Valentine's Day Ordering Now Available

 

Hey Y'all,

Thanks for sending me so many hilarious responses from our mask question last week. I had mentioned some of my favorite reasons for wearing a mask (trying to look on the bright side) and asked you to send me some of yours. Here's a few that we loved:

Kim said, " It keeps your face warmer in Winter, especially in the parking lot when you are going from car to store and vice versa." And I agree with this. It also keeps your lips from getting chapped!

Tim said, " Nobody can see that little bit of lettuce stuck to your teeth from your Subway Tuna Salad sandwich." Or that bit of lobster from your Kathleen's Catch lobster roll!

John - "With a mask all you need is a water pistol and you can be rich! This is hilarious but don't go getting any ideas!
Liz - " Masks cover wrinkles" Of course this would come from someone with NO wrinkles!

Jenny - "N o one can see your boogers!" I wasn't surprised to get this one from a mother of houseful of boys!

And I thought of another one - When your dog licks your face you don't get dog spit in your mouth.

Valentine's Day Ordering Now Open!
We've made some changes to our menu this year that I think you are going to love. You can go to our website to see your options and submit your order. Click here:  Valentine Dinner Special OR you have the option of ordering through Mercato this year. Just go to our homepage, Johns Creek or Milton, and you'll see the meal selections. After you send in your order we will call you back to finalize the plan and collect payment. Pay attention here: orders have to be in by February 8th. Don't be that guy calling on the morning of February 14th looking for this deal. It won't be there!

A few of our appetizer options are pictured below:
Special This Weekend (while supplies last):
Fluke Flounder at just $14.50/lb!

Here's a great recipe to go with it:
Baked Flounder with Fresh Lemon Pepper
Catch-To-Go This Week
Available until Sunday, we have a delicious Red Grouper baked in a cilantro jalapeno marinade served with southwest-style potatoes and broccoli tossed in a chili lime sauce.
Starting Monday, we'll have one of our famous Catch To Go meals: The Shrimp Boil Bake! Here's a little flashback of our Chef & Market Manager, Evan, cooking it up a few years ago!
And Finally
The strange inauguration this week was inspiring for some and worrisome for others. The change to a new government is a time of uncertainty about what is to come but I know for sure that that little girl, Amanda Gorman, touched the hearts of America regardless of political leanings. My favorite from her poem:

Somehow we've weathered and witnessed
a nation that isn’t broken
but simply unfinished

I don't know about you but I NEED to hear something positive after the horrors of 2020. Even if all you take away from the poem is the idea that a (young!) person believes that we are all in a process of moving forward. The political pendulum swings back and forth. But as we move from one party to the other and back again, we are inching a little further ahead as a whole. Right or left, right or wrong, let's all look ahead as the young poet says:

And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
but what stands before us

If you'd like to read the whole poem, the link is here

Stay safe this weekend as this crazy virus rages around us. Be well and be happy.

Blessings,
Kathleen
