mankas!

I got an email from Manka's today. Here's what we will be having at Thanksgiving:

On the Feast to Give Thanks For
Two Thousand Eight


Brick Oven Bread, Dinner Rolls,
Coastal Dairy Butter
And Devilishly Housemade Ham
Held by Local Leaves of Endive

A Soup of Wild and Tame Mushrooms
Including Our Local Gold: The Grand Porcini

Heritage Turkey Last Seen Roaming
On the Range of Historic ‘H’ Ranch
Served Alongside Lodge Mashed Potatoes,
A Chutney of Point Reyes Plums,
Bolinas Butternut Squash
And Dressing Laced with Sausage
Fashioned from Dr.Pasternak’s Rabbit

A Pie of Woodacre Walnuts
Laced with Lance’s Scotch
Crowned with a Cloud of Local Dairy Cream
And a Confetti of Candied Pumpkin
Plucked from Warren’s Patch



sweet dreams

Yum, that menu looks amazing! I volunteer with Eat Well Guide and wanted to let you know about our Thanksgiving Local and Organic Food Challenge. Eat Well has teamed up with the Consumers Union, nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports, to issue a Local, Organic Thanksgiving Challenge. We’re inviting people to take a spin on the Eat Well Guide to find local food and cook at least one local (preferably organic) dish for Thanksgiving, and share recipes at the CU site. You can read more about it at the Green Fork:

Happy Thanksgiving!
