Team Shout Out!

One of our own, Maggie Hook, is running the NYC Marathon in November to raise money for Rising New York Road Runners - a free running-based youth program designed to make physical activity enjoyable and accessible for kids nationwide.

Maggie has been with us since High School (used to deliver in her Masconomet High School basketball warm ups) and her family rocks a Pescatarian Half share every week. Super fans!

Maggie is alllllmost at her goal of $3,000. If this wonderful person has dropped delicious food at your doorstep and you want to show some love, you can do that on her page.

Ah, the idea of running 26.2 miles without your knee joints immediately seceding from the Union of your skeleton - what a dream.

A word from her:

Hi, I’m Maggie Hook! I live in Topsfield and have been delivering for Family Dinner for three years. I am currently a junior at Boston University’s College of Engineering, studying mechanical engineering and computer science. I love to run in my free time and have participated in many local road races. Right now, though, I am training for the New York City Marathon. This will be my second marathon (fun fact: the first one was in Australia while I was studying abroad)! I am fundraising for the NYRR Team for Kids, you can learn more about this charity on my runner’s page!

And new purveyor Spotlight!

We have a beautiful fresh pasta for you this week from Ground Up Grain, made from stone milled flour in Hadley MA.

Andrea and Christian Stanley started Ground Up after spending years harvesting malt barley in Western, MA. (When they first started, The grain, once harvested, was laid out to dry on tarps in their 2 car garage because they had little money, no location, and no infrastructure for drying or storing grain. Gotta LOVE that glamorous start up life).

A bit from them:

"At our mill we love ancient grains. Our pasta includes a blend of durum and organic barley flour to provide the best texture and flavor.

The goal of Ground Up is to look back in another ten years and see more acres of grain, more thriving farms, more fresh and nutritious flour - all important signs of a more sustainable and resilient food system."

We hope you love this fresh pasta and would love to know what you make of it!

That's all for today, enjoy the sunshine and have a wonderful weekend,

Recipes

Summer Peach Pork Chops - Pork and fruit... pretty timeless and a great savory application for peaches.

Crispy Salmon Succotash - I implore you to try some of this corn before it's even cooked. Late summer corn, grown locally and recently harvested is magically sweet. And when it's in season, we're always doing succotash and seafood. Would be great with the pollock or bluefish, too. Heck. It's great with the chops even.

Easy Gan Bian Si Ji Dou (Sichuan Dry-Fried Green Beans) - I'll sat it again: charred veg is the best. Wax beans turn super meaty and irresistible. Push 'em hard and maximize that caramel-y, umami-y goodness. Serve with white rice as a main.
