It’s Novembrrrr
I’m writing this on the first day of November. You remember, the day it was 22 degrees, windy with snow flurries? Wasn’t it just last week we were mowing our lawns??
I guess I was lulled into thinking Fall would stick around a while longer, but this morning was a real wake up. I was out just before sunrise this morning since we had an early delivery coming in. All I had to do was shift the delivery vans in the driveway so that the tractor trailer had room to turn around. Should only take a minute. But the second that cold air hit me I realized that just a t-shirt was totally inadequate. After putting on a sweatshirt AND a jacket, I headed out again.
The windshields were completely frosted over, so I did what any person who just doesn’t have time for all this cold weather stuff would do, I rolled down the window and stuck my head out. I was just parking the second van when the big truck rolled in. Sheesh, 7:15am on the first day of the month and I am already behind.
Alright, I need to pull it together and get organized. November is a tricky month for us. It seems Thanksgiving always falls on Thursday, which happens to be our delivery day. So instead of interrupting your holiday meal, we just close for that week. But this is where it gets confusing. Follow with me.
The online store, www.DeliveredFresh.Store will close on the 14th through the 21st. We WILL be delivering on the 16th & 17th for items you ordered before the 14th. The store will open on the 21st through the 28th and we will deliver those items on the 30th and 1st.
Make sense? If you have any questions, just shoot me an email at david@deliveredfresh.store.
Highlights this week
Let’s talk turkey.
We have 24 available right now between 12-19lbs. Next week we will have another 20 come in, but that is about it. If you want a pasture raised turkey for your table, get that order in now!
Maybe it was the cold start to the month, but I’m really craving comfort foods this week.
Like this Cube Steaks in Mushroom Gravy. You have to serve this with a pile of garlic mashed potatoes. With buttered carrots. Am I right?
Norway Ridge has some black angus cube steaks on sale (which makes this affordable meal even more affordable!).
Our Danville farms have lots of potatoes to choose from. And Under the Moonlite and Engelbert’s Farm are our garlic experts.
This was my dinner on Wednesday. Aunt Jude’s chicken soup from Singing Tree Natural Foods.
When I’m chilled from being out in the cold, nothing hits the spot like a hot bowl of soup. Singing Tree makes awesome soups and her ingredients come from our own farmers.
We have three soup makers now: Kitchen Repose has a Kale & White Bean soup that is amazing. And WindStone Landing Farms has a Rustic Tortellini soup that is incredible.
Want a sandwich to go with that soup? Look at this beauty. Let’s build it. Start with a smoked ham steak from Bluebird Ridge. Use some melted Bacon Cheddar cheese from Backroad Creamery and I’d use an everything bagel from New View. If you are aspiring to be healthy, you can even tuck in some kale from Growen Food.
Do you know what happens when I wake up and it is 22 degrees out?
I reach for my alpaca socks.
If you have never worn alpaca socks on a cold day, you don’t really know what comfort feels like. Wicks moisture to keep your feet toasty warm and dry. Absolutely have to have these for our winters up here.
Under the Moonlite Alpaca and Garlic Ranch has plenty to go around.
P.S. They make an amazing present too!!
