Hi Friends,

Spent the last couple of days in Dallas, I was late getting back, and I’m up against the clock here to get this posted – so let me tell you very briefly about a couple of the things we’re going to try this week – or you can go check our dinner menu.

First, Boggy Creek is just covered up in peppers, so we’re going to bring back the stuffed pepper appetizer. The difference is, this time we’re going to try one that is more like a chili relleno. We’re using poblanos, stuffing them with pork, queso fresco, and maybe some additional peppers – then we’re going to top them with bread crumbs and roast them.

Next, we’ve gotten in wonderful small Texas hard pears (also from Boggy Creek) – they are earthy and flavorful. We’re going to make a salad with these, Boggy Creek arugula, amaranth greens, and lambsquarters (that’s a lettuce, not the thing that goes bahhhh and jumps over your bed when you are trying to get to sleep) and we will top it with Pure Luck’s Hopelessly Blue blue cheese – should be yum.

Finally – we’re going to bring back our bruschetta, only this time we’re going to do it as a sampler with several different toppings that we’re excited about. We’re probably going to do some or all of the following: Crostini di Fegatini di Pollo (that’s a traditional Italian style chicken liver spread – when you say it, you’re going to want to gesticulate with your hands and splay out your fingers – kind of spit the name out with some ummph), prosciutto & arugula, Texas figs with chevre and pecans, olive tapenade with feta, and whatever else comes to mind. Ask one of us and we’ll tell you which ones we’re making that night.

We loved the pork chop, so we’re going to keep it on the menu. We’re going to keep the tomato pasta as long as we can keep getting local tomatoes from the McCall Farm crew in Blanco. Sardines won’t be available again until September.

Please remember that for now, we’re still doing an abbreviated menu on Wednesdays.

TANGO DANCING ON TUESDAYS

That said, next Tuesday we will be open from 6-10pm. We are going to clear the center tables to make room for Glover Gill who will join us to play tango music for dancers on our piano beginning at 8pm. Should be fun, please join us. We’re going to do a menu that’s a little more low key for Tuesdays and try to get everything prepped for Wednesdays beginning next week.

Come join us for dinner!
