Check out what I had to eat yesterday!<\/p>\n

If this food looks somewhat familiar, it’s because it’s already been on the blog this week. MK, who makes homemade food weekly and brings it to the door of delivery customers, brought me baked cannelloni, Italian spinach, a garlic roll, and her sister’s chocolate chip pie. Yum! I am stuffed right now.<\/p>\n

If she does a delivery special next week, I will have the details up on this blog in plenty of time for you to order. It tends to be around Tuesday morning when she makes the announcement.<\/p>\n

BBQ teams got an email yesterday afternoon announcing that BBQ Fest is moving to September 30-October 3 for 2020. BBQ teams who can make the new dates have nothing to worry about for fees they have already paid. Teams who can’t make it those dates have three options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Roll their dues over to 2021 BBQ Fest, to be held May 12-15, 2021<\/li>\n
  2. Make the money already paid a donation to Memphis in May, a 501(c)(3) profit (this is the option Memphis in May really, really, really hopes you choose)<\/li>\n
  3. Request a refund between April 1 and May 13, 2020<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Music Fest has been rescheduled<\/a> for October 16-18. 42 of the 65 artists committed for May will still perform, and Memphis in May is working to fill out the rest of the schedule. If you have tickets and can’t make the new dates, you have essentially the three options laid out above for BBQ Fest teams. More info on the new event dates<\/a><\/p>\n

    Lanksy Bros. is doing a special $50 off orders of $150 or more when you use the promotional code SPRING2020. Their store is closed right now but you can order by phone at 901-529-9070 or you can order on their website<\/a>. Some restrictions apply to this promotion, which is valid through April 25.<\/p>\n
