Good Afternoon,

What a busy weekend we had, our thanks to everyone, we thought it went rather well!

This week’s email specials will be short, sweet, and to the point:

Our soup will be an English Fresh Pea Soup garnished with Mint and Marinated Vegetables.

We will have one of our staff’s favorite, Grilled Salmon Filet with Buffalo Sauce & Sweet Corn.

And, Steve will risk the threat of “risotto elbow” in order to offer you Risotto with Crab-on-Crab, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese & Slow Roasted Tomatoes.

Thursday is Prime Rib Night, and of course, Sunday is Henny Penny Night.

Hope to see you,

Steve & Sally

Hello,

It’s hard to believe the Memorial holiday weekend is upon us already, and how nice is it that we are actually going to have terrific weather as well!

As in every previous year, it’s traditional for Good Eats that we kick off the summer season by offering our Crab & Corn Chowder as our soup special this weekend.

For our seasonal customers coming to the Rivah for the first time this season, yes!, we will have the Soft Shell Crabs with Lime Butter Sauce this weekend.

On the specials menu we will  be offering a Petite Filet Mignon & Crab Cake, or what we like to refer to simply as ‘Steak & Cake’.

Last but certainly not least, we will also feature Seared Tuna with Mediterranean Tapenade& Lemon Vinaigrette.

Tonight, Thursday, is Prime Rib Night and Sunday Night is Henny Penny.

Thanks for your many kind comments on the new email format, and again we are beginning to work on our website…so much work to do, so little free time! Believe it or not, this August 2009 will be Good Eats 13th year in business. Hummm, “13”… maybe we shouldn’t draw attention to that.

Hope your holiday is great, with minimal traffic arriving to the Neck!

See you,

Steve & Sally

Welcome!

Good morning!

First we need to thank a very helpful customer, Jeff Dorman, for assisting Steve in formatting & streamlining our email program to make it easier for you to read our weekly emails. Thanks Jeff! Our next undertaking will be working on the Good Eats website, finally.

This week at Good Eats we will be offering as specials:

A soup, which Steve has taken great pains to authentically recreate from our previous visits to Thailand a Thai Chicken Soup with Fresh Kaffir Lime. After several attempts to find just the right spot for our kaffir lime plant to winter over in the house, we discovered it likes the humidity and light in our bathroom the best.

Other specials include those glorious Soft Shell Crabs with Lime Butter Sauce, Grilled Tuna with Mediterranean Tapenade & Lemon Vinaigrette and a Seared Filet Mignon with a Horseradish Blue Cheese Sauce.

Special dessert this week will be Coconut Panna Cotta with Fresh Strawberries.

Tickets are on sale for The Westmoreland Players newest production, ‘I Remember Mama’ opening May 30th and running for three weekends until June 14th. Visit their website at www.westmorelandplayers.org for more info.

Thank you and hope to see you this weekend,

Sally & Steve
