Happy Holidays

 First of all--specials this week will evolve as the week progresses. My starting soup will be one I have been developing "Caldo con queso y pollo". I'll start with russet potatoes, add mild Hatch chilis, fresh chicken breasts (shredded), Cheddar cheese, and a bit of cream. While it is a creamy soup, it is not a dense cheesy one. The chicken and potatoes will add enough substance to stick to your ribs. The Hatch chilis will add a glowing warmth without being "hot". I have ordered portabellas for the soup for week between Christmas and New Years.

I will have Antipasto Salad on Monday and Tuesday. Later we will have a spinach salad as Mary Badiny's spinach is finally ready.

I'll have some cranberry nut muffins and a lemon bread as the breakfast breads.

We will be closed on Friday the 24th as well as the 31st. It looks like those may be the last 3-day weekends we get for a while.

We have once again re-instituted the "cameback treat." This little tidbit of a treat is for those who make it in more than once in the week. It is a dessert only available as a freebie to those who qualify as a "thank you." If we somehow didn't notice, on our own, that your visit is a repeat that week-- feel free to remind us. The treat changes by my whim and is seldom the same from week to week. This week--white chocolate tamales.

We are finally getting settled in our new space and we LOVE it! We are getting the lines grooved in. Those who call in orders seldom have to wait more than a minute or two for their orders. We've discovered that parking is fairly easy on the back side of the block--between us and the Quill.

We now have gift certificates available. They make terrifc employee incentive or thank you gifts. You can pay via any method-- cash, check, debit or credit card.
