Things I did today. . .

So I have been quite busy today at the store, getting ready for that last dash to the holiday finish line. People every year come in looking for that last minute gift or stocking stuffer. Well we have a few that we think are pretty fantastic.

Our world famous chocolate truffles. These are hand made with 70% cocoa and a whole lotta love. Hand rolled and dusted in cocoa powder. These are great stocking stuffers, just keep 'em away from the fire. . .

Marcona Almond Brittle. Every one makes peanut brittle, but we make Marcona Almond brittle. You know those big Spanish almonds that are usually fried and salted? We used blanched unsalted Marconas for a sweet with a little salt and spice kind of taste.

Biscotti. Every year we make a small batch of biscotti (or cantucci as we call it). This year we have added local hazelnuts to out cantucci. We think they are a nice little nosh to have around the house during the holidays and we think you will too.

We have also just received in Brasserie Dupont Avec les bons veux (or Best Wishes), which is their holiday celebration beer. A super tasty winter time saison beer. Think of as a party for your mouth. . .

We have also just made a batch of our own cassoulet. Our cassoulet is very traditional, no fancy confit or foie gras, just pork, beans and a whole lotta love. This is real comfort food and good for you too. We'll have this available for lunch until it runs out. Come in and try some.

This is only some of what we are offering for the Holidays we have much more that we are not telling you about, just because we are busying cooking and getting ready for Christmas. Come in and check out what's "in store". We hope to see you this weekend and if we don't have a very Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year. Cheers from all of us here at Salumiere Cesario.
