Cozy on Up
Good morning, friends!
Lovely day, right?
It's a very strange Saturday Morning for the Family Dinner Fam. There have only been 3 Saturdays in 4 years that we haven't been lovingly packing and delivering your shares while trading jokes and listening to bad 90's Hip Hop. ( Do I know all the words to "Shoop" by Salt N' Pepa?? Does a one-legged duck swim in circles? Yes. Of course I do.)
It's perplexing to not work on a Saturday but we moved today's deliveries to Sunday to keep the team safe and off the roads. Thank you all for your understanding and your kind messages, they mean a lot.
Instead of the traditional Saturday overalls, I'm currently dressed like a Sweatpant Onion. Layer after thick cottony layer to keep the chill out and the comfort on max. It's a great day for eating and the elastic waist(s) help in this venture.
Many of us will spend some part of today cooking to ward off the stir crazy and prevent us from going all Jack Nicholson at the Overlook Hotel. (Author's Note: If, for some wild reason that eludes me, you have not seen The Shining - today is not the day.)
Today I'm invading the freezer and I intend to emerge victorious. Beef and Pork meatballs sound amazing in an open-faced sandwich with tons of cheese. I'm also going to riff on a Fish Soup or Fish Chowder with the odds and ends of White Fish I have stockpiled and frozen. And, for no reason other than I love them like crazy, Popovers with lots of butter when they come out of the oven.
We hope today brings something delicious as a reward for shoveling like mad and putting up with your family.
Much Love,
Erin, Tim and the Family Dinner Fam
