Still ain’t exactly ready to call it quits on summer but I must admit it’s winding down a bit. We’ve been picking our peppers and processing our peaches. Pomodoro plants are producing less productively. Black walnuts are falling. I even considered, briefly, the idea of long pants this morning. Nah, not yet. But we’re getting close.
The farm stands are absolutely gorgeous right now. Most of the farmers I talk to are loaded with delicious sweet corn. The season was a little later than usual. The summer campers are gone and there is an abundance of corn to be had. I encourage you to get some local corn into your freezer before it’s too late. Nothing like a pot pie or chicken ‘n biscuits mid February stuffed with sweet corn. A little blast of summer on a winter’s eve. I highly recommend a short drive down to the magnificent Schoharie Valley where you can load up on cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, etc and take in some tremendous views of their breathtaking farmland. Or just take a spin around Galway! If you’ve never seen sunrise on Donnan Road, if you’ve never taken in a sky full of stars over the Anderson farm..what are you waiting for? September nights are magnificent displays and they’re right in our backyard. And it’s free!

With all this, our menu is shifting towards slow roasted, hearty comfort foods. You’ll start seeing chicken ‘n rice, short rib ragu, seafood bisque back on the blackboard. Braised shanks with cheddar grits are soon to follow. As much as I dread putting the garden to bed, we welcome some of these dishes like a long lost friend.

Speaking of old friends…
Our music schedule is busy this week with friends we’ve known for some time.
Wednesday evening, west coaster, Joe Kaplow brings his band back to town. Kinda jammy, kinda ‘surfery’, kinda cool, groovy and loose. Really great songs. Played really well.

Thursday Jay Collins brings Northern Resistance to Galway for the first time. You may know Jay from his visits here with Scott Sharrard. Great sax player. Great keyboard player. Great singer. His band rocks! Can’t wait to have them.
Friday our very dear friends Oona and James are doing their glorious Celtic Drank the Gold thing with special guest Benny Bleu joining in. Always a beautiful thing…
Get your wood stacked. Get your apples sauced. Get your peppers pickled. Seasons they are a changin…

Thanks for fifty years of support. Thanks for your time. Thanks for the read.
And THANKS for welcoming Angus! It’s been overwhelming 💙
