Our weekly CDA is winding down for the year, but the harvest is still plentiful.
.
.
Peppers, turnip, ginger, Korean melon, spinach, salad greens, kohlrabi, radishes, chard, celery, dill and yes. Some awful version of kale.
Our weather has started to change and we’re feeling some delightfully brisk and crisp air. When that happens?
.
.
It’s time for a big pot of homemade chili. And a trip to our local pub.. at an off hour when no one is there. Perfect.
.
.
On the menu? Duck wings with sweet Thai chili sauce.
.
.
Tis the season.
.
.
And thanks in part to my suggestion… okay my endless badgering, whatever!… the owner has agreed to run weekly cocktail specials. He even bought a lovely coffee table book of choices for me to peruse.
.
.
Keep the customers happy.
And the really good customers like me? Keep them soused, they complain less that way.

Duck wings? Nope, I’ll have the kale instead. I’m glad your pup took your badgering…..um, subtle suggestions about cocktail specials 🍸🍹🍺🍸🍹🍺.

They were juicy and quite tasty.
The duck, not the kale.
As for the cocktails I can be quite persuasive.

Kale is awful by definition, but there are varying degrees of just how awful it can be.

Duck wings with sweet Thai chili sauce? Your corner pub is a bit more upscale than my corner pub…

Their menu is small, but the cook likes to experiment with the special board.
