Savory Cranberry Grilled Cheese
My friends @glaciers_end recently provided me with some Cranberry Savory Chutney for my kitchen “playtime.” 🙂 I have some other ideas for recipes, but I’ve discovered that you can make a quick and satisfying grilled cheese with it. I just used white sandwich bread with a little mayo on the outside of the slices. Inside, I spread the Chutney on one side, added a slice of American cheese, and cooked both sides in a non-stick, oil-sprayed skillet. Yum! I suspect a white cheddar or baby Swiss cheese would also be good. The Chutney has an extra depth of flavor that isn’t normal in a regular Cranberry sauce. You can find their products at their Marion store (check their posts for times) as well as @leaffoodhub and @carbondalemarket #tastesofsouthernIllinois #asliceofsouthernillinois #southernillinoisliving #shoplocal #southernillinois #Chutney #Cranberry #cranberries #umami #grilledcheese #farmersmarkettotable #farmersmarketfinds #farmersmarkets #Marion #downtownmarion #UniversityMall https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuCJYOL7v0/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

Local Home Shopping is Here!
Most of us are familiar with the home shopping channels on TV. I’ll even admit to shopping and using them from time to time. Let’s face it, they do have some good things. Many years ago, after I was in a car wreck, and getting around was painful, they were very helpful to me.
Fortunately, some of our local shops and boutiques in Southern Illinois are offering a shop at home option in response to the current pandemic and its associated restrictions on businesses.
Local favorites Perfectly Posh and Splitting Image Boutique, both in Marion. are doing live shows on Facebook similar to those the national shopping channels but on a much smaller scale. People can comment that they are purchasing an item and specify if they will pick it up or have it shipped to them.
The Rusty Nail in Salem, a craft and gift shop, has a personal shopper option. People set up a Facetime appointment to have someone walk through the store and help them to shop.
Hopefully, many of the local shops we know and love will be able to keep business going with some of these options until we get on the other side of this COVID-19 thing. Please remember that although these may not be the traditional ways of shopping, we still have some options to shop local and support our friends and neighbors.
Please visit the links below to locally owned shops, markets, and more in Southern Illinois. You can also access these via the ASOSI app or the menu of this website. Ones that have recently been known to offer some type of shopping access during this pandemic are notated with an (*)
Please let us know any ones we have missed so that they may be added…

A Beautiful Day–to Drive Thru the Farmer’s Market
A multitude of well-behaved, socially distanced, people in cars paraded through the Carbondale Farmer’s Market this morning to shop local.
Vendors sold out of some things early. There were gorgeous flowers, plants, spring veggies, meat, eggs, and fur baby treats to buy. You could even pick up coffee, tea, baked goods, or some delicious-looking hot dogs. Even when forced to operate as a drive thru during a pandemic, the farmer’s market continues to be a treat for the senses. It operates on Saturdays mornings from 8:00 a.m. to noon at 2001 West Main Street in Carbondale, Illinois.
