GREETINGS!!! We're closing up the books on 2011 and in reflecting on the year in business, I am just so eternally thankful and grateful to you our customers that our business continues to thrive and grow each year. It's truly an honor to be raising our family in this awesome community! The picture to the left shows our eldest daughter on the deck here at Prima building a brussel sprout and cork snowman during our snowy week a few weeks back.
Thank you!

Langley becomes the scene of a murder every year during "Mystery Weekend" the last weekend of each February. This year it appears that gold fever has led to murder... "In Cold Mud." Thousands of people descend upon our little village to solve this mystery...it's a total blast...I really recommend getting a group together and coming out for this weekend. The range of people who attend is amazing...old, young, families, groups of 70 something women or 30 something couples...it really ranges the gamete and everyone is having a blast! It's one of those weekends I wish I was a visitor, not a worker! Learn more at www.visitlangley.com
Recipe of the month:
People always ask for the recipe for the dressing for our house green salad. It is a very simple red wine vinaigrette:
1/3 cup red wine vinegar to 1 cup olive oil, one shallot, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1 tsp thyme, salt and pepper to taste
everything but the oil goes into the blender, blend until incorporated and then add oil in a slow stream while continuing to blend.
voila

This January and February MUSEO will feature works primarily
by local artists during its “Steampunk” show. About 40 artists have created
both two dimensional and sculptural works reminiscent of the spirit of
adventure, invention and craftsmanship of the early 19th
century. The opening was last weekend and from all accounts it was
amazing. My mother in law, Cary Jurriaans has a piece in the
show...look for it! This upcoming Saturday is the Langley
artwalk...with an opening at Brackenwood featuring the
photography of Earl Olson - artist's reception is from 5:00-7:00. Here
at Prima we've got the art work of Claudia Pettis, Lucy Brennan, David
Price, and Dave Gignac!
