Week Two :o) -- Revised

I had a great time delivering Saturday. I have ideas of how to improve, but I think for the first time of making massive quantities it turned out pretty good. Hopefully, everyone liked the pot pie and soup! I just got home from the store buying more beans. I bought 400 oz. of beans for Monday. The checker thought that I was crazy!

I estimated perfectly today and there were no leftovers whatsoever, but if you check the blog on delivery day and there are overages, I will put any up for sale on a first-come-first-serve basis.

So here's week two (ordering info on the right side bar):

Wednesday, June 1st -- as a recap, French Onion Soup and Chicken, Pasta, Spinach Salad (description below) orders have already been taken. Thank you to everyone who ordered! I will take additional orders on these two items until Monday at 5:00 pm.

Saturday, June 4
Coconut Macadamia Cake -- This is a very rich, moist, single layer cake. It has coconut and macadamia nuts laced through the cake and topped with a cream cheese frosting with a crown of toasted coconut and a few more macadamias for good measure. The cake is made in a torte pan for a beautiful presentation. $15 per cake

Monday, June 6
Pick-up orders only. I was speaking to someone today about this little venture and she mentioned that it would be helpful to have more selections Monday - Thursday when she was working. After 25 years of working, I agree! So, I've added an entree.

Chicken Alfredo -- I think this is one of the most comforting foods ever! There will be a 8 x 6 and 13 x 9 size available. I will be using penne pasta (more room for the luscious, creamy sauce :o) and moist, oven roasted chicken smothered in a creamy Alfredo sauce. The Alfredo sauce has two types of cheese with just the right amount of fresh garlic. I'm confident that you will be pleased! 8" x 6" $12, 9" x 13" $20

I will be baking homemade bread. There's nothing quite as comforting as fresh bread directly from the oven. Come and pick it up while it's hot. $2.25 per loaf (1 lb). With the new addition of the chicken Alfredo, you can have your choice of Italian seasoned bread sticks to accompany your chicken Alfredo. 75 cents each (they are big).

Lemon Cupcakes (see below) available Monday for pick-up only.


Wednesday, June 8
Pulled Pork -- Slow roasted pork, shredded in a sweet, but tangy sauce. This is my mother-in-law's recipe and definitely a family favorite. This will be sold in quart containers. I've never made it by "servings", but my logic is that since a quart is 32 oz and a normal serving of meat is 4 oz, that a quart should serve 6-8 people. $13 per quart

Homemade Buns -- the perfect compliment to the pulled pork. This takes the shredded pork to another level. Topped with sesame seeds. $4 per doz. Limited quantities.

Lemon Cupcakes -- These beauties have a following. Many of my friends think that they are the best thing I make. Very moist cupcake with just the right amount of tartness. The icing on this cupcake is incredible! It's made with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Many of my friends request these little darlings when given a choice of a treat. I can't bring myself to charge bakery prices for them -- who can afford $2.50 a piece? They will gladly go home with you for $1.00 each or $10.00 per dozen. Available Wednesday or Monday (pick up).
