Recipe of the Month +
Greetings!
We are so often asked for access to the recipe of a favorite dish or two. New year, new thoughts on sharing recipes & in how best to support the interests of our customers. We will send one recipe to our 1,000 person e-community each month, along with a quick update / news of BRBC. Please send us your requests and to the best of our ability, we will respond.
Sincerely,
Bob and Karen Finigan

Haitian Relief: money sent / more to send
Thank you all for continuing to help us with outreach in the
hunger & homelessness space. Haiti needs help on both fronts &
so much more. We are a small shop with a great clientele & we will
continue to donate funds for Haiti, now via The National Restaurant
Association:http://www.strength.org/get_involved/restaurants_for_relief/
Specifically: Between 1/30/10 & 2/13/10 we will send 50% of value of a favorite meal item on each menu: - Breakfast - the Timbale of eggs
- Lunch - the special grilled cheese sandwich
- Dinner - the small plate gnocchi
We are happy to accept your cash donations to add to what we send! |

Gift Cards now available online, at our website
And you can "e"- send one to a friend, co-worker, family member or whoever you wish to introduce to The BRBC. We will of course still mail the gift card out to your recipient or you can pick it up @ the shop.
We hope this new option will be useful to those who call us from afar, wanting to give a BRBC gift card to someone in our area. In addition to gift cards, our web-based offering will have holiday & seasonal specials you can buy as a gift - watch for updates!

BYOB 2 BRBC
Dinners are growing in favor, wines add to the "wow" of the evening
It seems our BR clientele are fans of good wine & enjoy being able to bring a favorite bottle or two to dinner. In
the earliest days, we had no wine glasses available, in fact, an early
customer who enjoyed a glass of wine with lunch had to bring us 4
glasses for his guests use - we kept them in the office just for him!
Now we have a basic wine glass for all comers, and they are getting a
good workout on Thurs, Fri & Sat. We are planning to add wine
pairing recommendations to our dinner menu, so watch for that in the
coming months. Remember, no corkage fee @ BRBC, BYOB & enjoy a good meal, in good company with a good bottle of your favorite grape!

Mango Salsa
Ingredients:
1 ripe mango
1 small cucumber
1/2 small red onion
1 small bunch of cilantro (leaves only)
1 small jalapeno pepper
juice of 1 lime
salt / pepper to taste
To make:
peel & dice the mango
seed, peel & dice the cucumber
mince the onion
chop the cilantro leaves
seed & dice the pepper (include seeds if you like a hot salsa)
Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl & mix thoroughly
Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
This is a wonderful winter pick me up, a reminder of the sunny south & full of great vegetables & vitamins. We find good mangos at the Rt 130 Farmers' Market.
We served the salsa at lunch today with our house-braised pulled pork plate!
