Shirley’s Gourmet Popcorn’s flavor of the month is “Birthday Cake Popcorn,” according to Peter Suter.
“Last June we rolled out this new creation for Shirley’s birthday party and some customers liked it so much they’ve been asking for it all year. We’ve named it our June flavor of the month,” he said.
The flavor starts with smooth, sweet vanilla popcorn coated with a rich white chocolate and topped off with birthday sprinkles.
Shirley’s is located at 117 S. Main St., Bluffton, and is an Icon advertiser.

The staff at Mustard Seed Café, North Main Street, Bluffton, took on a kitchen challenge Saturday — to create a lunch feature from mystery ingredients.
They received a basket of produce at 7 a.m. and had four hours to work their creative magic.
The basket contained rhubarb and asparagus from Weihrauch Farm near Jenera. Owner Steve Weihrauch is a sustainable farmer and his farm has recently been certified organic.
The cooking team created an imaginative and colorful dish - pasta filled with asiago, chicken and asparagus topped with rhubarb glaze.
In honor of the May Older Americans’ Month theme of “Unleash the Power of Age,” Bessie Bassitt, a retiree of Mennonite Home Communities of Ohio, Bluffton, volunteered at Maple Crest last week and demonstrated the art of arranging live floral bouquets.
Bassitt’s mother loved flowers and instilled in her daughter the knack for growing them. Perhaps, too, Bassitt’s 35 years as a beautician, (before her 11 years at Mennonite Memorial Home in the activities department), gave her the eye for symmetry and style necessary for flower arranging.
