I wrote an email yesterday – nothing too exciting – just a quick note to let you know that we will be open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings of this forth of July weekend – but likely closed on Saturday the 4th.  However, as this email seems never to have left my computer, I tried again today.  For those of you that may not have gotten it – here you have it – plus corrections from my fabulous editorial staff per the comment section below.

First – the produce this week looks great – I’ve been shopping like crazy.

Oh shoot – that was Ben that did the shopping – oh well – I looked great shopping, don’t you think?

Anyway – we’re still getting lots of beautiful tomatoes along with the beginning of the eggplant.  And in deference to the many requests we’ve had for vegetarian items, we will be serving….  Oops.  Wrong shot again – I just can’t seem to get the hang of this photo thing.  What I meant to say was that in deference to the many requests we’ve had for vegetarian items, (and the begining of the eggplant) we will be serving a ratatouille with Ben’s delicious fresh corn polenta.

As for the photo above – let’s see.  I meant to tell you that we are working on a burger.  We really love burgers, and we are going to try our hand at making a really good one.  We’re making a brioche bun and Ben plans to make homemade pickles and chips.

Finally, we our current plan is to be closed on Saturday evening as we assume most folks will be making other plans.  That said, we have had a couple of emails asking about Saturday reservations, so if you’d like to come eat on Saturday before you head out to see fireworks, let us know asap.  If we get enough reservations, we’ll, we’ll go ahead and stay open on Saturday night.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Murph

PS – many of you have written to comment about Ben’s hair – specifically my contention that he had “Flock of Seagulls” hair.  Some of you have even gone so far as to challenge my veracity.  So, in the spirit of full disclosure (hey, if it works for Mark Sanford, why not me) voila:
