Only the best for you!

Only the best...

To say that the state of the world is frenzied, chaotic and scary is a such an understatement it borders on neglience. While mainlining the news I find myself day dreaming of driving to Canada, taking up knitting and eating poutine until it's 2028.

A shared collective anxiety rumbles thorugh us all, a powerful vibration, knocking us off center over and over. And we can't control it, we're like socks in the dryer, tumbling around.

And the last damn thing I want to do is cook. It feels foolish and trivial to do while we tumble about. But still, we gotta eat. So this weekend I'm pulling ground beef and pork out of the freezer and indulging in making Italian Wedding Soup, a favorite. Making dozens of tiny meatballs could either be frustrating or entirely therapeutic, fingers crossed for the latter.

While souping it up, can I suggest using the chopped butternut squash in this week's shares for a curry? That rich stew is like a big hug from someone you never get to see enough of.

While we are actually taking care of ourselves, here's an idea - take a moment and eat breakfast for once. What a concept! Take a moment, or three, to just sit and nourish that tired body. This week we have Sophia's yogurt in whole and double shares. Sophia started Sophia's Greek Pantry in 2021 and has been churning out the best yogurt around ever since. Pro tip: add it to your subscripton and we will bring you this heavenly stuff week after week!

Whatever you cook, whatever ends up on your table, we hope it brings a moment of joy.

With Love,

Erin 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!
