Cassoulet

So the weather maidens have blessed us with sun today. Thank you. Now that I have made cassoulet (cause let's face it who really believed it would be sunny today?) they are laughing at me. Well I am not one to laugh at the weather muses but you can have the last laugh now. A bowl of cassoulet and a hunk of crusty bread will set you back $8 this weekend. Warm, thick, and full of porky goodness, nothing says love on a cold wet day like cassoulet. And they say it is supposed to rain this weekend. Cheers.

Hot Dog, hot dog!

So it occured to me the other day that there is no place in town that you can get a good doggie, a hot doggie as it were. Why not? Although there are many that would argue that the hot dog is far from gourmet I beg to differ. We are bringing in some really great sauages, hand made no less, from Zenners in Portland. These are old family receipes, made with high quality ingredients to turn out a superior product. And they taste REALLY good. While we have had the English Bangers for a few months, we now have the Bratwurst and German style sauage too. We are selling these for you locals who need a good inexpenseive nosh. German or Bratwurst on a bun with sauteed onions or kraut will set you back a whopping $3.50, seriously. I know, I know. No need to thank me. We're just trying to do our part to help everyone get throught these troubled times. . . Cheers.

New Cheese

We have just received in a new selection of cheese! We now have back in stock Morbier, Provolone Picante, Fromage des Clarines, Petite Meunster, Pecorino Toscano Stagionatto, and even several Cypress Grove Chevre disks. Come in and see what's new in the cheese closet.

We also have just received our first shipment of the Andre Neveu Sancerrs "Silex". This is always a store favorite year after year. Very minerally sancerre grown in granite soil. New wines are starting to arrive in regularly so check in often to see what is new. Cheers.

Corned Beef Part Deux. . .

So our first expirement in Corned Beef has truned out to be very successful (read you guys like it). So our next batch is through the brine and ready to go. We have already sold through the first half of one brisket and have three halves to go. I hope to be putting up a new round (no pun intended) every ten days or so. Corned Beef sandwiches will now be the norm around here. Cold War Style (no russian) Rubens will also be available from time to time. We hope that you will continue to enjoy our new endeavour and as always thank you for your continued support. Cheers.

Corned Beef Sammys

Ok party people, the corned beef we sent into brine last week turned out pretty good. So good in fact, that we cooked it up and are makin' corned beef sammys (sandwiches to you lay folk), this weekend. Our second brisket comes out of brine on monday and gets cooked that day, so more sammys next week as well. If you are into it I might just make Rubens on Monday. We will be selling the corned beef by the pound as well for $12 lb. just on case you wanna take some home to ma'. Cheers.
