Making the world a Rosier place.

Reminder that no orders will process this Mon., Nov. 25th so there will be no deliveries on Sat., Nov. 30th or Tues., Dec. 3rd. Orders will resume as normal thereafter.

Good Morning Friends,

We find ourselves still a bit restless and full of static, looking for somewhere to put all this energy. We've been clumsily seeking a way to do some good, to feel like change is still possible.

Inspiration came, as it so often does, through an old friend. My friend Tara, a small business owner (clean beauty studio Tada) and undeniable force of nature, does a yearly collection for the brave women of Rosie's place, the first women's only shelter in Boston. Rosie's place opened its doors 50 years ago. It strives to help 12,000 women a year with job search, meals, shelter, and both physical and mental support. Tara has been working to support them for years.

True to form, I invited myself along and crashed her party.

Tara and Family Dinner will be collecting hygiene products for the holidays for the many women of the shelter; body wash, deodorant, toothpaste, haircare, face wash, tampons and more. (Unopened, please!) And we would LOVE your help.

If you would like to participate, we kindly ask that you leave these types of products out with your bags on drop off days. We will ensure all your items are gifted to the shelter for the holiday season.

In addition to hygiene care, we are also collecting NEW hats, scarves, gloves and blankets.

If you prefer a monetary donation and Tara and I can shop for these items, please Venmo me @Erin-Baumgartner (you'll see the photo is me in my overalls, wildly unflattering) and put Rosie in the memo.

Thanks friends, don't forget to squint to find glimmers of hope. They're everywhere.

Much love,

Erin

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

Sausage and Fish One Pot - We've got just about all these ingredients and it's so dang quick and easy. Nice change of pace from the piles of food destined for you Thanksgiving dinner plate.

Pan-Fried Mackerel - Double fish recipes as we've got a rare treat with some mackerel filet. This is one of my favorite fish and this is a darn simple recipe. Mackerel is super forgiving and really takes to flavors. The shiso leaf wrap here sounds must about perfect.

Pierogi Soup - Rib-sticking like pierogi should be and soul warming as chicken soup should be. And it's a great way to stretch those insane Jaju lil' bundles of joy.
