The Spice of Life

The Spice of Life

Hello Friends,
 
Just a quick shout out to last week's shares. We sent you dried smoked paprika from Kitchen Garden Farm. We got a couple emails of "what the heck do I do with these gems?"  We heard the what the heck, and we are heeding it from two voices:

T.Hanks!

T.Hanks!

First of all a HUGE thank you to all of your who filled out the Family Dinner survey - it was incredibly helpful and heart warming to hear from all of you. While we love the love you shared the most important thing for us to hear was around your frustrations - we are getting to work on those right away (website improvement, more staple items, better OnFleet communication!)
 
There were a few points of friction that came up a lot that, lucky for us, are already solved. Here's a quick recap:

Night, Night.

Night, Night.

 

Happy Day After the Day. 
 
We all made it. Channukah and Christmas are blissfully behind us.  Hopefully it was full of some good food, a drink or three and some giggles here and there.
 
We're going to keep this one short and say thank you. Thank you for all of your support, your kind words and your part in this community.  We are so grateful for all of you.  We hope you get some rest and a moment to fill the tank back up after a whirlwind of a month.

Best gift ever!

Best gift ever!

I am not going to sit here an pretend that we can offer you the actual best gift ever. Family Dinner doesn't sell coffee in bed, a day with no meetings and a new administration rooted in justice, democracy and equity. Sadly. 
 
What we CAN offer is a few ways to give Family Dinner to those you love and want to fill up with good foods.

A serious leek under the sink!

A serious leek under the sink!

If you had ever needed it in writing, please consider this your formal invitation to send us, your goofy Family Dinner Fam, your favorite dad joke - or three. We shall cherish them all, and we always love hearing from you - in matters great or small.
 
There are leeks in the shares this week, hopefully less serious and foreboding as the ones above. These lanky loves hail from Red Fire Farm and are part of the Allium family. Allium being Latin for garlic contains all the delightfully stinky members of that family; onions, garlic, chives and leeks.

Three Things

Three Things

Tim and I adopted two kids this summer. Ages 12 and 9. They are whirling dervishes of energy, Legos and crumbs and a general stickiness. We are trying to provide soft landing through the ennui of routine; spelling homework at night, chores, soccer practice, pancakes on Saturdays.

Behind the curtain...

Behind the curtain...

We asked Brian who is a Fam Din OG, avid hiker, piano tuner and customer service guru, to pen this week's newsletter. He's also a Red Sox fanatic and a man of many plaids. He is part of the gloriously weird and wonderful fabric that is this team of people. People we love with our whole hearts and we want to share them and their views of the Fam Din community with you.

Don't be a turkey!

Don't be a turkey!

Good morning friends,
 
Just a couple quick things on this chilly Friday morning (it's the atmosphere that's icy, not your cold dead hearts).
 
Thanksgiving! The deadline to order your birds is Sunday night! You can find them and all the other goodies here in the Thanksgiving store. Don't forget to double up on stuffing from Forge Baking Co.

Halloween is here!

Halloween is here!

Good morning friends,
 
Halloween is here which means that this newsletter should be full of pumpkin puns and the salutation should have been something like "hey gals and ghouls"... but I just can't bring myself to do it. 
 
I'll admit there is tremendous joy in watching the kids go positively apeshit while eating Cheerios in their Spiderman and Pikachu costumes. And I know that tonight millions of American kids will come wander the streets aimlessly, hopped up on corn syrup and howling "SIXSEVEN" at the moon like rabid wolves. That too brings a joy that should be felt and held.

Get Ready for Turkey!

Get Ready for Turkey!

Did you hear about the spontaneous turkey?
 
It decided to wing it.
 
I'll apologize in advance for this week's newsletter. I think that being a new mom to a 12 and 9 year old has turned the frontal and parietal lobes in my brain into a primordial soup where only dad jokes, obscure musical references and thoughts of melted cheese remain.

Pass the Bowl

Pass the Bowl

Hey friends,
 
Quick note before we dive headlong into the dumpster fire that will be this email.
 
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and Joe and I have been hard at work crafting this year's offerings for you. There will be turkeys, gravy, stuffing, pies, pie crust, rolls and all the veggies by that pound that you need to meticulously peel and sautée in an unreasonable amount of butter (which we will also have, along with local heavy cream and half and half if you're still dying for more fat/flavor)
