THIS WEEK'S FOOD

Good Morning,

A few notes before we get into it!

Bags! Bags! Bags! Bags! We love our bags and would love to have them back. If you have one or a mountain, please leave them out for your driver and we will collect them.
We have a few new goodies in the store this week. Garlic Salts from Hippie Pilgrim and gorgeous grass fed steaks from Cold Spring Ranch are ready for your grill. Don't forget a Salad of the Week to be the star of the sides.

Have a great day folks, enjoy the sunshine.

Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner Fam

Some Good News

I find myself craving good news. Lighthearted, feel good news to serve as a chaser for the bitter tastes in the diet of the content we consume. I'm like one of those drug sniffing dogs at the airport, plodding from bag to bag for a whiff of contraband, but instead of heroin, your girl just wants to read stories about bears cooling off in swimming pools.

During the pandemic, John Krasinski (that cutie patootie from The Office) started a show from his home called Some Good News. Man, was it a delight, and so desperately needed. In one episode, they surprise a 9 year old girl named Aubrey with the whole cast of Hamilton (her absolute fave) on a Zoom call and she goes completely bananas. I've watched it like 324 times.

There are so many things that bubble up from this community that feel like a bear in a swimming pool or Hamilton on Zoom to me. Little bits of sunshine in the way of beautiful food and the stories around it.

Suzy Sapir is one of those glimmering bits of sunshine, with a salty twist. Suzy is the owner of Hippy Pilgrim in Plympton, Massachusetts. She's in her 10th year making handmade farm to table, fresh garlic salts (which you can check out in the FD store today!). She's also on year 6 of being a Family Dinner customer!

Suzy does much of her work by hand: "We do it the hard way for a reason...it tastes better and I want to employ people, not massive machines. Nothing beats the quality when real people make these products versus large scale commercial manufacturing equipment."

Suzy has converted the lower level of her home into a custom kitchen space for her spice making which is both town approved and state approved for her small scale wholesale manufacturing.

She says: 'It is a blessing to do what I love in a home I love, surrounded by the people I love."

And its her next plan that is giving us the warm and fuzzies. On deck she will be launching the Hippy Pilgrim Helpline late summer. Sticking with her old -fashioned approach, Suzy will be manning a nationwide hotline for anyone to call in with food, cooking or kitchen related questions.

"I love helping people, talking on the phone and all things food so this is going to be fun for me! How cool to call a number and get a real person willing to help you right then and there in the kitchen. If I don't have the answer I have a team of phone-a-foodies waiting to chime in!"

We just love to see members of this incredible community doing great work and doing it with all the love.

Recipes

Crunchy Chicken Cutlet Sandwich [video] - We made these last night and they were obscenely tasty. Crunchy as heck and the Spicy Creamy Sauce is amazing. (We use it on just about anything that hits hot oil...)

Confit Tuna Sandwich - We do a variation of this where we leave the steak whole. It certainly makes for a messier bite but we kinda dig it.

Pierogi Soup - Not only is this dead simple but it's a great way to both stretch those pierogi out and it can work with a whole variety of veg that may be lurking in your fridge.
