All about Friday nights



Jon at play

 It's Friday!!!! Around here that brings about a sense of adventure.Things depart the norm and move into the realm of play. We become even more of a gathering place with a chance to linger a bit longer, visit with friends and eat good food. This will be our 4th Friday night and there has been a bit of a learning curve when it has come to getting your meals to you. We've modified our delivery system and HOPE we have found a system that works. Here are the changes we've made:

• We have assigned table numbers. When we take your order you will be asked where you are sitting. The tables numbers are on each table in a small mount. This should eliminate some confusion.
• We are putting silverware directly on the table to start
• We are preparing primarily dishes that can simply be served without additional preparation at the time. This should speed things up! 
• We are offering 2 hearty meal choices plus lots of tapas (appetizer type)
• I am trying to make sure I always have vegetarian options
• I am trying to make sure I always have lower calorie options
• I hope to always offer a few really nice desserts
• As local fruits and veggies become available throughout the season, we'll incorporate them

Tonight Jon will be the featured performer. But in weeks to come we hope to bring in various regional talent. Last week we had Renee and Tom on sax & guitar. Next week, being the first Friday of the month, we'll initiate Open Mike Night. Hopefully, we'll be able to draw local talent who are ready to strut their stuff and keep us all entertained. If you know someone whose music is within the realm of styles that work in our small cafe environment, have them contact Jon to sign up.

Tonight's menu—

• Beef  & Sausage Lasagna-- Slow cooked from scratch
• Chicken Pot Pie—again, made from scratch with a pastry top
• Pulled Pork Sandwiches—on a wheat bun with in-house BBQ sauce
• Goat cheese with crackers
• Crudités and pita points with Hummus (made inhouse)
• Creamy Garlic & Spinach/ Swiss Chard Soup (vegetarian version) with cornbread
• Smoked Catfish Dip—with tortilla chips
• Fruit cups
• Espresso Cheesecake—I make it from scratch
• Blueberry Mango Fruit Tarts with a walnut crust—again, from scratch

  My menu will change weekly but feature 2 substantial options each week.

We hope you'll stick around and relax. We even have a couple of gameboards out for you to enjoy. As always, we value your feedback, apprecite you making the effort to come out and join us and most of all—we're enjoying getting to make lots of new friends. Thanks for being a part of our world—it's a creative one!
