Friends, we have exciting news! LadyBoss presents: Wendell Berry Tribute Dinner. Albuquerque get your tickets today (link in bio)!

Appetizers, Drinks & Discussion
Family-style dinner, prepared by Chef Erin Wade & Chef Avery Pearson
Wines paired by Master Sommelier Tim Gaiser

Wendell Berry insisted on the pleasure of food as “the best available standard of our health.” But the pleasure he wrote of is the “extensive pleasure” that comes from our “accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which food comes.” The ritual of the meal has been one way we honor the time and labor that goes into good food. Modern life, in new and tricky ways, continues to chip away at the time we have for the pleasure of food, and for meals together.

These dinners are meant to be intimate, their intent to rekindle and celebrate the simple but transformative power of the shared meal. They will also be stupidly bespoke (I’m literally carving spoons for each attendee), come with a signed book, a coursed family-style meal, and wines paired by our friend the Master Sommelier Tim Gaiser.

Nourish your body, feed your soul. Savor the friendships that do the same. A huge shout out to our great friend Jeff . He has been supporting us for so long. He's an architect by profession, a storyteller, and sometimes dishwasher by necessity. Sucked into this wild life by love. He has helped us through many wild shifts and tough times, and makes us laugh.

This chilly weather calls for some incredible soup! We love a warm soup on a cold day.

After all the lovely rich food of the last few days, we are in need of our greens. The Greek is especially welcome with the juicy cucumbers and tomatoes, paired with the briney feta and Kalamata olives.

Also, more to come Tuesday, but did you know big things are coming to the ATX Brunch scene? Stay tuned!

The atmosphere, the earth, the water and the water cycle - those things are good gifts. The ecosystems, the ecosphere, those are good gifts. We have to regard them as gifts because we couldn't make them. We have to regard them as good gifts because we couldn't live without them.

"It is utterly insufficient (to eat pie only twice a week), as anyone who knows the secret of our strength as a nation and the foundation of our industrial supremacy must admit. Pie is the American synonym of prosperity, and its varying contents the calendar of the changing seasons. Pie is the food of the heroic. No pie-eating people can ever be permanently vanquished."

New York Times Editorial, 1902

In response to an Englishman’s suggestion that Americans should reduce their daily pie eating to two days per week.

Last chance for pie orders is Monday. (link in bio)

Good news: Fluffy. Pillowy. These rolls are basted in butter. A roll worthy of a center table spot.

Bad news: They're so good there's never enough. Think about ordering an extra pan or two to make sure uncle Jim gets a roll.

Warm apps are what Saturdays are made for. Check out our extra-crispy calamari (hint: rice flour and semolina in the batter amp up the crunch factor) with arugula, orange supremes, red onion salad, and a zippy, super picante jalapeño dipping sauce.

Like politics, all emotional connections are local, and when I asked Loccisano about some of the people who would come to her house of squid, she opened up her memories, recalling moments small and large. The old man who kept asking if she served stuffed veal breast, made the way his wife did before she died... The gentleman in his 50s who asked if he could stash something in the basement. (It was a suit he bought that day. And roses. He ran down and changed during dinner, came up and proposed to his girlfriend.) The man who stormed off without his Christmas Eve dinner becuase he was furious at having to wait for it. ("Francis. I still see him in church!" Loccisano told me.) The woman who came in with her husband on a Saturday, when they would have music, and who spent the night dancing with him in the dining room. (She said that she wanted to enjoy every moment she had left. She was dying, and didn't want to stop touching her husband's face.) When you see all that living happening at your table, I realized, all you see is how your food makes people belong to one another.

My favorite fall or winter lunch is big steaming bowls of soup. I usually invite people for around 12:30 and have two hearty soups like shrimp corn chowder and lentil sausage soup, which can be made a day or two ahead.

"Thus the one absolutely essential requirement for the art of cooking is a love for its raw materials: the shape and feel of eggs, the sniff of flour, or mint, or garlic, the marvelous form and shimmer of a mackerel, the marbled red texture of a cut of beef, the pale translucence of fresh lettuce, the concentric ellipses of a sliced onion, and the weight, warmth and resilience of flour-dusted dough under your fingers."
