Wednesday nights at Dan’s Silverleaf
For quite a few Wednesday nights now, Pam Chittenden has been cooking incredible, cheap meals and serving them at Dan’s Silverleaf. Sadly, I missed out on last night’s pork loin stuffed with sundried tomatoes and manchego cheese, and JELLY ROLL! with fig and lavender jelly, but thanks to Howrad (the the wizard behind the Stage Dumps curtain), the world can live vicariously via her Reckless Appetite blog. Things usually get going around 6PM, and the full three courses is $11 ($10 if you bring your own plate).
Also Wednesday nights @ Dan’s, Joe Cripps hosts Old Timey Drink Night. Gimlets, Old Fashioneds, Sea Breezes, Perfect Manhattans, Sidecars, and just about any other grandma/grandpa drink you can think of that takes an unbelievable amount of work to prepare. He made me a stellar Old Fashioned, which I had in honor of my dad.
While I’m at it, might as well mention that Bookish Coffee’s new Nicaragua Aldea has been pretty stellar for me. I just ordered a bag of the Brazil Camocim 3C to compare.
