Yes, we can cook! Being so
close to France and its self
appointed rich heritage of
culinary expertise, very
little credit is given to
England for the edible
delights that abound. But I
LOVE English food and I
think you will too. If you
have any feeling for me at
all, you'll come and find
out what it's all about this
week as Ariel prepares just
a few of 'my favorite
things'. Actually, we
should have got the sticky
toffee pudding in there
but..... we'll just have to
do it again some time!
Additionally, don't forget
the Naughty Boy tasting on
Friday - Jim and MJ are
coming all the way up from
Potter Valley. Let's make
it worth their while.
We're also selling tickets
for an incredible zoo
fund-raiser which takes
place on the 26th. More on
that later.
Don't stay away!

'Aint 'alf bad!
So get
yer plates daan to ar place
fer some bril English grub.
Seriously though, it was really hard to choose but I
think Ariel has come up with
some classics. I just don't
know how he's doing it all
for the money!
For just
$20 apiece, to include wine
(where's the beer??)
pairings, on Thursday June
11th - 6pm to 8pm, we've
got:
-
Ham and Pea soup: Not
so unusual huh? Great,
smooth, warming, and
good for your
cholesterol!
-
Steak and Kidney Pie
with Mashed Potato (fragrant,
tender morsals of steak
and kidney in a rich
gravy, topped with a
flakey, buttery, pastry
shell - yum)
-
Fish and Chips (Chips,
of course, are fries.
The fish is typically
cod or plaice, battered
and fried and
traditionally served in
newspaper - open or
closed: open - you're
eating it as you walk
out the door; closed -
you wait till you get
home and share with the
rest of the ravaging
hoards!)
-
Bakewell Tart:
(oh, this is one of my
two, no three, or is it
four....? Well anyway,
one of my favorite
desserts. Almond
flavored Sponge cake
layered over fruit jam
on a pastry base and
topped with white glace
icing and a cherry!)
You'd better make sure
Byron brings me a piece
home!

Naughty Boy - Winemaker
Reception
Friday
June 12th - 6pm
When Jim and MJ first walked into our shop about 3 years
ago, looking all
artistic (as wine makers do,
we've discovered) and told
us they had selected us to
sell their wine - we were
naturally a little taken
aback. However, we tried
it, loved it, and have been
proud to sell it ever
since.
Jim, has presented his wines once before in our Gallery
and at that time had only
the chardonnay and pinot
noir. Now he has a whole
series. You've just got to
try! Paired with tasty
appetizers from Roys
Kitchen.
Please try to arrive on time so that everyone can taste
the wines together.
Price: $15
Plus 10% discount on
all Naughty Boy Wines
ordered on the night.

Please specify Naughty
Boy Winemaker Reception as
the subject and tell us how
many people in your party.
Thanks! |
