The waitress asked "How many pieces do you want your pie cut?" Yogi responded "Four. I don't think I could eat eight.”
This weekend is really the beginning of summer. The summer solstice is charming, but way too late to get started on some grilling and fruit pie eating. We have lots of summery fare, read on!
Memorial Weekend Hours
Saturday 8am-8pm
Sunday and Monday: 10am-6pm
Fun cheeses from sea to shining sea:
Great Hill Raw Milk Blue cheese from Marian, MA. The best thing to come out of Massa-chu since Matt Damon. The only non-homogenized blue cheese produced in the United States, chefs love it you will too! Pair this with dried cherries for a great appetizer.
Pepper Jack from Tillamook, in Oregon. Absolutely amazing on a burger. One of Paul’s favorite cheeses too.
Special Seafood
Sashimi grade fish this week: Hebi, or Hawaiian spearfish; beautiful tuna; and kajiki, which is a Pacific blue marlin.
Lobster grillers, which are ½ a lobster tail, brushed with pesto, ready for the grill.
Sea of Cortez prawns, big and fresh, and look for a recipe for a tequila honey marinade on our fresh sheet, and here.
Dessert
Cherry, and strawberry rhubarb pies. Made-from-scratch, all butter crust fruit pies for your weekend picnics. OR chocolate cream pies, with a homemade “Oreo” chocolate crust.
What’s more fun than banana splits?
When you make them with Sweet Action’s Stranahan’s Whiskey Brickle, that's what!
Top it off with maraschino cherries from Tillen Farms. A maraschino cherry with natural ingredients, too crazy!
On special!
Niman Ranch bone-in ribeye, $13.99/lb, and boneless, $15.99/lb. Marbled madness! Jimmy’s favorite cut.
New New New
Marczyk Bourbon BBQ salmon filets. Baked or grilled, it’s sensational.
Niman Ranch all beef hotdogs. Old fashioned look and taste. In the meat case.
Copper River Salmon, both king and sockeye. Buy it now, eat it now. The short season and rich red color make this fish a delicacy.
A customer shared his jam frustration with us last week: “Don’t you have any jams made by little old ladies?” Oddly, we knew just what he meant. And now we do: Fire Mountain jams from Hotchkiss, CO. We don’t know if she’s little or old, but she does make old fashioned jams and jellies like strawberry rhubarb jam and chokecherry jelly.
Local honey from Busy Bee farm in Larkspur. A tablespoon of local honey every day is supposed to help with allergies. With allergy season at its worst, come get all-natural creamed honey, honey comb, or jarred to fight it off.
Speaking of honey, we just added a hive to our yard! After the third swarm showed up in as many days we got the message: let us stay! We’ll put the pics on Facebook on Monday.
Le Village Italian Sodas. A refreshing, not-too-sweet soda. Blood orange, pink lemonade, and lemonade…add some vodka and mint, am I the only one thinking this way?
