In addition to Thursday soups I do Tuesday meals. I offer a choice of two entrees w. Side dishes in two different sizes. Some order one, some both – some weekly, some a few times a month. Two of my longtime customers have moved away. I am looking to fill these spots. You DO not to need to commit to a weekly order, but a minimum of twice a month is required. For more information send me an email.
