Early Bird Gets the Pastry

Quick note:

We are participating in a fundraiser with our friend (and long time Family Dinner customer!) Tara to support the incredible work of Everytown to end gun violence in the US.

Tara, owner of Tada and Blender in Reading has been working to fund this important cause and many others because she a delight of a human being.

From her site:

"We are always looking for ways we can give back to our community, and support causes important to us."

I don't have to drill you on the stats here on gun violence, those are written and rewritten daily on our eyeballs in this country. And while each subsequent shooting leaves us feeling more and more helpless. Donating as a community to do what we can builds us back up, just a little bit. There are lots of great prizes here, Family Dinner shares included. If you are able please consider donating or sharing this with your communities. 100% of all donations goes directly to Everytown. Thanks friends.

On to the Moms!

[Joe stepping in here real quick for an obvious reason. Erin's mullet. Sally, Erin's mom, said that Erin loved the mullet. I replied, for all of us, that it brings me quite a lot of joy as well. Moving on...]

For some folks Mothers Day is a beautiful celebration of family, of connection. For others it's something to hold your breath and just move through, anticipating its passing. To all the moms out there; kid moms, dog and cat moms, moms who are trying again and again - cheers to you, please have some cake. To all the folks who are missing moms, or tending to moms or never knew mom at all, we see you and we wish we could hug you. Please have even more cake.

To my own mom (and Family Dinner customer who hates kale!), thank you. Thanks for supporting this wild vision, my stubborn nature and occasionally questionable decisions. None of this would be possible without you.

Have a wonderful weekend folks,
Erin, Joe and the Family Dinner Fam

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

Sea Bass With Tomato and Bacon Sauce Recipe - Ignore that this is from Tesco. Pretty please. This is just down right delicious which helps.

Reverse-Seared Steak - These ribeyes that a handful of you are getting in shares today are some of the most delicious I've ever had. Beefy and tender, what grass-fed steaks lack in fat, they make up for in flavor. And this is the way to cook. Simple. Easy. Insane. (And we sell them in store at all times!

Seriously The Best Tofu Scramble - Seriously. Toss in some roasted tomatoes and sliced green garlic and you've got yourself the perfect start to your day. And for those of you getting the Pastry of the Week, jam this into a plain croissant and yeah... you're good.

Tips and Tricks for storing your food and getting the most from your shares can be found here.
