Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Are you ready, shoppers?
Whether you’re a guest or hosting, gather local ingredients and gift-items from your local farmers market! Topping Rose House’s winter farmers market begins on Saturday, November 15, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Plus, the restaurant at Topping Rose will be open for breakfast from 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and brunch from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The farmers market will continue to take place on the third Saturday of each month through May. Topping Rose House is located at 1 Bridgehampton-Sag Harbor Turnpike, Bridgehampton. Visit toppingrosehouse.com.
Looking for something different to bring to the next dinner party or gathering? There’s a new Made-in-America vodka that is USDA organic and a smooth drink. The winter wheat that goes into American Harvest is grown on a sustainable family-owned U.S. farm and the water comes from Snake River Plain aquifers in the Northwest. The vodka is distilled in Rigby, Idaho. All of these factors result in vodka with an exceptionally clean taste, free of any of the impurities that mar lesser vodkas. You won’t be disappointed. Find more about American Harvest and cocktail recipes at americanharvestspirit.com.
With all the traveling you’ll be doing in the next few weeks, be sure to stock up on coffee and tea for any unexpected guests (and for yourself, of course). Next time you stop in at Golden Pear for that delicious cup of coffee and scrumptious buttered scone, check out their coffee beans. In an attempt to save a trip to the grocery store, I picked up a bag of “Main Beach” blend. It’s heavenly and has made each morning reminiscent not only of the East Hampton beach of my childhood, but of that subtly chocolate-y, hazelnutty secret blend you can only find at Golden Pear. I found mine at the Golden Pear on the corner of Main Street and Hampton Road in Southampton.
