Hello to our Kay’s Coffee Shop peeps! Wow, do I miss you all and hope you’re doing well.
As many of you know, Melinda and I moved to Arizona. I am mostly the resident zookeeper, as we are home to three cats and three dogs. Melinda’s adventure has taken her to the field of publishing. She is the owner/publisher/editor of Edible Central Arizona. (I’m sure you remember the Edible Ojai & Ventura County magazine we carried in the Ventura and Camarillo shops.)
A regular feature of Edible Central Arizona is the recipes. I have the pleasure of being the recipe tester for submitted recipes and have also had the honor to contribute recipes (nom de plume Dorothy Cattz).
I am excited to share with you that one of the recipes in the upcoming Fall/Winter 2026 issue is Cinnamon Swirl Scones. Yes, the same weekend specialty we served in both shops for many years. If you would like a copy of this Edible Central Arizona issue, send a DM with your name and mailing address. We’ll get it in the mail to you in plenty of time for your holiday baking.
Blue skies and tailwinds,
LaDonna
