"June in Maine”
122 Corson June Newsletter
The wonderful month of June. Dandelions, busy bees, luxuriant grass, unfurled leaves, the natural world putting on a show; who doesn’t love June! It’s hard to keep up with everything bounding out of the ground like the rhubarb, fresh herbs, garlic tops, and the warm weather teasing at an approaching hot summer. Those approaching hot days make shearing the sheep a priority so that they don’t suffer in their woolly sweaters. That job got a check this week; job done and sheep happy.
Update on the restaurant, we met with Chef Kat and her July menus are ready and now posted. The new menus look fabulous and if it’s any indication from the May response, they will be as creative and exciting. An added feature to the Saturday night offerings, is Chef Kat’s vegetarian offering which is gaining a following. When you look under ‘Upcoming Menus’, you may notice that there are a few Friday night’s thrown into the summer dining season. So as not to disappoint guests, we have added a few extra nights during the high season. There are still tables available during each of the June dates, and now that the July menus are posted, you might want to get in early as they fill quickly.
With asparagus in season, the June 13th menu offers a delicious creamy asparagus soup for starters, and the ever-popular Surf & Turf is on the menu for Father’s Day, June 20th menu. Our rhubarb patch is a forest of stems which will be put to use during the June 27th night as Chef Kat introduces a bone-in pork chop (bone-in for added flavor) accompanied with a rhubarb BBQ sauce. One of the many experiences from our recent Italian trip, is the luxury of sipping a spritzer, cocktail, wine, or beverage of choice while overlooking a beautiful view; pretty easy to do here! So many great choices, and such a fleeting season.
We don’t want to rush the season, but we are already planning for next winter. Wood splitting is a constant around here and we’re already halfway to ‘done’. We might even be in the firewood business once we meet our own needs. Bob has a stockpile of tree-length hardwood cut and left over from last year which we’re putting through the wood-processor. With the price of fuel oil at such a high, there may be a bigger demand for firewood this fall. We’ll see how our energy level holds up.
Whatever your plans are this season, think about joining us on the patio and sharing a summer beverage followed by a gourmet meal prepared by Chef Kat, and served by our professional staff.
Cheers,
Bob & Mary
