If you’re looking for something extra-special this Thanksgiving, take a look at the ridiculously mouth-watering Turkey Day offerings from 4505 Meats.
4505 offers two sizes of turduckens (the Grand Turducken serves 25-30 and the Junior serves about 10-12). They also have raw heritage turkeys ($7/lb) or smoked heritage turkeys that are rubbed in herbed duck fat ($10.50/lb, serves 13-15). Why not try some of their other tasty holiday treats, like the luscious smoky pork rillette, perfect for spreading on toast. They aim to please, so if you have special requests (like gluten-free) they can work with you! Order online through their website or Good Eggs, or come on down to MCM this Thursday to order the bird that’s right for you.

Kiddo Disco at MCM for Dia De Los Muertos

Posted on by Mission Community Market in Blog, Live Music | Leave a comment
This Thursday we’re celebrating Dia De Los Muertos at MCM with an action-packed schedule of family-friendly fun! At 4:30 pm the kids from Edison Academy will perform the Thriller Dance. Starting at 5:00 pm, DJ Matt Haze will play music in anticipation of this Saturday’s Kiddo Disco show at Bollyhood (details below). Also at 5:00 pm, we’ll learn how to make Pumpkins Florentine and a Fall Flower Salad thanks to a cooking demo fro Violeta and Raul of Urban Sprouts. At 5:30pm  Moving Beyond Productions, and the Marsh Youth Theater Dance program will present a Dia de los Muertos dance.
What is Kiddo Disco, you ask? Well, The Great Pumpkin, Jack Skellington, and Dora the Zombie Explorer will all be there, getting their ghoulish groove on! Kiddo Disco is a daytime family dance party, back from the undead to celebrate Halloween with you and your creepy little creatures! There will be face painting, stroller parking, a diaper changing area and quiet reading area, as well as healthy and delicious snacks and a bar for the ghastly grownups. Megan (g)hosts and DJ Matt spins a weird and wacky mix of celebratory tunes. The only missing ingredient in the magic potion is you!
