Have you missed me?

(You may as well get out your calendar and scroll down to the bottom…you’re gonna be busy this Saturday!)

While I’ve taken unintentional hiatuses from blogging in the past, I have tried my very best to not disappear this time around! 

“But Slick,” you may say aloud, exasperated, “You’ve only been gone a week!”

I know, I know.  But a week could turn into a month and then into another month and then next you know it, it’s 2013 and slicklaroo.com has not be updated.  I cringe at the very thought!  (Don’t you!?)

 So after some constructive criticism at work (apparently my e-mails are pretty verbose), I’ve decided to do the same in all areas of my life.  While I enjoy my colorful vernacular and using words to paint delicious images in your mind, I get it.  Sometimes less is more.  So…with that said, as concise as I possible could be, I present you with….

 BULLET POINT BLOG POSTS!   A brief recap of the life that is Slick…proud?

 ˚You may be wondering how I am doing with Lent.  Well, folks, I’ll be honest.  Not great.  But if I miss a day (brief catch up-instead of sacrificing something during the Lenten season I am adding reading something edifying/spiritual, thereby sacrificing time), I do make it up!  Right now it’s Thursday and I need to read 3 chapters to be on pace…if that tells you anything.

 ˚You also may be wondering where Monday MUNCH was this week.  I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume you’re not, but just in case:  never fear!  Something delicious will be back this next Monday!  :)

 

Mmmm cookie dough!

 

˚I’ve been LOVING the sunshine here in beautiful Indianapolis.  I love my city in any weather, but if I can go outside without a coat in February, I love it about a million times more.

 ˚There’s this really rad thing called six4six happening on Saturday (March 3rd, 7pm @ Birdy’s to be exact!).  If you like live music, local music and spending time with Slicklaroo (and lots of other, way cooler, people), really, you should be there.  Six Bands 4 Six Bucks, presented by rickyleepots.com and sponsored by Do It Indy, is sure to be a good, good time.  Rock on, Indy.

Monday MUNCH Volume 8: A New Food Experience

February 21, 2012 5 Comments

**A note from Slick:  I know, I know…I started this whole Monday MUNCH thing to share recipes and baking gems.  But since I’m in charge, I’ve decided to use this space to go in a different direction on this Monday.  And you’ll be rewarded, I promise.  I’m experimenting with a homemade Tagalong (yes, the peanut butter chocolate cookie from the Girl Scouts!) recipe that I will share very soon.  **drool**

But for now, a new food experience…

If you don't already, you need to frequent the Indianapolis City Market!

Today I ventured down to the Indianapolis City Market (um how much do I LOVE going to the Indy City Market?!  LOVE!)  for said new food experience.  The “urban farm boys” (Josh and Mark) at Fermenti Artisan just opened their retail/deli space in the City Market.  Today they let some of us IN THE KITCHEN, taught us about what they do, and shared some yummy food.

I still have a TON to learn about live food cultures and crocks and kefir sodas…but I encourage you all to get your butts downtown and try their food for yourself.  What’s great is they work with local farmers to bring you to top notch HEALTHY food.

You can get more information at their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/fermentiartisan) and you should most definitely follow them on Twitter (@FermentiArtisan)!  Also…check them out on Fox59 tomorrow morning at 8:15 to see the guys in action!

And if you’re not sold on these dudes yet, check out the yummy food below.

You can get their awesome Sauerkraut there!

I love cheese. Even more, I love local cheese from Trader's Point Creamery, sold at Fermenti Artisan!

Here's Mark giving us the low down on all the yummy food.

Are you drooling yet?!

 

Now go see the guys at Fermenti Artisan and get your MUNCH on!
