Greetings!
Well, I don’t know about anybody else but *I’m* ready for warm weather! On the bright side we get to ‘spring forward’ next weekend, and then it’s just a few more days till spring! (well, calendar spring at least!)
A few new things on this week’s menu, starting w/ a ‘Lemongrass White Miso Soup w/ Green Tea Noodles‘ (partly inspired by a recipe my Aunt Shirley sent awhile ago, and by an exploratory food-finding trip to Chinatown where I stumbled on the green tea noodles), a new tarte (combining two old faves), a new twist on the ever popular pork loin roasts, and speaking of twists, a new variation on ‘rollatinis’ as well! ‘Lavender Lemon Whole Grain Tea Biscuits‘ make their annual spring-time appearance, along with ‘Honey Vanilla Berry Medley‘ to build your own berry shortcakes! (Try using zero fat Greek yogurt instead of whipped cream!)
Same routine as usual, folks, with orders in by TUESDAY @ 6:00 and pick-ups starting THURSDAY @ 4:00, and (as usual!) if Thursday isn’t good for you just let me know and we’ll make alternate arrangements. And if you’re one of the many ‘seekrit’ peeps who are traveling right now and you see something you *love* on the list we’re more than happy to pop it in the freezer to await your return!
Have a wonderful week, and we’ll see you on Thursday!
Joann
p.s. The year in Vegetarian Mains is (finally!) up at http://wp.me/PCiNj-hL with a *ton* of pics…so if you wanna see what you missed, or simply want to reminisce over past meals, check it out! And if you see anything you’d like to see soon IRL just let me know!
