Bird is the Word

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.

Speaking of musica obscura*, all this planning for Thanksgiving has me singing the 1963 horror show of a song, "Surfin Bird" by the Trashmen in my head on repeat. It is, if you can believe it, worse than the Kars4Kids theme music and whatever ditty they are playing on 92.5 about not putting mercury in the trash.

That said, WE HAVE YOUR BIRDS!!

Joe has been hard at work putting together a Thanksgiving store that will have you covered. Turkeys from Shepherd Family Farm, breads, pies and all the local organic veggies you can shake a stick at.

And while you are pursuing if you don't see what you are looking for, just give us a holler and we will see what we can do to make your dreams come true. Spices, perhaps some stuffing are a solid maybe/probable yes. Locally sourced Swedish Fish may be harder to come by.

Have a wonderful weekend folks. We hope it's delicious!

Cheers,

Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner Fam

* not to be confused with Atlas Obscura which is pure delight of a book.

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!

Recipes

Beef Larb - Forgive me... I love larb. I think I might have posted about this many times the past. But it's just that good and quick and easy. What else on earth can you say that about?

Potatoes Au Gratin - It's objectively true that potatoes are the best vegetable. And they look stunning when dressed up au gratin.

Radicchio Salad with Parmesan & Olives - Radicchio can be a bit divisive. It's bitterness and chew bum some folks out. This classic dish play perfectly in concert with all that flavor and chew. And the bread rounds this out and gives it "main course" status.
