In case you missed it (really, how could you?), the cicadas have arrived! And, boy, do they make their presence known! Did you know that cicadas are considered good luck in the south of France!? Me either! But our own amazing Chef Patrice assures us it is true, so let’s enjoy the little buggers and appreciate the luck they apparently are bringing our way. Stop by J’aime Madeleine to grab a cookie (or a dozen!) and hear all about it! Watch the cicadas fly (and pick up your goodies for the long weekend) at Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, May 29, from 8 a.m. to noon. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pickup! We’ll see you at the Market!

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
