I cannot tell you how many dahlia bulbs Steve planted this spring, but it was quite a lot. The sum total of our crop? Two. There were a few more buds, but they were duds. Better luck next year, Steven! #climatechangewhatclimatechange #scituate #drought https://www.instagram.com/p/CkZnuFCNJnI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This was not a line for breakfast sandwiches. The @duxburynewcomers held their annual trick or treat event in Halls Corner! Met some pretty cool kiddos today… #duxbury #lovewhereyouwork #halloween (at The Foodsmith) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkT8792v_KK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our baking Roxstar @roxie_havens10 spent her shift today decorating 100+ Rice Krispie treats and baking sprinkle cookies for the @duxburynewcomers Spooktacular! Every single sweet was gone in 90 minutes. The kids were sooooo cute! It was the best way to end our week! #duxbury #lovewhereyouwork #halloween #trickortreat (at The Foodsmith) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkT8NBuvr0S/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We just had to share today’s menu headliners — Cathy’s Autumn Veg Salad with carrot-ginger dressing (with chix or not); a (Mark) Cuban because we’re hoop fans, and @trevor_2’s spooky seasonal slurp! #duxbury #lunchmatters #autumnvibes (at The Foodsmith) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOOu6fObie/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Grab @trevor_2’s autumn slurp at lunch! He juiced Ginger Gold apples from @macksapplesnh, ginger from @wishingstonefarm, carrot, lemon, cucumber + celery. It’s spooky how good it tastes! #duxbury #juice #autumnvibes (at The Foodsmith) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkOKt17uE0q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You’re gonna fall hard for this breakfast sammie: a fluffy egg, maple sugar-coated bacon or sausage and smoked Vermont cheddar on a Pumpkin @stone_and_skillet English muffin! What more do you need on these chilly autumn mornings? #duxbury #fallfood #autumnvibes (at The Foodsmith) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjX4NVwuQ2Z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had the pleasure of catering a vendor reception at the closing of the first day of @mayflowermarketdays! And, boy, were those folks hungry! Steve and I were fortunate to use the vintage-but-with-mod-cons kitchen at the 1770 House. Shuttling back and forth with food through the rain and mud was an endurance test! #advilplease #plympton #fullcirclehomes (at Plympton, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjML6VpNcNf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And we’re back! Check out @trevor_2 ‘s autumn slurp of carrot, apple, celery, lemon + ginger, and @roxie_havens10 ‘s Pumpkin Snickerdoodle bars. #duxbury #juice #autumnvibes🍁 #pumpkineverything (at The Foodsmith) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cixh59CueJT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
