Dear Valued Customer,
So just for a change, I thought I’d open up a summer time letter by NOT complaining about the heat. We have all enjoyed a pretty wonderful spring and finally, summer has arrived! We all knew it was coming…it shouldn’t have come as a surprise, right? What is surprising is that instead of my usual rant about “…it’s so hot”, and “OMG, I can’t believe how hot it is”, and wah, wah, wah, I thought I’d try something a little different.
This year, I will embrace the heat. It’s not going away any time soon, so…it is what it is…as they say! In fact, I hear it might get up to around 120 degrees this weekend and I simply can’t wait. Furthermore, I might actually book myself a trip to the surface of the sun. I hear it’s lovely this time of year and I just loaded up on SPF 1,000,000,000 sun block, so I’m sure I’ll be fine!
OK…enough of that! Aside from the heat, what also comes with summer is the wonderful bounty of the season. As you will see from our new seasonal menus, I’ve tried to prepare selections that feature the wonderful fresh foods that can best be enjoyed this time of year. I’ve also made an extra effort to lighten up the menus somewhat in light of the fact that we generally prefer the lighter side of things this time of year. Please don’t be alarmed…there are still a few selections of traditional favorites with my mandatory little twists and turns. But, all told, I’m very excited about these new menus!
Please consider the enclosed menus for your next meeting or fun summer event. As always, all of us at Seasons Gourmet Catering appreciate your continued business and support and we look forward to serving you in the days and months ahead.
