These Beef Pati from Costa Rica were a labor of love - Marisol made a flavorful filling with @petersoncraftmeats beef, then Nettie and Marisol hand-filled a couple hundred empanadas and fried them in small batches. It was worth it! Order this week’s food love from Cuba by today at 10 am.
POV: You ordered Eat for Equity meals, and you sit down to enjoy a delicious, local meal without any of the shopping, cooking, or clean up.
Finish this week’s feast with Quesitos, cream cheese filled pastries with pineapple, made from scratch by Marisol. In Puerto Rico, Nettie says “we eat (Quesitos) at any time of the day with coffee.” Our crew also enjoyed our coffee and quesito break this week!
Bread this week comes from Tün Tüm Blackhill! James has the some of the best foccacia around, and he makes it in our shared commercial kitchen and sells at the @millcityfarmersmarket / Because we share a kitchen, we get to see his process behind the scenes — including James’ secret for slicing and zesting lemons without getting any juice spraying in your eyes - and looking cool at the same time- Sunglasses!
Order your meal box with @tuntumblackhill bread by Monday at 10 am
Pickup or delivery Thursday, ready for Labor Day weekend!
For the upcoming Labor Day weekend, we wanted to share a little background about the labor that will go into the meal kits this week, and the people who work to make your food.
Since the Burgers are Ready-to-Grill, let us reassure you that we’ll put at least a little work! Marisol is the fastest at the patty-making process, weighing out local ground meat, forming them into balls and patties so all you have to do is slap it on the grill. We’ll pack them into vacuum sealed bags, so they’ll last longer for you at home. We’ll make the Pesto from scratch, and for the vegan version, we’ll make a Vegan Aioli, patiently whipping in canola oil into aquafaba/chickpea water, and seasoning it with dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar.
Order the fruits of our labor by 10 am tomorrow, Monday, August 19

“Hai mangiato bene?” or “Did you eat well? “ is a common question for Italians to greet each other with, almost like a “How are you today?”
You might suggest a trattoria or restaurant with “Qua si mangia bene!” or “You eat well here!”
