Tree of Life Food Pantry
Tree of Life Food Pantry provides food for the residents of the eight towns of the Blue Hill peninsula: Blue Hill, Brooklin, Brooksville, Castine, Orland, Penobscot, Sedgwick, and Surry. However, residents who need food and who live in other towns may come to the Pantry for assistance on a more limited basis. No one is turned away. The atmosphere is warm and friendly.
TurnStyle Thrift Shop
The TurnStyle Thrift Shop sells high quality used clothing for women, men and children in addition to accessories and linens. Clothing donations are always welcome and only the best clothes are sold in the shop. Money from the TurnStyle is used to buy food for Tree of Life.
Large, colorful bags of carrots are still readily available in the Pantry. An article I read the other day stated, “A carrot (or more) a day may make a better adage than an apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Here’s a recipe for Carrot Salad with Sunflower and Sesame Seeds
5 carrots
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
honey dijon mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
Shred the carrots by hand or food processor. Place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard and salt.
Pour over shredded carrots and stir until carrots are coated.
Add the seeds and raisins. Toss again until well mixed.
Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
