Joe’s Coffee and Deli

Modern coffee culture can conjure images of buttoned-down, bespectacled baristas impassively taking orders for expensive espresso drinks inside of trendy cafés packed with digital nomads who seldom interact. In Cameron Park, Joe’s Coffee and Deli brings the quality of an upscale, urban coffee shop to a cozy, comfortable setting where customers are greeted with smiles instead of indifference.

2531 Merrychase Drive, Cameron Park (530) 350-7788

Joe’s was founded in 2017 by Joe and Missy Thompson, who took over the quaint Merrychase Drive location after Missy’s retirement as a 15-year courthouse employee. The unassuming little café is both a hub for locals and a regular stop for folks traveling to Tahoe looking for a bite to eat or a cup of rich, aromatic coffee that puts corporate coffee to shame.

“We work directly with our roaster to create our own blends,” Missy said. “Our cold brew, espresso and regular

brewed coffee … they’re each their own blend.”

Joe’s coffee creations include hot, ices and frozen drinks with specialties like Joe’s Extreme Toffee Coffee, the Tuxedo and Mexican Mocha.

But it’s not just an expertly brewed cup of coffee that brings a steady flow of customers to Joe’s every day. “Our customers are our friends as soon as they walk through that door,” Missy’s daughter and co-manager Allie Harding said. “People who don’t even know each other will end up sitting here, talking to each other all day.”

And while they’re catching up with old friends and making new ones, customers are paring their coffee with delicious food like the Mega Burrito and Joe’s Bagel — both filled to the brim with good stuff. Joe’s also offers specialty sandwiches, salads, pastries and a variety of non-coffee beverages from fruit smoothies to Italian sodas and hot cider. In a hurry? Grab your order to go.

The celebration featured games, activities and delicious treats, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie. Students from across the district participated, engaging in friendly competition while building meaningful connections with their peers.

By playing side-byside, participants develop friendships, celebrate diversity, and strengthen bonds that reach beyond the field. This year’s Halloween event highlighted how the program creates a welcoming environment where every student is valued.

“It’s inspiring to see the incredible sense of unity and joy that the Unified Sports Program brings to our schools and community,” said EDUHSD Superintendent Mike Kuhlman. “The Halloween event was a wonderful reminder of the power of sports to foster inclusion and teamwork. We are incredibly proud of our Unified teams in basketball, soccer, and track and field, and honored to be recognized as a Unified Champion District.”

FAMILY FEATURES

For many, the hallmark of the holiday season is time with cherished loved ones, and there are few better places to spend those special moments together than gathered around a beautiful seasonal spread. By adding a little creative flair to the menu, and a signature ingredient like grapes, you can elevate any dish – from snacks and main courses to sides, desserts and even cocktails.

Compatible with an array of other foods, grapes can add flavor, texture and beauty to

dishes and take hosting to the next level thanks to their delicate sweetness and juicy texture. Available into January and perfect for the holiday season, fresh Grapes from California can add a crisp, juicy burst of flavor to salads like this Lemony Grapes and Greens Salad. Or take advantage of the versatility of grapes by roasting them to intensify the flavor of an appetizer such as Balsamic-Roasted Grape and Burrata Crostini or muddling into a sweet and savory Grape Basil Martini, which highlights their delicate sweetness in a festive manner.

Using Grapes as Holiday Decor

Clusters of colorful grapes are beautiful, tasty additions to many holiday tables. However, their use goes well beyond serving as an appealing addition to holiday recipes. Consider these ways you can utilize grapes when setting out your seasonal spread:

n Vase Filler: Use grapes instead of glass gems or foam to hold flowers in place in a vase. Grapes keep floral arrangements completely natural and extend color throughout the vase.

n Trim the Turkey: After placing the turkey on a large platter, decorate with a variety of fresh herbs and small bunches of grapes for friends and family to admire before it’s gobbled up.

n Set the Table: Grapes add color, texture and flavor to dining tables and work well with a wide variety of themes and color palettes.

n Floral Arrangements: Red, green and black grapes pair perfectly with a wide variety of flowers and greenery to add color, texture and depth to floral arrangements.

n Grape and Mint Ice Cubes: Grapes freeze well and make for a perfect replacement for ice cubes in cocktails. Simply freeze sliced grapes and mint in ice cube trays with a bit of water then add to favorite cocktails.

n Chocolate-Dipped Grapes: Dipped in white, milk or dark chocolate varieties, grapes can be paired with desserts like cheesecake or served on their own.

n Cake Decor: Red, green and black grapes are ideal decor for frosted cakes, serving as edible decorations that add color and elegance to each tier.

FINALLY, Medicare & Most

Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems.

This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood ow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood ow may cause the nerves to degenerate.

As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the ow of vital nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.

Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!

The treatment to increase blood ow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow ow.

The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation.

“My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the rst few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient

Handy Hacks to Take the Stress Out of Holiday Hosting

Hosting is a big responsibility, especially during the holidays when the pressure is on to create a magical and memorable experience. Planning a menu and decorating for the occasion is just the start. Hosting also means ensuring all dishes are cooked to perfection and kept warm until serving time, guests’ dietary needs are considered and table conversation topics are ready. Then, of course, there’s the post-dinner cleanup. This holiday season, consider these tips to help tackle your hosting duties with grace and create an event you can enjoy, too.

Request RSVPs

Planning a party is even more complicated when you don’t know how many guests you’ll be entertaining. If you create a guest list and ask invitees to let you know their plans, you’ll have a better idea whether you should double your favorite dishes. You’ll also know who has special dietary needs and be able to plan a seating chart that puts everyone at ease. Be sure to include a date that gives guests a specific RSVP deadline and plenty of time for you to adjust your plans before the big day.

Meal Prep as Much as Possible

Get as much of the food preparation out of the way ahead of time as you can. Some dishes can be prepared and even cooked ahead of time so you’re just reheating, but you can also save a lot of time by organizing ingredients for the dishes that must be prepared the day of the event. A good rule of thumb: If it doesn’t have to wait until the day of the party, do it before. That frees up your time so you can handle any unexpected hiccups that arise without piling on more stress.

Simplify the Cleanup Situation

Rely on tried-and-true products that do the heavy lifting for you when it’s time to clean up after the meal. An option like Finish Ultimate Dishwashing Detergent cleans dishes in tough conditions, even without pre-rinsing, so you can focus on what matters during this time of year: spending more time with your loved ones. It removes tough stains like grease and cheese, as well as common holiday dishes

like apple pie and mac and cheese. An added bonus: Since you don’t need to pre-rinse, you’ll save up to 20 gallons of water per dishwasher load.

Create Designated Spaces

Guests are likely to arrive with items in hand that need a place to go, like coats, shoes, handbags and gifts. Avoid clutter by determining ahead of time where you want to put these items. If you have a coat closet with space, that’s a good solution, but a nearby bedroom may also be an option. Especially if you’re hosting a potluck meal, be sure to plan ahead for where each course should go, with appetizer bars, dessert tables and a countertop with protective pads for warm foods.

Send Guests Off with a Parting Gift

A memorable event can be made even more so when guests have a token to take with them. Send everyone home on a happy note with a simple gift like a prewrapped holiday treat. Be sure to tuck these away someplace near the door so they’re a pleasant surprise you can access easily when guests begin to make their exits.

POST-PARTY CLEANING TIPS

1. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, especially from your partner or children.

2. Prep your table the night before. Get sparkling dishes and glassware by using a product such as Finish Jet-Dry Rinse Aid, which assists in drying and helping your dishes shine when used in the rinse cycle.

3. Start by collecting trash and clutter. Throw trash away and create piles of items that need returned to their proper places. Remember that taking a few extra minutes to organize things like seasonal decor as you go can help make next year’s event easier.

4. Complete each job before moving to the next. Some prefer to tackle a room at a time while others prefer to finish a specific chore, like sweeping the floors throughout the house, before moving on.

5. Be realistic about what must be done before you sleep. Some tasks really do need immediate attention, like collecting and emptying glasses that could be spilled and safely storing leftover food. The rest can likely wait until after you get some rest.

Jalapeno Cornbread Mac and Cheese

Jalapeno Cornbread:

1/2 cup butter, melted, plus additional for greasing pan

1 cup medium grind cornmeal

1 cup flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

2 eggs

1 cup corn

1/2 cup chopped jalapeno (about 2 large jalapenos)

Mac and Cheese:

1/2 pound dry macaroni

2 tablespoons butter, plus additional for greasing pan

3 tablespoons flour

2 cups milk

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

12 ounces shredded cheese

1/4 teaspoon salt pepper, to taste

To make jalapeno cornbread:

Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter 8-by-8-inch baking pan.

In mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, 1/2 cup melted butter, corn and jalapeno.

Add half the liquid ingredients to dry mixture, stirring just until

blended. Add rest of liquid and stir until just blended. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 30-35 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Set aside to cool.

To make mac and cheese: Bring large pot of water to boil. Add macaroni and cook according to package directions. Drain under cold water and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter 9-by-9-inch square baking dish.

In heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add flour and whisk over low heat 3-5 minutes, making sure not to brown.

Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, whisking often until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Add macaroni and stir until noodles are coated with cheese mixture. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Use back of spoon or spatula to even out mixture in pan.

Bake 25 minutes until mixture is bubbly.

Remove from oven, turn oven to broil and place rack on second from top. Break up about 1/3-1/2 of the cornbread into small pieces; place even layer of broken-up cornbread over top of mac and cheese. Put mac and cheese under broiler until lightly browned. Serve immediately with remaining cornbread or make ahead and warm before serving.

Tip: For spicier cornbread, keep some jalapeno seeds intact.
