jays' day SIRLOIN ROASTS SAUSAGES APPLES PRIME GRADE APPLE-ALLSPICE HONEYCRISP 7 | Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, October 15, 2015 CHEESE ...SOME STAFF PHOTO/JIM MASON The correct nomenclature for these would be `Top Sirloin Roasts', but we use our own name so that we don't get confused. These are cut from the same meat that we cut the steaks from, and they're `leaned-out' to make sure you don't have waste and unusable bits. They are good oven roasts, and especially good if you prefer leaner cuts of beef. OFF Sizes range from 2lb to a max of about 7lb, which is THIS wEEk more than enough to feed a dozen. Reg. $11.95/lb Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville staffers Julie Angliss (from left), Ronann Watts and Kathryn Jones cheer on the Blue Jays at a United Way barbecue at the Municipal Offices Friday. Staff members watched part of the game on a big screen, while enjoying hot dogs and fries. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Make a difference on election day The election on Oct. 19 may determine our government for the next four years. If a party wins a majority government with 38 per cent of the vote, but only 50 per cent of the eligible voters actually vote, it means that only 19 per cent of the electorate has given a four-year mandate to a party the majority of Canadians may not wish to govern. That is why it is very important to get out and vote. Study the issues and what each party has to offer, and vote. It is also important for those 18 to 35 years old to have your say by voting. If you want online voting, get out this time and vote for a party that will make it easier for you next time. This is your chance to make a difference, so please vote. Two to choose from, the first being Swiss Appenzeller, a semi-dry aged cheese that has a nutty and long flavour, which is really good sliced on sandwiches or for cooking. Reg. $5.99/100g And the second is Wensleydale with Dried Cranberries. This is more of a dessert cheese because it has a bit of a sweet edge, but that's never stopped me from eating the whole piece with a glass of wine before dinner. Reg. $5.29/100g Both these will be featured this week at 1/3 off and, as usual, samples will abound. ­ Further, Mariella has arranged a deal on crackers to go with the cheese, and these are from `Stonewall Kitchen'. There are many varieites to choose from. Ranging from a regular of $8.99 to $9.99 a box, but featured this week at 1/3 off, OFF just like the cheese! THIS wEEk PLEASE This crop has been a bit on the pricier side for the whole season, both those from California and even now the locals. The redeeming feature is that they have been excellent quality and these are especially so, and I know that's important to you because many have told me so. each featured at 25% Size '12's' from Ontario. off, while supplies last.

From Bay of Fundy. /lb $ 95 9 wHAT'S COOkIN' We have very big soup pots in our basement kitchen, and they'll be busy with this soup this week. It's Cream of Root Vegetable Soup, a very big handle to describe a big assortment of ingredients, which are gold potatoes, sweet onions, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and turnip, and from above the ground, celery. It's chicken stock-based, and seasoned perfectly. Featured at $5.95/900ml We will have Roast Beef on special. This is a deli best-seller, and with good reason. These are old-time rump roasts that we trim, clean, season with spices (an old-fashioned thought) and slow-roast until they are on the rare side. Reg. $4.49/100g Featured at 1/3 off this week. Next, our salad feature will be Kentucky Cole Slaw, but in case of any confusion, this is not the Colonel's! We use red and white cabbage, carrots, parsley, and celery seed, and dress it with a sweet and sour vinaigrette. Featured at 99¢/100g Next up, we'll be making Breaded Fish every day, in this case, tilapia, and it will be available with our homemade tartar sauce. Featured at $2.99/100g And lastly, we've made a rather large batch of our Scotch Eggs. What these are is a hard-boiled egg which has been `enrobed' in our breakfast sausage meat, then breaded and deep fried. Are they good? Well, there are a lot of sad faces when they're gone... Featured at $2.99 ea DELI! AT THE Dr. Andrew A. Cherkas Stouffville Cadets flying high, thanks to community I have volunteered around this community for a number of years, currently with Royal Canadian Legion Branch 459, serving as the rep to Marion Orr Air Cadet Squadron 707 for the past seven years. They usually are committed to tagging on the same weekend as the Markham Fair. This event is the primary means of financing the training of the cadets. The conflict with the fair usually hampers their fundraising. However, these cadets, combined with the support of the businesses and the citizens of the community, raised funding to within $8 of the funds raised last year. These cadets are also committed to the direction of the Squadron Sponsoring Committee and the Ontario Provincial Command (who say when they can tag and when they can go gliding, which co-incidentally were the same weekend). As a result, we of the SSC found that the cadets cannot tag and glide at the same time, resulting in the estimates of the SSC being reduced drastically from the estimates of years gone by. The final count resulted in the cadets, the citizens and the great businesses of Stouffville pulling this fundraising effort off, so that this 707 Squadron can continue to grow with the community. Well done, everyone, give yourself a pat on the back. Well, you're probably turkey-ed out after Thanksgiving, so we're putting both of our roast beef sandwiches on special this week. The first is our classic, Shaved Sirloin Roast Beef Sandwich with caramelized onions, roasted peppers, arugula, and horseradish aioli. The other is a newer creation, our Roast Beef & Brie Sandwich with sautéed mushrooms, bacon, arugula and maple dijon aioli. Featured at $6.99 ea Sunday Brunch will begin with our Root Veggie Soup, followed by either Penne Carbonara, Chicken Breasts in a White Wine Cream Sauce or Beef Bourguignon, with either mashed, rice, or red cabbage, tea or coffee and a mini dessert ­ all for $11.95. Served from noon till 2. LUNCH? THIS wEEk? AkING wHAT'S From our frozen section, we'll have two items: the first being our Tomato Basil Soup in the 900ml size. Reg. $7.95 ea, and the second item will be Dijon Chicken Breast, which is made with poached air-chilled chicken breasts, sliced and then drizzled with a Dijon mustard sauce. This will serve 2-3 people, and it's probably at its best with rice. 8"x5" size. % OFF Reg. $20.95 ea. Both these THIS wEEk items will be featured at DINNER? wHAT'S FOR SPECIALS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY TO CLOSING SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18 Hours: Mon. ~ Fri. 8:00-8:00 | Sat. 8:00-6:00 ~ Sun. 9:00-6:00 25 Now that the Thanksgiving dust has settled a bit, we'll be baking with raspberries this week. We get these in quantity during the season from Whittamore's Farm, and freeze them away in order that we are guaranteed an adequate supply of really good berries ­ which they are! Raspberry Streusel Pies will be first on the list. Unlike almost any `bakery' that I know, we make these in their entirety, from the pastry, the filling, and that butter-streusel top that my wife loves the best. 9" size. Reg. $12.95 each Chocolate-Raspberry Muffins will follow. I hear lots of comments about our muffins because they are not `scooped' from a pre-mix, but made from scratch every morning of the week. The differeence is not just in the taste, but the texture, too! And you must know by now that the ingredients are the best available ­ even down to Callibault chocolate. Reg. $1.99 ea Chocolate-Raspberry Cake. These are buttercream cakes, which will be a bit richer than some, but luxurious in flavour, and oh my, the texture! Do not eat these directly from the fridge (you will need at least a modicum of control), but allow them to `temper' to get the full experience happening. Reg. $25.95 Lg / $15.95 Small Raspberry Crème Brûlée. On a recent trip to Ireland, I found this venerable item was not originally French at all, but of English origin. They say it was hijacked! No matter to us really, because its lineage is of less import than the enjoyment factor that these bring. You will find them pretty smooth, I'm going to say luxurious again, with the subtle edge that raspberries impart. These come in a china ramekin and the deposit for it is included in the price, and can be returned for refund. Reg. $4.50 ea All these items will be feautred this week at 25% off our regular retails. P.S. We will be making a % few more pumpkin pies this week if you are OFF THIS still savouring that flavour... wEEk 25 4476 16th Ave. (Just W. of Kennedy) Steve Pickard Stouffville 905-940-0655 twitter.com/villagegrocer facebook.com/thevillagegrocer.unionville instagram.com/thevillagegrocer www.thevillagegrocer.com
