We are celebrating this July 4th menu with a spanish flare!!! Our lovely black beans with roasted chili’s, onions, garlic & lime along with tamalito’s. Little tamales infused with local sauteed mushrooms and spinach. A touch of our “last” of the year green tomato & tomatillo salsa we canned up last season. Time to clean out the cupboards to make room for this seasons upcoming flavors. Our herbs come from Highground gardens and our own garden. Grilled veggies with some Wellspring Farms oyster mushrooms. Plowbreak collards with marinated carrots, cauliflower and mint. Spring kohlrabi from Remembrance Farms, cabbage, lime, apple & cilantro pickled salad. A lot of new and a hint of the old pantry items will welcome the heat of the summer this saturday. And pie? Yes, we have pie. This one is a sweet cherry pie. A departure from our tart cherry pie but just as tasty. Next week the sour cherries will be thoroughly picked and ready for pie making. This is also the last week for local strawberries. If you have to make a choice, choose strawberries. Purchase all you can from your favorite farm stands because next week we will be having to order them from out of town. We are offering a beautiful strawberry-basil cake with strawberry balsamic filling and iced with a sweet strawberry icing. Pink, upon pink, upon pink. Why not! See you in the wee hours of the morn….
