STILL IN LOVE WITH OUR MENU AFTER 8 YEARS
Meet Dave and Karen!
Before retiring, Dave enjoyed cooking for himself and his wife, Karen. She loved it too! However, especially now that they’re both retired, it’s not easy cooking every day of the week. Nowadays, Dave usually cooks breakfast or brunch, but when it comes to other meals, they’re thrilled they’ve found October Kitchen. “We think it was word of mouth through a friend [that we found October Kitchen],” said Dave. It’s been nearly eight years since they started, so it’s hard to say! But their desires for their meal plan were clear. “We wanted to have the ease of having meals, portion control and nutrition.” It was too easy to overcook the portions. Now, they don’t have to think about it. There are always a few meals in the freezer so they can choose what to eat at any time — no impromptu store trips needed. Dave’s preferred method of shopping is ordering online and picking up our meals in Manchester. Although it’s a 20-mile drive, they go every week and it works out perfectly for simplifying their weekly shopping trip. They’ve noticed many other added bonuses to their October Kitchen experience too, such as easier weight loss management and never getting bored of our menu. As weekly customers for eight years, they’re especially
impressed with our variety, both in flavor and types of dishes — very few times have they eaten the same thing twice in a row. Karen loves everything, but Dave’s favorite dish has to be the Guinness pork. He also loves our hearty, chunky soups, but — as a special nostalgic mention — he’s impressed by our liver and onions. “I grew up with liver and onions,” Dave says fondly. Not many places offer it, so he enjoys a chance to have it now and again. After eight years, the only thing he said he’d want to add to our menu is dark or rye bread! Our bread is a hit with Dave and Karen; they always pick one up. Thanks so much for being such passionate supporters of our business! We love seeing you every single week and we can’t wait to keep serving more of your favorites.

I haven’t been able to cook for a soup kitchen, which has been closed since the pandemic started.
since I was a kid! Canned vegetables and meals are more nutritious and tastier than ever.
No matter how you prepare for the future, National Canned Food Month is a wonderful chance to remind us to not only prepare for ourselves but also to help others prepare, too. Let’s put in a little extra effort for our community this year.
But being prepared like a Boy Scout isn’t the only reason why I wanted to talk about canned food today. Food pantries are more in need than ever during the pandemic. There’s been a huge surge in households that rely on extra help and nonperishables are key to feeding them. Even if you donate just a dollar, food pantries can stretch it over multiple meals! Personally, we support the Cornerstone Food Pantry a couple blocks away. They serve a huge amount of people, and we’ve contributed a bit more over the past year since my wife and
By supporting each other, 2021 can only go up from here.
