Sisters of Providence annual Bake Sale Nov. 21

Stop, hey, what’s that smell
Everybody head for the big Bake Sale

OK, so that’s a lame attempt to rewrite the song “For What It’s Worth,” a 1967 hit for Buffalo Springfield.

Lameness aside, the Sisters of Providence big Bake Sale is coming Sunday, Nov. 21, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Providence Center at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. If you want the best selection, you had better get there early.

The sisters have been cooking and baking up a storm, and that smell is an aroma of wonderful ingredients working their magic as they blend together.

Ahem, for what it’s worth, here is the "menu" for the bake sale (and there may be more):

Sister Martha Ann Rifner and Sister John Mary Rifner: bread and cakes (rum, zucchini, banana and apple)

Sister Marilyn Therese Lipps: pies, fudge (pecan and pumpkin)

Sister Mary Pat Peacock: date-nut swirl cookies, date-nut bread, oatmeal-raisin-walnut cookies

Sister Kathryn Koressel: pies and cake

Sister Elizabeth Meyer: cookies

Sister Ann Casper: breads, cookies

Sister Lucy Lechner: pumpkin pies, fudge, grape jelly, blackberry jelly

Sister Rose Marita Riordan: Irish soda bread

For what it’s worth, you won’t be disappointed, especially if you come early to buy up the goodies, then stay for our excellent Sunday Brunch in O’Shaughnessy Dining Room.

And, for what it’s worth, we may even talk a sister or two into sharing a recipe, so keep watching!
