Dinner this Weekend
Ben’s cooking up some fabulous dinner this weekend and I hope you can join us.  Pot au feu is back on the menu – we’re making a cassoulet that we can serve with or without roast pork shoulder.  The soup with winter greens (chard, mustard, collars, and… shoot, I forgot the other, but there’s more).  He’s making a baked pasta with Romanesco and purple cauliflower’s and broccoli.  And – he’s also been talking up the idea of putting a panade (baked vegetables with big chunks of ciabatta and lots of stock) back on the dinner menu – we’ll see.

South Congress
In other news, we’ve done it now.  We’re finally down to one store, and while we’re sorry to say good bye to some of the customers and employees who’ve been involved over the years – man are we excited to be a manageable size operation that is a bit more amenable to change and improvement.  Special thanks to Gracie Ross, our South Congress manager, who gave us years of service w/o complaint, putting in yeoman’s effort and always there for anything that needed doing.  Gracie has decided to take a well deserved stab at retirement and I want to be the first to congratulate her on work well done.  Thanks Gracie – and don’t be a stranger.

Sunset Valley Market
We are working with the folks at Sunset Valley Farmers Market to try and make some of our products available down there.  We attended last weekend, and we’re going again this weekend – so look for us down there if you’re in the neighborhood.
