the Friday Feeding; VOL. 76

It’s getting to be outdoor weather so we are Inside Out at the store… enjoying the bucolic spring view that surrounds the store and bringing goods for your outdoor living needs inside the store.

This time of year

… I get a little bit dreamy.  The earth is warming up, the bird song is back and those shots of bright color as nature’s botanicals unfold take me to a heady place.  My hands want to be in dirt or paint and less in the kitchen.  But we all must eat.

Its hard to concentrate on all those indoor activities [like my storekeeper duties at my computer] so why fight it and steal a little time from dinner prep.

This is where the Dinner Board Meal comes in handy.  It is spectacular eating without the fuss.  A little of this a little of that artfully displayed so as to whet the appetite and satisfy your hunger.  Some might call this a Charcuterie platter but technically Charcuterie is just meats.  And we like lots of other foods besides that

So play in the dirt and throw together something wonderful.

All from the store and our garden. .Brocomoli, Costal Maine popcorn, Robie Farms Smoked Tome cheese, our sweet Fat Carrots, Maine Buckwheat and almond crackers, Marcona almonds, Aurora Turkish figs, Johnny Jump Ups and Violets from the garden. They are edible! Scattered with fresh snipped chives from the garden.

Need a board to make your meal on? We have hand crafted boards by Angus and Christian.

Each Thursday afternoon a new dish will be put out for your taking.  In this fluctuating time of year we are cooking by what is the most fresh on that day or by what the weather may dictate to satisfy our appetites. So stop in to see what we came up with…

Reminder: Its Friday night pizza each week.
