Ladies & Gentlemen… Start Your Ovens!

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

The race is on over the weekend to finish any last minute shopping, gift wrapping and baking. Just remember, when it comes to baking, Southport Grocery & Cafe
is the ultimate Pit Stop.

For the seasoned veteran, we have everything you need to bake from scratch. Example: We don’t merely carry vanilla, we have Vanilla Powder, Clear Vanilla and Vanilla Extract. Speaking of extracts, we’ve also got
Orange, Lemon, Almond & Coffee Extracts. Food Coloring? How about every color of the rainbow? Varietals of chocolate range from semi-sweet to bittersweet.

If you want to bake, but the clock is against you. We can give you an assist. Try one of the Jacques Torres mixes: Mudslide or French Kiss Cookies, Pure Bliss Brownies ($14.00). The Barefoot Contessa has: Chocolate Chunk, Pecan Shortbread
and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk ($11.50). For decandence we steer you to The King’s Cupboard line: White Chocolate Hazelnut Cake Mix ($12.50) and Triple Chocolate layer Cake ($8.25).

If you simply don’t bake or you’d like to augment the cookies you baked yourself Southport Grocery & Cafe still carries a limited amount of our signature, homemade cookie assortments. 1 lb. box ($16.50), 1/2 lb. cylinder ($8.50)

And we don’t condone passing our cookies off as your own…That would be cheating!


The Gift Basket That Keeps On Giving

Friday, December 7th, 2007

As the old adage goes, “Never look a gift horse in the mouth.” But if that gift horse is trying to give you any old gift basket, from any old store you just might have
to look it in the mouth, and say, “Sheesh, you might as well have gotten me a gift certificate.”

If originality is what you’re looking for, look no further than Southport Grocery & Cafe. We create custom unique gift baskets.
You name a price and tell us a little bit about who you’re buying for and we do the rest!

Perfect for anyone from the Burgeoning Gourmand to a Soup & Salad Guy… From Stay-at-Home-Dad to Modern-Mom, our shelves are stocked for Holiday Giving.

If you wait until December 15th, we’ll be able to add our annual batch of holiday cookies to your gift basket.

And those are something no gift horse should go without!
