THIS WEEK'S FOOD

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.

Feeding our neighbors!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has donated. Our big donation day will be on Tuesday so there are still ways to chip in:

If you want to chip in you can either donate to them directly via that link or donate via the Family Dinner page.
If you are a Family Dinner customer (hi! we love you!) you can also donate any of your upcoming shares in your account section.
We will be running a dry goods food drive. If you want to leave items out, over the next two weeks drivers will collect them and we will deliver directly to smaller food banks in need. Helpful items include sugar, cooking oil, canned tuna, peanut butter and other staples. THANK YOU!

Where do salmon cash their checks?

The riverbank! (I apologize for who I am as a person).

Joe got salmon from Red's Best this week and boy oh boy are we excited. I'm going to make a dijon coated salmon. The mustard blanket brings a punchy flavor to the fish and keeps it really moist as you cook it. Let us know what you do with your cuts - share it on the socials @sharefamilydinner

Random Pontification that is not tied to food:

Walks in the woods have become a near daily necessity, a chance to turn down the noise, untether from the news cycle and silence the clickety clack of the keyboard(s). On a walk this week I saw a woman swooshing through the multicolor carpet of leaves, quietly joyful. She paused and bent to pick one up, one leaf plucked from the immeasurable crowd. She turned it in her hand, held it to the sun for a moment, then tucked it into her pocket and continued on.

I had so many questions; why that leaf? Why just the one? What happens when it dries and crumbles in your pocket like a Nature's Valley granola bar?

None of those questions could be asked, so I just copied her. Looked down to find something beautiful, held it in my paw for a moment and just enjoyed the silent beauty of that small thing.

This weekend, I hope something brings you a moment of quiet joy. Be it an oatmeal raisin cookies (or two!) from A&J King, the wag of your dog's tail or one perfect leaf, I hope something shimmers and makes you smile.

Have a great weekend folks,

The Randomly Mushy Team at Family Dinner

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

Parsnip Apple Purée - It's apple and parsnip season! For me, the first thing that's getting whipped up (so to speak) is this. I dare say this gives mashed potatoes a run for their money (no it doesn't).

Lemon Chicken Kale Salad - Tasty. And massage the heck out of the kale. Tenderize with abandon.

Stuffed Acorn Squash - Classic, easy, satisfying. Sweet enough that kids may even like it. But probably not.
