Making saffron semolina cavatelli today - 00 flour, extra fancy semolina flour, Reynolds Farm eggs, saffron threads

The secret ingredient -- Reynolds Farm eggs from a local farm a couple of miles from us. Amazing!

The proof is in the yolk - simply gorgeous. These are happy chickens.

Still River Cafe We launched our new 10-course chef's tasting menu last week for the first time and everyone really seemed to enjoy it. Plan on making a night of it (most of our guests stayed 3 - 4 hours) and please do mention that you would like it when reserving.

Looks wonderful. I wonder what's for lunch when we go in September?

The advantages of an oppressive heat wave - the squash blossoms have finally arrived (along with the baby squash). Dodged many a happy bee to harvest dozens this morning.

And what is the guess as to what they will be stuffed with? Home made ricotta? Goat cheese?

 

[MIke R]

Front Street does it as a choice...goat cheese or bufala mozzerella

both are a winner.....and if my trip gets cancelled tonight I am heading right there for some

Love those squash flowers-I hope Bernard still keeps them on the menu and continues to turn them out at Wall House. One of my favorite starters on island...Amy

From the Farm - Lemon Cucumbers. This is an heirloom variety that dates back to the 1800s. It is sweeter than a normal cucumber. When they are young, they are delicious eaten raw with the skin on. As they get a bit older, peel them for a terrific salsa.
