Treats for Your Holiday Feast

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Having the family over for the holidays doesn’t have to be stressful (unless there are people in your family, in which case, you’re sort of out of luck.)  We can ease the tension, though, by adding a few items to your table.

Whole pies are available for Thanksgiving (or any other time) and can be picked up until Wednesday, November 25th.  Pumpkin pies are $14, apple and chocolate pecan pies are $20 each, and our pumpkin cheesecake with gingersnap crust is $24.

New this year, we’ve added buttery pull-apart dinner rolls ($7.50 per dozen) and 20 ounce loaves of brioche for $4.50. Oh, you’re staying until Saturday?  Great.  No, really.  Bacon and cheddar quiche or roasted red pepper and goat cheese quiche serve 6-8 totally welcome and not at all obtrusive guests and are available for $20 each.

We will be open Tuesday, Nov. 24th & Wednesday, Nov. 25th  from 7 am - 2 pm, and Wednesday evening from 6-8 pm.  We’ll have some wine & cheese on hand to help bring in the holiday cheer.  To place orders, please call (773) 478-2233 or email orders@blueskyinn.org by midnight on Monday, November 23rd.  (Call the bakery for last-minute orders, we will do our best to accommodate you.)
