Besides a Thanksgiving Day Menu, I would also like to prepare seasonal delicious appetizers for days while we play cards or watch old family movies on 8 mm.
If you haven't tried Earth & Vine Provisions from California, you should. Many of their Jams, Elixirs, Culinary Sauces & Curds are Gluten Free and 100% Natural. We stock several of their products at The Cypress House.
" Northern California's moderate climate produces year round growing opportunities. With the onset of autumn, the nights become chilly with sunny days. The local farmers markets are bursting with jewel toned fruits and vegetables. The magical transformation from summer to fall inspires us to return to the kitchen to cook comforting foods for our family and friends. Our Farm to Table Provisions are harvested at their peak of flavor to preserve the season in every bottle. We hope you enjoy the season, slow down, and remember to appreciate the important things in life: Family, friends, food and love. " Earth & Vine Provisions
