Here is the info from my friend in Dennis. There are three food markets in town that offer curbside and/or delivery. Dennis Public Market (rte. 6A), Ring Brothers Market (rte. 134), and Rory's Market (rte. 28 in Dennisport). There are two farmer's markets in Dennis. Matt's Organic Gardens on Upper County Road on Fridays, and Bass River Farmers Market on Thursday and Saturdays. She also said most restaurants in town are offering curbside pickup and/or delivery. Hope that helps!

Wellfleet is one town closer to you than Truro, and they have a farmer's market every Wednesday from 8-12. Stop and Shop in Orleans offers curbside pickup for online orders. If you drink wine, Truro Vineyards offers curbside pickup with a 10% case discount. I like their dry rose and their sauvignon blanc. They are also offering tastings and food, but the time I went I felt it was too crowded to get our of my car. One idea for your birthday meal--though you will need to call first to be sure he is still doing it after Labor Day (he usually stays open through late October, but this year is just weird) -there is an outstanding restaurant in Wellfleet called Ceraldi. On Wednesdays and Saturdays the chef is offering curbside pickup for what he calls "seven sets." It is a seven course meal that he prepares in full. It comes cold with reheating instructions. All the food is in oven safe containers, so you don't even need pots and pans. He is extremely talented, and it would definitely make for a special dinner. If you click on the Outer Cape dining thread in the New England forum, you can see photos I have posted of meals there over the years. I have a friend who lives in Dennis year-round, so I will ask her for any other suggestions that might be right in town, and will get back to you.

Very easy! I just shredded the zucchini on a box grater (mine was big too--though not as big as yours!), and sautéed it in a little butter and adobo seasoning until it got a little crispy and tender. I just cut the eggplant into sticks, then did a flour coat, egg coat, and seasoned bread crumb coat. I slicked a pan with some olive oil and baked the sticks at 375 for 40 minutes, turning them once. The timing varies based on how big you cut your sticks. Once they are browned and crispy, they are done.

What town are you staying in? A lot of the specialty shops are offering curbside pickup. I'm heading to Wellfleet for a month in 10 days or so.

This week's CSA delivery. The head of frisee is one of the largest I have ever seen.

Wedge of brie, crusty bread, and a strawberry-arugula salad with almonds

I just checked my profile. I joined July 31, 2003. I can't remember what prompted me to join though.

Sunday I made equites and chicken fajitas Last night, Acadian redfish over ramen with yu choy, joy choy and blistered green beans with chili oil

This week's CSA box. Note the evil green bell pepper. I am going to call my Mom and see if she wants it. If not, it is going into the compost!

My husband and I go to Bermuda every year (well, not this year, thanks to Covid), and we usually time it so that we hit the local lobster season, which starts, I think, in late August. I don't like lobster but my husband loves it. The local Bermuda lobsters are the spiny type, with no claw meat, only tail. My husband says that it is firmer and meatier than the Maine lobster, better suited for grilling. He claims that the Maine lobster is sweeter. I've gotten that error before and have found that resizing the photos to be smaller fixes it. Last night I baked a couple loves of pane francese. The dough was super sticky and hard to work with, but I was pleased with the end result. We got a large delivery of antipasto stuff, some fish, and a box of fruits and vegetables Eataly yesterday. Eataly has started a new (at least to this area) weekly delivery service. Delivery is free to anywhere in the state as long as you spend $200, which is very easy to do at Eataly. Some of the stuff from that delivery and the bread was dinner.

Cauliflower tikka masala, paneer butter masala, naan, and maharajah rice. My nephew showed up in the kitchen 45 minutes before dinner and asked me to teach him how to make Indian food. I told him I had already been cooking for two hours and he was going to have to show up earlier if he wanted a lesson in Indian food! He did finish making the paneer masala sauce for me 🙂
