Getting Foxy!
GETTING FOXY
To say we're excited about launching our collaboration with Chef Karen Akunowicz and Fox & the Knife and Fox Pasta is a gross understatement. I've been talking about it for weeks and the team is starting to look at me like I'm someone's dad droning on endlessly about the upcoming Over 50 Men's Softball tournament. They're like "Yes, Erin - we know. It's the greatest pasta ever and the focaccia is the stuff dreams are made of. You told us 700 times already."
But you guys! It IS the greatest pasta ever and the focaccia is out of the dang world! (Also, I think me and the guys totally have a shot at taking gold in this year's tourney!)
We have been working with Chef Karen (James Beard Award Winner, Top Chef Contestant and board certified Bad Ass) to bring you some amazing add-ons for next week.
The shares will contain campanelle pasta for the vegetarian shares and fresh ricotta for the double shares.
The add-on section will have two kinds of fresh pasta, sauces to pair with them, ricotta to eat with a spoon, and salted chocolate chip cookies to hide from your loved ones. And of course, the famed focaccia with taleggio cheese. As you pull that bread apart, fresh from the oven, you will wonder if your ears are hearing the beautiful song of angels and fat, harp-toting cherubs from the heavens. As you take your first bite, you will realize that sound is actually your current Self asking your past Self why you didn't order two of them.
So order by Monday and get ready to cozy up to some deliciousness.
Also! Any new subscribers using the code FOXY at check out will get 10% off their order AND 25% of the order cost will go back to Chef Karen's staff fund to support folks in these wonky times.
Have a great weekend,
The Family Dinner Fam

Fish this week is Monkfish caught by Charlie Dodge out of Chatham, MA on his boat Lady Irene. Monkfish has lobster-like meatiness with a similar sweet flavor. It does great in a stew, or in a tomato sauce (recipe below). It is also a very sustainable fish.

RECIPES
(from Shannon)
Monkfish in Tomato, Garlic Sauce: Oh my, this looks delicate and delectable.
Popcorn How-To - If you need something to occupy your child or procrastinate for a little bit, then you are welcome: pulling kernels off the cob is possibly one of my favorite parts of growing corn! (Earworms are definitely the worst.)
Blueberries and Chevre - Just think: berries, cheese, bread, mmmmm...
For the Stew Meat, there are so many different things to do with it. Are you feeling a bit Irish, British, French, Hungarian, Ukrainian, Japanese, Thai, or TexMex? All I know is use stock, wine, beer, vinegars, soy sauce, and/or all of the above, cook it for a while, and you really cannot go wrong.
Stuffed Cabbage - Don't know what to do with leftovers? Stick them in cabbage and bake. Or you can follow this recipe to make a whole new dish. But just saying--taco-stuffed cabbage is really good.
