In a stroke of very good luck, Mae's has been lucky enough to have the talented Tallulah Norton join the team this month (and not a minute too soon as I'm 30 seconds away from having this baby). If I've learned anything in my very short time with a business in Old Town, it's that y'all don't cook. This is not judgment; most of you are still reeling from trying to get your kids back in school after 18 months of virtual learning. So many of you expressed a real sincere desire to swing by, grab dinner for you and your family, stock up on a few necessities, and go home. I wanted to provide you with Prepared Foods dinners your family would enjoy multiple times a week and something we could really be proud of.

Tallulah came aboard as our Prepared Foods Chef, and after two very short weeks, she has created a menu of incredibly tasty options, fulfilling my wish and more. As a soon-to-be mom, I personally have been eating from her dishes all week and will be relying on them heavily in the sleepless, crazy weeks to come. She's started with grab-and-go salad (I like the fall salad with Kale & Delicata Squash), pasta salads (go for the BLT), charcuterie boards (pre-cut and perfect for two), soups, and dinners. Every dish comes in an oven-able container with reheating instructions. She's been utilizing products directly from our grocery, including meats we sell sourced directly from D'Artagnan (hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and woman-owned!). In short, I couldn't be more pleased and hope that you all will swing by, say hello to Tallulah, and check out our newest and most exciting department at Mae's Market. She's literally taken all of the hard work out of dinner. 

Also, as soon as ABC can get it together and issue our license, we will have wine and beer and cocktails to go - cause, duh. 

Finally, if you haven't pre-ordered Thanksgiving Turkeys or Sides & Pies with us, please do. They are going fast!
