summer is coming

We are gearing up for summer and the grill season. Sharon has been testing all kinds of marinades and sides for the summer. I said I loved last summers salsa made with mangoes and peaches. I really want everyone to try them so we came up with a new solution. In July we will offer a grill choice option. mango salsa with pork chops or chicken or fish. and in August we will offer peach salsa with the same three options. That way there is something for everyone.

Sharon and Fran are also working on a quinoa cake with an eggplant ragu. I am enclosing this link to wiki quinoa if you have not had much experience with this interesting grain. This will be a great vegetarian option because the quinoa is so high in protein. The cakes came out crunchy and brown: I like them with the fresh lemon salsa with lemongrass. A neighbor who stopped by thought they were good all by themselves. Sharon also wants to make sure that folks know they do not have to grill everything, it can be made on the stove top.

June's menu is developing. Check it out and let us know if your favorite does not get included. There is still time to add more.
