THIS WEEK'S FOOD

Hello friends!

A few things:

In case you've been napping since yesterday (jealous!) and missed the news - tomorrow is going to be a doozie.

Roads are likely to be unpleasant and we may face delays on deliveries from our purveyors and deliveries to you. We will be working as quickly, efficiently and safely as we can but there may be timing issues.

If you happen to see a mobile snowman doing a delivery up your drive, give them a wave and say hey! We always love seeing you.

Maine Restaurant Week

The 15th annual Maine Restaurant Week, of which we are proud spronsors, is happening now!

It's wild that 15 years ago, our bud (and wonderful customer) Gillian Britt and her husband, Jim, had a hunch that something like this would be a great way for restaurants from around the state to get some more butts in seats at the slooooowest time of year. In fact, check out this quote in the Portland Press Herald:

“You’re going to take one of the slowest weeks of the year, in March, and turn it into one of the busiest weeks of the year? Sure you are,” said Turin, who owns three David’s restaurants, in Portland and South Portland. “I was a hardcore skeptic at first. But that’s what happened. One of the worst times of the year for restaurants became one of the best, like summer.”

Pretty magical stuff.

And, as if you needed even more of an excuse to check out some of the insanely fertile Maine food scene, Maine Restaurant Week's ticketed events help raise crucial dollars for Preble Street, which provides "barrier-free services to empower people experiencing problems with homelessness, housing, hunger, and poverty and to advocate for solutions to these problems."

So check out this calendar of events and let's go!

I need to skip this week!

Please email us by Sunday evening if you'd like us to skip for you! (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 (MA)

Haddock Provencal - I love a simple white wine preparation for fish but this provencal preparation is an easy second. Serve with a simple green salad and crusty bread.

Pork Chops with Apples and Parsnips - Get some onions in there for good measure, go on will ya? Easy, delicious.

Pork and Cabbage Stew - This calls for ground pork and if you have any on hand go for it! If not, the pork chops can be sauteed and sliced thinly. Good for days.

Beef and Cabbage Wraps - You can follow this and use the cabbage as a bowl, or slice your cabbage and add it into a lettuce wrap for an easier fold.

Recipes (ME + NH)

Vietnamese Fish With Cilantro - What's not to love about this recipe? Super straight forward, super quick and super tasty.

Easy Mongolian Beef - Another great weeknight meal. Tons of flavor. Definitely addicting. Definitely eating cold out of the fridge before bed.

Vegan Mapo Tofu - Not exactly a weeknight meal but totally worthy of your time. There are few more literally sensational things to eat. Textures, huge but balanced flavors, tingly-ness, tongue numbing spiciness... Drool.

Jalapeño Sausage Mac & Cheese - These Colvard & Co. sausages are a serious craving of mine. And so is mac and cheese. Mushing those two together? Heck yeah.

Spaghetti Squash That Fancies Itself Baked Ziti - Anything that wants to play dress up as ziti is cool by me.
