Gabe's new meats store opens off M-72

Mike and Kathy Gabourie have opened a second location offering hand-cut and smoked meats.

The Gabouries, who have operated Gabe’s in Maple City for the past 24 years, are offering the same products — plus more — at a second location, just north of M-72.

Gabe’s Country-Smoked Meats opened late last month on the southwest corner of M-72 and Co. Rd. 667.

“I bought that property 22 years ago, and have been doing custom meat-cutting jobs there ever since,” Mike Gabourie said. “I’ll continue to do that there, but we’ll also be selling as many ‘local’ products as possible.”

Included are produce like potatoes, corn and cukes.

“You name it, we have it all,” he said.

In addition to Gabourie’s smoked meats, the store will also offer smoked fish, an extensive selection of cheeses, Moomers hand-dipped ice cream and soon — beer and wine.

Store hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.

Hand-dipped Sugar Cones « Juggling with Julia

Though I am well past school-age and work 20 hours a week, summer still feels like vacation to me.  The relentless sunshine and days spent on the pool deck certainly contribute to that feeling, but it’s more that there is a sense of “Ahhhhh….”  The kids are chill, the days are long and lazy, and we eat ice cream just about every day.

Yep, that’s right, every day.  Let me tell you, that $$ can add up quickly if you are hitting the local dairy bars all the time.  I am a huge Dairy Queen fan, but even I can’t justify more than a once-weekly visit, since it costs about $15 if all five of us get Blizzards.  And, just forget about trying to afford a cone for yourself and the family at a boutique ice cream shoppe in a prime tourist location – we dropped $18 for five teeny-tiny cones in Camden, Maine. I could have eaten all five and still had room for a salad. Those had better be some darn special cows.

This all explains the motivation behind this post.  It is SO MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE to buy ice cream at the grocery store and scoop it at home.  “But that’s not special!” your kids may whine.  “You don’t have those cool cones like they do at [insert favorite ice cream place here].” Well, I’m here to tell you it is SO EASY and FUN to dip your own cones, and you’ll save yourself some $$!

Shopping List:

Sugar cones ($2.50/12 pk)

LOVE this!! AND – if you wanted to be a little decadent, you could actually BUY ice cream at your local place. I think Lago’s (our place of choice) is reasonable when you buy a 1/2 gallon. A great compromise.

Of course, there is NOTHING wrong with the Hood Fenway Park collection – mmmmmm love those little chocolate mint cookies shaped like the Sox logo!
