COME TO THE COBBLESTONE CAFÉ FOR THANKSGIVING DINNER AND ENJOY

 FREE GLASS OF WINE & WARM BELGIAN

CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN

 

HALLOWEEN IS OVER and autumn has turned to fall..THAT MEANS FOOTBALL AND THANKSGIVING TIME. In 1621, the first Puritan Pilgrims gave thanks for their successful harvest and that they were still alive after losing half of their population to hardships. They celebrated with the Wampanoag Indians, who were largely the reason they survived, as the Wampanoag taught our early settlers how to cultivate the land. Native Americans used pumpkin as a staple in their diets, and the Pilgrims picked up on this using pumpkin for soups, stews and desserts. An early version of the Pumpkin Pie was a hollowed out pumpkin with milk, honey and spices then baked. No doubt the seeds that were pulled out were then roasted and used for a snack. AT THE COBBLESTONE CAFÉ WE ALSO USE PUMPKINSEEDS. During our CULINARY CAMP in the summer, MY JUNIOR STAR CHEFS and I came up with a great PUMPKINSEED PESTO that we used for OUR IRON CHEF COMPETITION. We are going to share that recipe with you. THIS PESTO MAKES A GREAT SPREAD FOR A PANINI SANDWICH, and A GREAT SAUCE MIXED WITH CREAM FOR PASTA.    

I have A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR, in particular my sweet bride Elizabeth and our two great kids. God is blessing our lives immeasurably.  I HOPE THAT YOU WILL TAKE TIME OUT TO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, and do not forget to COME VISIT US AT THE COBBLESTONE CAFÉ. We are YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD CAFÉ for SUNDAY BREAKFAST OR BRUNCH, LUNCH Monday through Friday AND DINNER seven nights a week.

RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THIS THANKSGIVING AND LET US DO THE COOKING FOR YOU. OUR FABULOUS THANKSGIVING BUFFET FEAST INCLUDES CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN AND COMPLIMENTRAY GLASS OF WINE WHEN YOU MENTION THAT YOU READ THIS NEWSLETTER.
