October 14th - 16th Dinner

Tonight we'll be pan searing Rockfish with Shitakes and laying it on some sweet & sour apples; not too sweet, not too sour. This will be escorted by roasted potatoes. (you can plan on a Rockfish Po'Boy hitting the special board for lunch soon)

Our Lamb Shanks will be subjected to a vigorous rubbing of Middle Eastern Spices and a slow (endless really) roast, served up with a yummy potato cake and veg. (the latkes will show up later in the season with Brisket)

Chicken Thighs are pan seared with our Balsamic Shallots and wed to Israeli Couscous mixed with veggie confetti. Sigh...

The Roasted Pork contender is wearing a Roasted Artichoke Compote and coming out strong with a polenta cake.

Vance is treating us to another Mac n' Cheese with Fusilli. It's a nice marriage of blue, white cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. And we'll have the mini mac available for those not ready for the larger commitment.

As always, we'll have some fun sides and salads and our Sarada Salad will be on the menu as well as the Beet and Black Bean Burger.

In loosely related news (like a second cousin): Starting next week we will be having Trivia Happy Hour every Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30. Plenty of Prizes, Cheap Drinks and Brain Candy. Fun for the whole family!
