Korean Food Sale TODAY (Aug 16)

August 16, 2014 Emerson Garfield

Spokane Hope Christian Reformed Church (스포켄 소망교회) located at 806 W Knox is holding their Korean food sale today (Saturday, August 16) from 11am to 3pm. Apologies for the late notice!

Since last month Spokane Hope CRC has been holding their food sale sale every Friday concurrent with the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market so hungry shoppers can grab some freshly prepared, authentic Korean food to eat there or take away. But once a month they also do a Saturday sale with a larger menu that includes gimbap and bibim bap (see the image below).

There’s also a special offer running today: When you order four meals, you receive your fifth one free. Plus you can place your to-go orders via e-mail.

There’s even an added incentive for returning visitors. They now offer punch cards where your sixth order is free (please note, however, that it can’t be combined with the “order four, get five” offer above).

If you like the food, then be sure to find out more about their fellowship! Their bilingual worship service starts at 12:30pm on Sundays and, not surprisingly, is followed by a meal and socialization.

E-G Summer Potluck in Emerson Park (Aug 13)

August 11, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The annual Emerson-Garfield Summer Potluck will take place in Emerson Park this Wednesday, August 13 starting at 6pm.

The neighborhood potlucks are open to everyone who lives, works or plays in Emerson-Garfield, so feel free to come for the first (or fifteenth) time and invite other people on your block. These potlucks are a great way to meet your neighbors and members of the community in the relaxed surroundings of our neighborhood parks.

Don’t forget to bring a dish to share! It can be anything — a salad, a bowl of fruit, a bag of snack chips, or your world-famous enchiladas. There will be a limited amount of free hot dogs grilled by our resident BBQ maven as a bonus.

The August meeting of the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council will follow the potluck at 7pm. You can download the minutes from the June meeting (pending approval) for review as well as the August agenda.

Market Cooking Demo TODAY (Aug 8) with Adam Hegsted

August 8, 2014 Emerson Garfield

In case you haven’t spotted the news on the Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Facebook page or the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market Facebook page, there’s a free cooking demo TODAY (Friday, August 8) with chef Adam Hegsted at the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market (806 W Knox).

The event ties in with National Farmers Market Week and will feature recipes provided by the Washington State Farmers Market Association using fresh market-sourced ingredients. It’s actually a “no-cook” cooking demo that will showcase kitchen knife skills and amazing low-cost dishes that are possible without even turning on the oven.

The Inlander highlighted the event in yesterday’s Entrée e-newsletter, and The Spokesman-Review highlighted it on this week’s Fresh Sheet.

Even if the demo isn’t up your alley, there are plenty of reasons to make the market today. Fannie’s Ice Pops will be back — they were a huge hit last week — and new this week are Spokane Family Farm (with fresh, local milk) alongside Mama Torres Salsa.

Permanent Sign for the E-G Farmers’ Market

August 4, 2014 Emerson Garfield

The permanent sign for the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market (check out the market’s new Facebook page, by the way) went up on N. Monroe yesterday, with a big thanks to the intrepid souls who were willing to risk their necks on ladders as traffic whizzed past. The sign was provided by one of the vendors, Pleasant Prairie Farms, who was able to work within our slender budget while still finding time to bake amazing bread before last Friday’s market.

This means one less disused signpost along the North Monroe business corridor and a little publicity bump for the market when the sandwich boards aren’t out. And before anyone spots it: Yes, the address should be 806 W Knox instead of 608 W Knox. That will get fixed soon.

Also: The market is hosting a free cooking demo this Friday, August 8 with local chef Adam Hegsted (The Yards, Wandering Table) in celebration of National Farmers Market Week. He’ll be preparing low-cost delicious seasonal recipes using market ingredients. Find out more about the event here.
