Maria Donato, our friend from the YWCA told us about the amazing Country Christmas Store in Pelham, just outside Fonthill. It&#8217;s a gorgeous drive and we got to the incredible refurbished barn that becomes the Pop Up Christmas store in just 20 minutes (it takes that long to find a parking spot at the Pen Centre at Christmas). This is Sidney Beamers&#8217; brainchild and it is in it&#8217;s 6th year! Local vendors sell handmade goods Thursday through Sunday and all week during the final week before Christmas. During the short time I was there I saw folks setting up with handmade soaps, and gorgeous wooden canes. There was also lots of shiny stuff that I had to walk away from since I can&#8217;t buy anything until the Grand Opening on Wed Nov 8th at 5 pm. Check it out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrychristmasstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.thecountrychristmasstore.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sidney has several freezers which we will fill with our special kind of Comfort Food served in portions for 2 or 4. You can always call us and we can deliver these goodies to you if you like, and we have the time (call Danielle 905-246-2605), and if you want a few orders I can probably get them to you fresh instead of freezing them, just give me a couple of days notice! Pricing varies and I&#8217;ll try to get it uploaded soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/comfortkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/comfortkitchen-xmas-store-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1115\" srcset=\"http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/comfortkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/comfortkitchen-xmas-store-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/comfortkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/comfortkitchen-xmas-store-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/comfortkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/comfortkitchen-xmas-store-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/comfortkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/comfortkitchen-xmas-store-750x500.jpg 750w, http:\/\/syner-g.no-ip.biz\/comfortkitchen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/comfortkitchen-xmas-store.jpg 1125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Chicken Cacciatore on Pasta<\/strong> <em>Chicken Thighs slow braised in Chunky Tomato, Onion, Sweet Pepper, Celery and Mushroom&nbsp; served on Fusilli Pasta to hold the luscious sauce<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Old Fashioned Meatloaf<\/strong> <em>Ground Beef with a little onion and garlic topped with a touch of tomato sauce to glaze the top.
