This Week's Food

A family symphony

A family symphony

We got to spend a few days this week with cherished family members, tucked into an idyllic pocket of Maine, snuggling the ocean on a craggy shore.
There wasn't anything of note on the agenda and we contented ourselves playing with babies, chasing old dogs and doing the delicate, intentional work of weaving familial bonds just a bit tighter.
We don't all get to see each other en masse frequently so there was an effervescence in the air as we arrived, even Frank the Dog knew something special was afoot.

A different kind of pancake

A different kind of pancake

I just love summer. It's that time of year where all the veggies are beautiful and abundant and you can make little Muppet noises while cooking with them.
What's that? You don't take the goofy looking scapes and the fennel fronds and talk to them in the Swedish Chef voice until such a point that your friends and loved ones start to fret about your mental health and well-being?
 
Oh. Well then.
 
This week we have a beautiful and perfectly Muppet-able veggie on offer. The scallions from Kitchen Garden Farm are tall, spikey and packed with a delicious oniony punch.

New grains on the block!

This week we have a new product for our vegetarian shares, bulgar from the folks at Koy Pantry.
 
The little AI birds whispered this little nugget about bulgar in my ears just now:Bulgur is a whole grain made from cracked wheat berries. It's an ancient grain that was popular in the Mediterranean region and is mentioned in the Old Testament. Bulgur is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it can be eaten plain like rice or couscous, or used in many dishes.

Calling all bags!

Calling all bags!

Good morning friends!

A few quick things!
 
1- Please leave your bags out for the drivers to take!  We clean and sanitize them weekly and reuse them - helps us to be a low waste company. And good golly are they expensive! So whether you have 2 or 274, please leave them out (ice packs too!) and we will lovingly take 'em back.
 
2- Flower season is back! Get your flowers of the week to brighten up your day and bring a smile to that beautiful face of yours.

Father's Day Store is Live!

Father's Day Store is Live!

Hi Friends-
 
It's that time of year. For a brief period, the windows are open. The warm days that hint at the balminess to come are tempered as the sun crawls west each evening. We've once again become experts at layering.
 
It's weather that just begs for celebrations. Of the changing season, sure, but also of all the dads out there, of all the folks graduating and moving on to the next chapter of their lives. And heck, there's never a bad time to celebrate yourself. (It's true... you're lovely.)

Going, going, gone!

Going, going, gone!

You may have heard us talk about the incredible work of Community Cooks - a Somerville based organization that is dedicated to feeding vulnerable populations and our neighbors in need. (It seems we can't shut up about it!)
 
They do this work from the belief that good, healthy food is a right and that it helps a person thrive in our communities. As a non-profit they have to fundraise tirelessly

A treat for my sweet

A treat for my sweet

We spent the past week in France (see pornographic food image above as proof) doing all the things France calls you to do; a lazy oscillation between eating and drinking - drinking and eating. Beyond that, there was little on the agenda except long bouts of aimless walking and hours spent watching the world float by with a glass of Sancerre in hand

Feeding our neighbors

Feeding our neighbors

See what I did there folks?
 
Got all mushy right out of the gates. "Feeding our neighbors and filling our hearts?"
 
Normally you have to skip at least a paragraph to get to that nugget of sentimental gold.
 
One of our favorite non-profits, Community Cooks, is having their largest fundraiser of the year, Gone with the Gala and we would love your help.
 
For over 30 years Community Cooks has been providing homemade meals to our neighbors in need. Since they started they have provided hundreds of thousands of meals to vulnerable populations - it's incredible work.

Momma's Day

Momma's Day

Good Morning!
 
We have a Mother's Day pop up live in the store for you. Fresh pasta and sauces from Fox & the Knife, cheese boxes from Local Goods Gathered, cookies from Botanical Bakes (more on those magicians below) and more. 
 
While we can't get all the moms out there what they actually want for Mother's Day (social justice, a glass of wine and some time alone, for once!) we can make sure that everyone is well fed.

Take a Left...

Take a Left...

Hello friends,

It's going to be an amazing packing day tomorrow. The ladies at Jaju Pierogi will be lending a hand packing coolers, dancing to Cowboy Carter and likely creating some absurd content for social.

Jaju was started by two sisters Vanessa and Casey using their Jaju's (Dziadziu's - that's grandpa for anyone not lucky enough to be Polish) recipes. We have been buying and gobbling up their pierogi since the beginning of Family Dinner and we are so excited to see them absolutely crushing it and going nationwide with their goods!
