Why don't scallops share?

We have (many of) THE MEATS!

We got a gorgeous bounty delivered from Gabe at Cold Spring Ranch this past week, including the pork butts making their way into your shares, as well as a beautiful collection of steaks. Waiting to grace your cast irons, we have Ribeyes, Sirloins and Porterhouses, all grass fed in New Portland, ME. We've huddled all these masterpieces into a section of the store we're calling THE MEATS.

Trying to decide between your meats?

My fav is the ribeye. Beefy as heck, pretty tender and quite rich. And make sure you call dibs on the bone.

Sirloin is gonna get you a bit more tenderness but sacrifices a smidge of beef flavor.

Porterhouse has two muscles, divided by a bone (dibs!). The smaller muscle is the tenderloin, appropriately named as it's super tender but also the least beefy of steaks. On the other side is a strip steak, essentially a more marbled sirloin.

The cuts are very limited so stock up now!

This week in your shares, most of you are getting scallops from Red's Best (MA folks) and Harbor Fish (ME/NH folks). These ocean butter bombs can't wait to bathe in a pool of melted butter and be served over some pasta, risotto of polenta, recipes below. This is coming as an 8oz portion, share them or don't. We won't tell.

Have a wonderful weekend folks!

Erin and the Family Dinner team

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!
—The Fam Din Team

Recipes (ME + NH)

Scallops with Leeks - When it comes to things like scallops, each ingredient needs to just take a back seat and play a supporting role. Just like in this recipe.

Pork Chops With Apples and Onions - A slightly elevated version of the classic we all grew up on (or at least heard about incessantly thanks to that insidious Brady Bunch scene.)

Cajun Chicken With Collard Greens - Healthy and tasty. And black eyed peas are the luckiest of beans this time of year.

Pollock with Spinach - Straight from the source.

Roasted Celery Root - I think celery root (aka celeriac) and sunchokes are the two most misunderstood of ingredients. Which is too bad because they're SO DANG GOOD. Here's a great intro if you're not already on board.
