staplehouse - small batch

thanks to all who ordered chicken and dumplings soup last weekend, we hope you enjoyed it! to those who didn't get in on it, don't worry, this was just the trial run for our new staplehouse small batch program. starting with soups this fall and then eventually bringing you all kinds of fun seasonal goodies... marmalade and fruit preserves, smoked salmon, pickled summer veggies, hot sauce and beer mustard just to name a few of our ideas! all items will be made in small batches as we feel this is the best way to bring you a high quality product made by hand that represents our philosophy and the season. another soup is slotted for next weekend so keep an eye out for the email!

our first full on fall dinner of 2011... local radish and apple salad with champagne vinaigrette, toasted walnuts and maytag blue cheese.

the lost art of soup. very few things have the ability to satisfy the soul like a bowl of soup made with love. a bowl of white bean and smoked pork shank soup with kale.

good friends anna and drew join us on date night.

roasted breast of cornish hen with hen thigh stuffing and warm mushroom salad.

spice cake with maple custard and bourbon raisins.

thank you to (from left to right) anna, merideth, stephanie, jackson, bob, laura, tim, andrew, drew, and eric.

as summer starts to pass us by...

as summer starts to slide we grab at the last little bits. soon, the leaves will turn, the sweaters will come out of hibernation and a whole new list of great food will adorn our ceramic canvas. but not yet!
citrus pickled tybee island shrimp with fennel, basil, toasted bread and chili oil.

pan roasted virginia flounder with marinated summer squash and mediterranean salsa of calabrian peppers, preserved lemon, capers and parsley.
grilled hanger steak with guajillo chili-carrot puree and cilantro salad.

perfect summer dessert. lemon curd with berries and vanilla whipped cream.
