I haven't had these in more than a decade. They were somewhat of a staple in our home when I was a kid. I didn't know they were still in business. They're not as tasty or texturally satisfying as I recall, and they weren't that great when I was 13 years old, either. But there they were, on an end display in the market this morning, and I just had to try 'em. I'm good for another decade ...

When I was a kid, the Entenmann's man came to our church (still does, just retired). There were always plenty of goodies to give out at the end of his route. The donuts weren't very nice, pretty plasticky, but my dad and me *loved* the danish twists and crumb coffee cakes. 

 

A quick glance at the website shows they are now owned by Bimbo, wonder how long that has been the case. But I also haven't seen one in ages, so distribution must be pretty small.

a long time ago , Entenmann's made some fine products .

 

esp .  the coffee cake .  then I guess they were purchased 

 

and the quality became much more average .

Pumpkin ravioli thanks to TJ and it will be a repeat buy.  Three minute cook time is a plus for a quick lunch.  Accompanying the ravioli was a sauté of mushrooms, scallions, garlic and a crumbled sausage, peperoncini and assorted seasonings were added and then cooked a few more minutes with some light turkey broth and some diced mini San Marzano tomatoes.

Dessert was a mini Raspberry, pistachio pastry cream tart.

Straight out of the tin, with a plastic fork. The fish was in small chunks, rather than fillets (the little veg cubes were underneath), but the flavor was really good.

Not quite the dogs dinner but a far cry from my salad lunches at home.  Happen to be traveling and am relatively remote. So, grocery store chef salad with hotel cottage cheese from breakfast added for more protein.  Will have some yogurt, string cheese, and pickles before the end of the work day.

Mrs. C made amazingly tender pork loin for dinner. I didn't want to toughen up the leftovers so I sauteed green beans with garlic and chipotle in adobo, added roasted/peeled chile Poblano, and then tossed in the pork and cilantro at the end just to warm it up.

the Steak was finely chopped , not ground .

 

I had the Rillettes :

Ive never had Rillettes this way , a la terrine , but usually in a ' pot '

 

both dishes were superb and the portions were very generous.  everything on those plates was well though out

 

and fit together .  superb value for the price

the Pot  au Feu w short ribs .   again , very carefully though out plates .

 

there were two pieces of SR's , you can only see one in the pic , but the second was just as large.

 

the beef was cooked perfectly , not fork tender , but fork and knife tender , w just the right amount of fat

 

the veg in that dish were cooked perfectly , not crunchy , but firm , w a bit of char.

 

Id be happy to go here any time , and get the same two items , over and over.  My friend said in the fall

 

they have authentic Caasoulet on the dinner menu . might go back soon , just for that , after more rillettes.

 

no desert.  we were planning dinner , w 3 bottles of Chablis to compare and think about .

 

in the dinner thread .

It all looks lovely and the prices seem very reasonable. The pomegranate negroni is intriguing. I generally don't care for variations on Negronis but I could be persuaded to try try that one. And two short ribs! Most short rib presentations on menus in these parts are one short rib - much to my husband's chagrin.

Along those lines and with my recent attempts to clean the garden and the fridge, eggs with leftover oyster mushrooms and chives that had volunteered into my Christmas cactus pot

A friend came over and brought some chopped liver she had made. Yummy. I made some lamb and fetta kofta and a Russian salad. An international meal which we both enjoyed.

Between rounds of Frisbee golf we stopped at a Bavarian restaurant in Madison VA. I had:

  • Bavarian Game Teller: Bier-braised wild boar shoulder, venison medallion, duck sausage w/ chanterelle mushroom sauce over sweet potato mousse, served w/ a cocktail pretzel & lingonberry garnish 

Yum. I skipped dinner. :laugh:
