the Friday Feeding; VOL. 33

The slam of the screen door, the crunch of the ice scooped for endless iced coffees and the hum of insects at the front porch. It sounds like summer already. There were a lot of firsts at the store this week… Tasty new treats to beckon summer…no dyes, no corn syrup, no junk. Just goodContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 33”

Spring is really here and you all felt it this last week-end!  The store was hopping with meeting and greeting and eating…so fun for us to see people gather here. Just like we envisioned. We love local. We also love real.  As people who love to cook, we like ingredients that work the way theyContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 27”

Is it spring yet?!  At the Canterbury Country Store it is! We are thinking it, believing it and keeping a spring in our step!  The generator worked yesterday so no more melted freezer casualties for us and the second part for the power-outage-fried oven came in Wednesday night; testing is happening as you read thisContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 25”

the Friday Feeding; VOL. 20

March is maple month and we are feeling sticky just thinking about it. Old-Man-of-the-Mountain slurps of fresh syrup and bourbon, caramely oozy maple pie and the smell in the air of maple steam coming from Canterbury’s sugar houses. The sap has been running in vast amounts this week we hear so it should be aContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 20”

February is LOVE month but it doesn’t have to be a celebration of romantic human love [cue the violins].  Here at the Canterbury Country Store we are celebrating our love of food all month. That ‘other’ kind of love could (and sometimes does) get pretty disappointing but a steaming bowl of homemade goodness or anContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL: 16”

the Friday Feeding; VOL.15

It’s been a busy week at the store; January – the “slow month” – has still kept us hopping.  Happy to report that.  We had a swarm of hungry visitors on voting day followed by a snow day so we could cook a lot and refill the cases. All the while our newest staff members,Continue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL.15”

the Friday Feeding; VOL. 13

We made it through the holiday season then we had our first winter snow, then rain came to wash it all away so now we are all cleaning up…again.  Are your fall leaves and unpruned gardens staring you down like ours are?  Gee whiz.  Putting temptation and guilt-riding aside, it’s time for indoor cleaning, though,Continue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 13”

Happy New Year!  Maybe it has something to do with age or maybe it is because our little town holds all the values we hold dear, but we spent Christmas and New Years  r i g h t  here. We made our own light show by driving down Canterbury’s roads to see your lit landscapes, weContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 12”

the Friday Feeding; VOL. 11

Global warming aside, it looks pretty wintery around here. We are hoping for snow again soon but we will take what we can get and not get upset. Meanwhile, our tummies tell us it is winter and the deep caramelized flavors of long cooked stews satisfy our appetites and create the feeling of sitting in front ofContinue reading “the Friday Feeding; VOL. 11”
