I’m looking over a beautiful dusting of snow throughout my woods. So nice and clean and pristine. Yesterday I had the fore sight to get the heated bird baths filled and plugged in. It is so fun to watch the birds flutter around giving themselves a bath. They are mowing through the food too, about 40# of sunflower seeds every couple of weeks. Lots of cardinals, bluebirds, titmouses and chickadees just about live on the feeders.Uma, my barn cat, is eating more too, gearing up for the cold weather. She will just about double in size for the winter and then loose it all in the first couple weeks of spring. Interesting how nature works. My little Niki was in 7th heaven this morning when she ran out – snow is one of her favorite things. She races through it, sometimes almost getting buried in the deeper mounds. I’m not particularily fond of a snow covered dog melting in the house but, what the heck, if she’s having fun and getting exercise to boot, how can I complain? Pico, on the other hand, tiptoes through it and can’t wait to get back into the house. And my big buddy, Picasso, got his heavy blanket put on yesterday, not a bit too soon.Winter is upon us!
As we finish our second month all continues to go well at the Bistro. It is so great to see all the festivities unfold. There are lots of little “parties” going on at many of the tables. We love the good cheer this time of year brings.
On a sad note, Father O’Brien, who’s kindness many of us were recipient’s of, passed away last Sunday. He was a frequent diner with us. He’d never look at a menu, just ask “Mary, what should I have tonight?” and, then have what I suggested. We will miss his cute smile, hearty laugh and funny stories. How thankful I feel to have had the pleasure of being his friend.
Sharon is baking for Christmas. Pecan and Key Lime Pies, Peppermint or Chocolate Bark, Maple and Bacon Peanuts, Citrus Vinaigrette and our “now famous” Bar Cheese. Pies are $20, Citrus $8, $12 for either of the Bark’s and $8# for the Peanuts and Bar Cheese. Orders will be taken through December 20th for pick-up on the 23rd and 24th.
As a special for the season, all wine purchased “to go” is half off.The wine must be pre-ordered as we do not have space to warehouse in the restaurant. Turn over time is usually a couple of days.
Don’t forget that Brady Gift Cards Make A Great Present!
We will be open on Christmas Eve until , closed Christmas Day and open for business as usual on the 26th.
We have started running specials during the week and they’ve been going gangbusters. I’ll have to say the walnut crusted walleye was one of my favorites. This weekend we are featuring:
Giant Lamb Meatballs Served Over Linguine Tossed With Marinara And Sprinkled With Fresh Basil And Romano Cheese.
And,
Sweet Bay Scallops Stirfried With Asian Style Veggies And A Ginger-Soy Sauce; Served In A Crispy Wonton Bowl.
