To the Friends of Amaranthus : When creating deli

To the Friends of Amaranthus :
When creating delicious meals for people is in your very being, a pandemic can’t keep you away!

Sam and Mike just can’t keep out of the kitchen.
They have been making tasty soups and salsas but what good is a performance without an audience?

If you are interested in purchasing either a soup, salsa or even both, contact me via email at alejandro@amaranthus.ca or text or call at (604) 727-8176.

We are also very pleased to announce that you will be able to order bottles of wine with the purchase of a take-away or delivery meal.

Items will be available today between 2 and 4 pm for pick up at El Santo (safe distances maintained) or I can also arrange local delivery.

1 litre of Soup: Vegetarian and Vegan options : $12
1/4 litre of Habanero Salsa: $6
All bottles of wine 50% off
Partial proceeds will go to the food bank.
Cheers,
Alejandro

To Our Friends of Amaranthus & @elsantonewwest :

To Our Friends of Amaranthus & @elsantonewwest :
There is an old Mexican saying that goes: Al mal tiempo, buena cara. Literally meaning, “To bad times, a good face.” When we are in the middle of the “mal tiempo” it is sometimes easy to say “buena cara” but harder to do. How do we stay encouraged and optimistic in uncertainty?

I do my best to focus on a few tricks that help. This is not to say that there are not moments of temporary despair, but when I refocus on these thoughts it helps immensely.

We are all in this together. I am not the only one feeling the effects of this trial. Also, there have been trying times through history. We are not the first generation to experience hardship. Societies have survived in the past and we will survive this.

Search for the good that happens. New Westminster has shown a tremendous community spirit. There is a Facebook group called New West Helping Hands. People finding ways to create community with the interest in helping others. People are offering to go to the store for others who can’t get out.
There are many more examples. Look for them.

Learn the lessons put before us. Not that we ever forgot how valuable our health care professionals are, our grocery store clerks, our minimum wage earners who are essential to keeping the wheels turning. Now we see with clarity the importance they have in our world.
A lesson not to be forgotten!

Be open to the opportunities that present themselves. We have time to reflect, spend more time with the kids or family pet, or partner. Read, write, contemplate. Get the things done that our busy life always allowed us to put on the back burner.

Finally, it is important to remember that this too shall pass. I think the important thing to do when it does pass is not forget the lessons we have learned during this trial. Dream about how, when this is over, we can do better than before.
For us at el Santo and Amaranthus, it means we are spending some time developing ideas to make your experience with us even better!
Hang in there. We care about you.

To the friends of Amaranthus and El Santo :
The comments shared to our announcement of temporarily having to close Amaranthus and el Santo have been so heartwarming and reassuring.
Thank you all who have taken the time to send us your kind words.

The few stories of some person’s greed is far outweighed by the generosity of people finding ways to help others. There are always lessons to be learned.

At Amaranthus and el Santo we have been preparing for the shut down. We have pickled, preserved and made soups. We also have some food stuffs that will not last a closure.

We are consolidating all this food at our el Santo site. We would like to invite anyone from the community to come by between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm today and tomorrow to help yourself to anything you would be able to use.
Feel free to leave a donation for the food bank, or if you cannot do that, feel free to take the food you need.

Some people have been asking about purchasing gift cards. During this same time it will be possible to purchase a gift card for either el Santo or Amaranthus at our el Santo site.

Thank you again for your encouragement and support. It feels wonderful to be a part of this community.
Alejandro
