Nice Nephew Updates Uncle’s Website

My name is Riley Morgan. With a loss of events and activites for Winter Break, I decided to come out to my uncle’s shop and find some work. I took a couple pictures to update the website, that I recommend you visit, that I think turned out alright.

Another Oyster Party

We’re doing it again!  Les Huitres Volantes, The Flying Oysters, are kicking off their season in the Slough Food Courtyard this Sunday, October 9th, from 11 to 5.  When we last partied with oysters back in May, we blew through 70 dozen by around 3:30.  That said, come earlier than later.  And please note:  Les Huitres Volantes run a cash or check only operation so please plan accordingly.  And no reservations are required.

Slough Food will be providing our normal courtyard menu with the addition of oyster friendly wines.

Here’s a link to the email invite we sent out – here.  Not on the email list?  Please sign up here.

Another Paella Party!

Our July Paella Party was a hit, so we’re doin’ it again!  Knut will be cooking up two batches of paella.  The first was done around noon, and the second around three.  No reservations necessary, simply enter the Slough Food Courtyard, grab a beer (Boundary Bay IPA on tap!) or a glass of wine, and enjoy a platefull of this famous Spanish dish.

This event was a complete success.  Les Huitres Volantes (via Taylor Shellfish) brought in eight varietals of oysters:  Olympia, Kumamoto, Kusshi, Shigoku, Samish Bay, Totten Inlet, Eld Inlet, and North Bay.  We sold out, shucking 70 dozen!

Taking the summer off, Slough Food and Les Huitres Volantes are already planning the next tasting come late September, early October.  We are also working to make this oyster degustation a monthly-ish event through the winter and springtime.

Ontanon Slough Food Pairing

Salutations!
 
Please join us here in Edison, at Slough Food, to welcome Ruben Perez Cuevas (his first U.S. visit!), and to taste the fabulous wines from his family’s Rioja winery, Ontanon.  Ruben and his American liaison, the lovely (and a personal friend) Laine Boswell, will be pouring their wines this Saturday, April 16th, from 1:00 till 4:00.
 
Jon Rimmerman of Garagiste calls Bodegas Ontanon the pace car in Rioja, saying “I’ve been waiting for a producer like this for a long time, specifically, a Rioja entity that defines a modern sense of the category with traditional means – one that places fruit and terroir over new oak and flash but keeps the fruit intensity dialed up to 11.”
 
And R.John DeGloria of Slough Food says, “These wines are deliciously drinkable.”
 
Finally, and coincidentally, Slough Food’s birthday is April 16th, this Saturday!  Seven years young…
 
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in Edison,
 
John

Boundary Bay Brewery

Boundary Bay’s public relations guru, Amy Jones, came to Edison last week with her skilled cameraman, Mark, in tow.  They have started filming, and interviewing,  local businesses to help highlight the importance of shopping locally.  And, I think, to have some fun!  Here are links to their professional and enjoyable video shoot:

Skagit Valley Spring 2011

One of my favorite signs of spring is the arrival of Gothberg Farms Fresh Chevre!  Just received the first delivery yesterday, and I devoured one last night for dessert.  Delicious.
