Greeting Text

Following twenty years of farmer's markets selling locally grown vegetables, native fruits, and local honey Linda created Marianne's Kitchen in Shoreview, MN, an oasis of good food, conversation and laughter in a suburban food desert. Operating from 2011-2017 the cafe offered home made soups, fresh bread baked daily, great sandwiches and treats and a complete line of gluten-free soups, pickled products, jams, jellies, salsas and locally sourced soups, honey and grains.

The Marianne's Kitchen of sharing, conversation, and learning continues with ongoing commentary, food reviews and food finds as we grow, cook and eat our food and sample local restaurants.

"Don't say anything"

John's mother used to say "if you can't say anything good, don't say anything at all."  He thought that was pretty unique and thoughtful. Obviously many mothers have said this.  The only thing left to debate is whether they said it to their smart-mouthed sons, smart-mouthed daughters, or both.  

 Friday evening marked the end of a long week in the cafe and there was still Saturday which starts immediately after Friday's work is done.  We debated food options and agreed that it needed to be close, simple and fast.  Pizza was the conclusion, not a meal that's high on our list.
  • Our pizza took 30 minutes to arrive.  Other tables received theirs in 10-15 minutes.
  • Other pizzas arrived too hot to eat.  Ours was cold.
  • The service blew.
Following John's mother's advice we're just not going to say anything (else).
