End of Summer
September 26, 2009
Dear Friends of Kir- With the end of summer we also have some new beginnings- some pleasant (mmm… winter squash) and some challenging. The Burnside/Couch couplet is in full swing and shall remain so for the next year, I am told. Yesterday the municipality deposited a huge dumpster directly in front of KIR- not in front of the empty space on the corner but at our door! I had to laugh to keep from crying. Kristen (my friend and kitchen matriarch) and I grabbed whatever rick rack and glitter we could and proceeded to decorate. It looks fabulous! Most importantly… KIR HAS A PARKING LOT ON THE CORNER OF 7th and BURNSIDE. Please utilize this and save yourselves parking trauma.
I, Amalie, will be out of the office for 10 days while I explore the vast and culinary important region of Emilia Romagna in northern Italy. I will visit Parma, Modena, and Bologna for inspiration. Read about my visit on these pages and look for photos of my exploits. I look very forward to seeing you, my friends when I return.
Take care and Ciao- Amalie
