what a weekend. a girl could get used to this kind of weather.


what a weekend, a girl could get used to this kind of weather. 
there is just something about sunshine and warm weather that just makes a girl's heart sing. short sleeve shirts, no jackets. riding with the top down in my bug. playing lacrosse outside with my two littlest ones on the hay in my backyard...ahh, life is good. 


add to that sunshine, i am so freakin happy in my new house i am walking around with a perpetual sh*t eating grin. literally all day. smiling. i close the door and think, this could be the smoothest door knob i have ever turned. i lie in my bed and ponder whether i could have picked a better color for my bedroom (i couldn't. it's perfect). and when i brought home a gajillion groceries and proceeded to fill my new pantry, fridge and cupboards with every single staple i have ever wanted to cook with and then take them out 5 minutes later and actually cook with them it was all i could do not to cry. this house is like living in freakin' la-la-land. i may never leave it again. 


but if there is anything that can get me out of it, it's catchy. oh how i love that little shop. i love whipping up tasty new specials (um, can you imagine what a crispy, crunchy, filet of beef & fontina panini with caramelized onions will taste like tomorrow when you order it for lunch? i can. i will be eating it.). oh how i love filling my mini-shot glasses for you with our hot soups: 19 bean & chicken and rice, my chef is seriously gifted in the soup-making department. don't believe me? come in for a quart of apple rutabaga in the case tomorrow. it will change your life. 
so order up some delectable little goodies. let us deliver them STRAIGHT to your doorstep. at your home or office. let us cater your corporate lunch, your Easter dinner, your kids First Communion or Bat Mitzvah. there is literally nothing we can't make better with our tasty food, our outstanding servers & our customer service - it's our pride and joy.
so give us a buzz tomorrow at the shop (201.445.6400) and tell us what will make your day feel like mine did. sometimes you are just a down-home bbq salad away from feeling like you won the lottery.
