Howdy folks!

So, you may have noticed that you didn't get a menu out this week, and likely surmised that it means I've made a decision. While this is true, it's just also been an especially busy and hectic week with lots of jobs to keep track of.

I'd like to thank everyone who gave us some great feedback and also encouraged me to do what's best for the company moving forward. I also just got word that the job opportunity I was looking at has decided to provisionally take us on starting this week, so we can see if it's a fit.

Thanks to all of you who've been steadfast in supporting our delivery crew as well as helping us continue to support others who needed it.

But who knows? We may be back, even if for special occasions! And if you're looking for someone to cook for your next dinner party, please keep us in mind.

Gift certificate folks, please reach out and I'll see about getting you reimbursed.

Much love to all of y'all,
Doryan and crew

Hey folks!

We're off this week and next week, and I hope y'all are enjoying the bit of lovely weather these last couple days. I know we are!

While we have the time, let's have some real talk. Orders haven't been very regular for a bit, and some other things are coming up that are making me wonder where we're going from here.

hey folks! We've been doing this for over two years now, and it's made so very many people happy, and kept many others fed when they might have been struggling. The original goal was to be able to regularly make my base minimum needed to survive, pay friends who were out of work to help deliver, and...

Just a friendly Sunday reminder that it's the last day to order for this week. Must be a lot of folks out of town, because there's plenty of room to get on board! Remember, the more people who order the more people in need we can feed!

Our food coop keeps chugging right on along, though I know everyone is busy and also going out to eat more. Just know how much it means to us and all the people we feed each week. Our nursing team and families this week enjoyed some great "Dory Chicken" thanks to all who ordered.

Quick scheduling note:
We're going to be out of town cooking at one of our favorite events over Memorial Weekend and the week prior. Due to all that, we're not going to be cooking on the weeks of 5/25 and 6/1.

This coming Wednesday, is Emergency Medical Services Appreciation Day! And we've got a friend who's going to help us deliver meals to as many EMS stations as we possibly can. So, we're bringing back one of our best pork tenderloin meals with a sauce that'll have you scraping the bottom of your plate!

Remember, the more people who order, the more people we feed, and we'll be gone for two weeks after this one, so don't miss out!

Running behind today!
G'mornin!

Our nurses and families sure did enjoy this week's meal, and I hope all of you that ordered did as well!

I'm working this weekend, so not a ton of time to wax poetical, but I realized I could've celebrated Cinco de Mayo instead of May the Fourth this week. Oh well, missed opportunity. So, this coming week, we'll rectify it by bringing back what my neighbor's kid affectionately calls "Dory Chicken." Mom might have to order an additional side of meat, because that kid's gonna eat it all!

G'mornin, everyone!

Thanks to all who ordered and donated to help feed our donor families, nursing teams, and everyone else who we got food out to this week. We've got some more folks to feed, and I'm sure you're getting hungry, so let's keep it going!

This week, we're coming up on Intergalactic Star Wars Day, and while I tried finding a good recipe for braised Bantha, supply chains are a thing.

Instead, we haven't had meatballs in awhile, and everyone seems to love our red pepper Ajvar that goes with them. Plus, the return of the Chickpea Salad, which is definitely a fan favorite! Vegans, I've got a special treat for you as well!
