as Dorie Greenspan someday?
• Attention TV junkies: The Cooking Channel’s show FoodCrafters airs every Monday – and in a few short weeks, they’ll be featuring Liddabit! Tune in Monday, August 2 at 10pm to see us in action.

That’s it! Stay cool, and we’ll see you at the markets.

heart,
Liz & Jen
