We make dinners to go Monday through Friday each week. Give us a call by late morning or early afternoon and we'll fix up a dinner (or 2 or 4 or 12), will make you a salad, and will toss in our selected bread of the day.
Then all you need to do is come by between 4:30 and 6:00 to pick up your just-made dinner in its own microwaveable container. Easy enough? We hope so!

We make a special casserole each week.
Please call in your order by the end of the day on Tuesday and we’ll fix a full or half pan for you and will have it ready to pick up on Wednesday, between 4:30 and 6:00 pm.
The larger pan serves 9 or so, whereas the smaller portion is perfect for 4.
Here’s what we’re doing this week:
Wednesday, March 17
Good ‘old fashioned Tuna Noodle Casserole
(a bit spiffier than the one your Mom used to make)
Full: 38.50
Half: 19.25

Have a Glass of Wine |
Did you know you could enjoy a glass of wine with your lunch now? Yup! Beer too.
Maurie, our resident oenophile, has been finding and bringing in special wines and beers for your dining pleasure.
We're finding that many of you are already enjoying this addition, but there just might be some of you for whom this is new information.
Okay. Now you know!

| Grilled Avocados |
|
Richard's latest brainstorm:
Grilled Avocados.
A Salsa filling.
Atkins people call this a "special category" food.
We just like to say, "Yum!" |

A Sea Change |
Our mission says, "to make a positive contribution to our community" and also, "to use local sources of food wherever possible."
Recently we found a local source for Salmon. Granted, it is Alaskan Salmon, but the fisherman himself catches it, ships it here, and sells it to us. Oh yes, he lives here when he is not in Alaska. This is the real stuff. Wild Salmon, not farm-raised, so you know no environmental harm is being done.
We've decided to stop using farm-raised salmon. We can no longer ignore how detrimental it is to the environment, and, frankly, it is just not a healthy thing to eat.
SO, you might see our salmon price going up, but you can trust that we are serving a very good product.
And really, our community is not just the one here in Asheville, but the bigger one - the whole earth.
Thanks for supporting us in this change. And thanks for helping the planet too.
