Hey Everyone,
This is Clem with the weekend's food update from The Rose and Kettle.
First let me remind you that this Sunday at 8 we debut our new series, POSERS' PARADE, an open invitational thematic music night. Like an open mic, but with rules. This week's theme, DAVID BOWIE. So come on over, bring an axe, a sax or an axe-man and a couple tunes to cover. We organized this event with our friend Mark Reinertson, and picked Bowie to launch what we hope will be a recurring event because there's a Bowie for everyone. There's a bard, a balladeer, a disco pop master and a glam electronic prince. Whatever your gender or current hair style, you probably resemble David Bowie from one of his phases.
Secondly, if you have a suggestion for the next edition of POSERS' PARADE, please let us know. Some suggestions already:
COWBOY SONGS, SLOW JAMS, THE BEATLES, ONE HIT WONDERS. keep them coming!
Anyway, the weekend's menu holds many great comforting favorites and some new surprises. We have Nectar Hills Farm Chorizo and Sundried Tomato Risotto with Painted Goat Grating Cheese (that's our very own upstate parmesan made from goat's milk cheese!!!).
Also, we have Gaia's Breath Farm Duck Ragu with Penne, a deeply flavored red sauce with herbs and wine and delicious slow-cooked duck meat.
We are still cooking up our favorite winter fish--Almond-Crusted Wild Barramundi Filet with Potato Wedges and Balsamic Aioli. (This is my spin on classic fish and chips: Crunchy coated white fish with salty potatoes and a vinegary dip.)
We have a delicious Eggplant Ravioli served with Marinara, Marinated Eggplant and Mushrooms, and chopped mozzarella.
Alright! Looks like the winter storm warning is in effect! So put on your Sondre Norheims and telemark across the ridge. The hearth is lit and the wine is red (and white).
Yours,
Clem Coleman
