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 one 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.

"Delightfully stinky" might either be the name of my new cheese lovers sub stack, the name of Joe's latest metal band or the subtitle on the autobiography of what it's like adopting two boys.

There are endless ways to approach fresh leeks. Yes, yes, potato leek soup is a dream, as is a leek frittata. I'll be tucking into Ottolenghi's Braised and Leek concoction that looks just like heaven. Crusty bread, the Charlie Brown Christmas album on repeat and you're in Sunday brunch business right before that polar plunge you're overdue on taking (you sadists).

Have a great weekend folks, we hope it's delicious.

Cheers,

Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner Team

I need to skip this week!

Please email us by Sunday evening if you'd like us to skip the order that is due to process on Monday! This would not be for the items listed above but for the following delivery. It really, REALLY helps us if you skip BEFORE orders process early Monday morning.

I'm traveling this week/month/year!

You can take us with you! Get in touch and we'll put together a custom package of goodies to keep you sated while you're enjoying the Cape or Bar Harbor. If you're expecting to be away for several weeks or months we can put your subscription on hold.

I'm allergic and/or hate this item!

Send us an email with your name and we'll make a note to your account to substitute those items when they're a part of your share.

What do I do with these bags/ice packs?

Please leave them outside for our drivers to collect and return to home base. We'll get them cleaned up and back into rotation.

We want YOU... to email us

If something is amiss in your order, or you need to make a special request, we want to know about it. Email us—we love hearing from you and we're happy to help however we can!

Have a wonderful weekend!
—The Fam Din Team

Recipes

The Best Potato-Leek Soup - Erin pooh-poohed this as common. Well. I dare her to whip this up and feel it necessary to repent. The power of leek compels her.

Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin with Maple Rosemary Brussels Sprouts - We've got these beautiful and super flavorful pork tenderloins in some of your shares this week. This is a great way to knock out a delicious dinner in short time.

Simple Oven-Baked Sea Bass - Another quick and easy weeknight dinner. I'd maybe skip the parsley or Italian seasoning and top with some chimichurri for a taste of summer during this freezing weather.
