Well Hello There

I'm Baaaaaack! Lily's two month birthday has come and gone, so my self imposed blogging hiatus has come to an end. And I have lots to say - although my posts might be a little shorter and more disjointed since someone who shall remain nameless is quite the interrupter. In case you are wondering - being a new mom is wonderful and I am totally in love with my daughter. Now comes the tricky part of balancing business and family - but with a supportive husband and family it's gonna be A-ok =)

Anyway - how I've missed this! There have been so many times over the past few months I've wanted to write and just couldn't find the time. I'm hoping to keep up as often as possible, and starting this week I will start posting the CORK & FORK MENU every Tuesday again.

Speaking of Cork & Fork - we got off to a great start this past Wednesday. I think the fact that we didn't really advertise coupled with the fact that I forgot it was Cinco de Mayo gave us a slow but rolling start to what is sure to be a great season of Wednesday night fun! Adding the new tables in is really great - although Matt & I are now adding furniture movers to our resume. The food was super delish - I forgot how much fun it is to come up with a new menu every week. Here is the menu we did on weds:

Farmers Market Salad $9
Local Blood Oranges, Goat Cheese “Croutons”, Pistachios, Chive Champagne Vinaigrette

Bruschetta Fresca $10
Burrata Mozzarella, Local Heirloom Tomatoes, Prosciutto , Grilled Filone Bread, Pesto

Midnight Mac & Cheese $9
Gorgonzola Cheese, Applewood Bacon, Baby Spinach

Firecracker Babyback Ribs $12
Garlic Hoisin Sauce, Black & White Sesame, Scallions

Summer Lamb Pot Pie $11
Sun-dried Tomato, Herbs de Provence, Crème Fraiche, Pastry Crust

Crepes “Julia” $8
Local Giant Strawberries, Lemon Crème Fraiche, Organic Lavender Syrup, Toasted Almonds
*
Shoot the Moon $55
One of Everything

Yum Yum Yum - especially those world famous Ribs.

Well I'm off to go cook up an Italian Feast with my friend Patrick Evans for 20 lovely lucky diners tonight. Being back to work is fantastic for my creative side, and I've had three months to dream up new projects, dishes and recipes. Hang on to your whisks!
