I'll be switching out some of my quilts over the next week. With National Audio Theater Festival attendees visiting with us daily for breakfast, I figured I may as well use this opportunity to expose my work to a new non-regional audience.The room next door will house some of my more scantilly clad quilts. Naked Quilting— yikes!
Food-wise I am thrilled to see red peppers, tomatoes and various herbs in greater abundance. I've even harvested a few from the pots out front. Now if we can just get some berries to make it to the market.
I have made and now have available some fresh Strawberry Chipotle Jam. The sweetness of strawberries with the warm finish of the chipotle. Great and unexpected on toast or biscuit, but wonderful on pork or chicken. It'll be featured this week on the Friday night menu. $4 for 4oz. $7 for 8oz.
Jon has been working on some new material and is looking forward to playing for you Friday night. If you like your dinner entertainment a bit laid back, Jon is the guy for you. His mellow rich voice and sweet guitar are so easy on the ears. He plays his own material as well as covers the Great American Songbook. We have a busy lineup for the next several weeks. This may be the last chance Jon gets to play before late summer. Don't miss him. Call for reservations 505-0302.
A change of plans: Last week we mentioned that we'd planned on being open Saturday during the Old Time Music Festival. Since the last time I attended the festival, the venue has been moved to down near or in the Civic Center. We had anticipated the festival being around the Square as in previous years and wanted to introduce our food to a new audience. The long walk in the hot sun is not likely to lure diners this far. So we are NOT going to be open that day. Sorry 'bout that!
A note regarding the quantities of specials~ I usually get to make about 8 of any specially prepared menu item. Bruce usually has 10-11 servings of tamales available. That is based pretty much entirely by how much a recipe can make. When I make quiches I make 2 and each serves 6. If you see a special or "flavor journey" that you really want, it is a good idea to call early in the day...or even the day before, to reserve an order for you. We really do want you to get to eat what you want and are happy to set one aside.
We are excited to have been able to provide the food for several staff meetings lately. It is our easiest area for expansion and we hope it continues. If you have a lunch-time staff meeting coming up, call us and discuss your options. We'll make it really easy for you—and you get a healthy, real-food meal.
