Good morning! Isn't this just the best weather ever? Seriously, it's been nothing but sunshine and blue sky for days and it's hotter than a Georgia parking lot in August! But that's just fine with us because we know that Pepper's has everything that you need if you're headed down to Gyro beach for the day: sliced watermelon, icy cold beverages, cubed and blocked ice, suncreen, fresh salads, cold cuts, breads of every type, ice cream, frozen novelties, Slush Puppies...the list goes on and on.
When I was a kid I had the luxury of seeing my grandparents whenever I wanted. Their backyard bordered onto my backyard so it was simply a matter of climbing a few stairs over the fence and stepping into their yard. And two things that gram and gramps always had in the fridge during summer was gingerale and lemonade. Well, now you can enjoy both of those classic flavours combined in Canada Dry Summer Blend Lemonade Flavoured Gingerale. Cold can in hand, relax on the porch and take a moment to savour the flavours (and memories) of summer. And just like grandparents, it's only here for a limited time.

What do you know about canola oil? That it's one of the healthiest of all commonly used cooking oils? That it comes from the pressed canola seed? But betcha didn't know that canola is not rapeseed despite looking the same. See, in the 1960s, plant scientists used traditional plant breeding methods to get rid of rapeseed's undesirable qualities thereby creating canola! Why is this important right now? Because Pepper's is pleased to stock North Prairie Gold Extra Virgin Canola Oil, that's why. This is a non-GMO, cold-pressed oil made from Saskatchewan cultivated canola. It's minimally processed to create a premium oil for salads, sauteing and baking. And as luck would have it, the company will be conducting an in-store demo today (Tuesday, July 17th) between 11 am and 3 pm! You can sample this oil and ask any questions that you may have about it.
