[News Boquete] 2 Guys & a Cooler have a line up for you

Good Morning Everyone,

 

 

Hope everyone enjoyed the festivities this past week.  We really took advantage of our week off from the market.  Hoping to relax with some time off but all my Honey Do’s kept us super busy.  We were able to install a nice new grease trap, we cleaned out the drain field (as it was previously used as a garbage pit by past tenants….  Yuck!!).  We installed screens on all the windows of the house as well as built 2 screen doors for the front and the back of the house!!  Now we have amazing air flow and tons of beautiful natural light…   Earlier this week be bought a really great 7000watt generator for our refrigeration equipment (just in case we lose power).  After it was all said and done the time flew by and this week is now upon us. 

 

Just wanted to extend a thank you to all those who recently inquired about having us come and personally cook at your party this year.  We are officially completely booked up till the end of January..  Thanks so much.  Chandler and I are looking forward to a busy 12 weeks!!

 

We are so glad to be back in the kitchen this week.  We have some yummy bites available for you this week.  2 weeks ago we started taking pre-orders on items that sold out super fast so this week will have some Boquete Favorites back on the menu. 

 

Cecelia and I took some time to relax by mushroom hunting and I have to admit she has a knack for finding Porcini Mushrooms!!  I on the other hand found a beautiful patch of Chanterelles.  If you are hunting mushrooms there’s about 3 weeks remaining in the season.   Good luck and don’t eat them unless you are 100% positive it’s edible.  We have a few wonderful entrees made specifically centered around these amazing gourmet mushrooms.  Check out our Mushroom Soup this week as well as our Chanterelle and Sage Chicken dish.

 

 

 

 

This week I’ll have a few items from our garden that will be available.  We have a 3 Dragon fruit starters (Pic on the bottom left of the fruit).  If you’ve ever had a dragon fruit you know how awesome they are.  Not only do they produce a beautiful 24 inch flower that blooms throughout the evening but their fruit is considered a super fruit because of their nutritional value.  Oddly enough I was at Super Baru in David on Tuesday and I noticed that they had a small inventory of the Yellow Dragon Fruit Variety.  Here it is called Pitahaya.  It was selling for over $10.50 a kilo (2 Fruits) !!!!  Funny thing is that they always sell out really quick!!  We have all 3 varieties (White, red, and yellow), and hope to have fruit available in the next 6 months.  Currently we only have some starter plants.  Also we have several beautiful raspberry plants starts.  These raspberry plants yield amazing ruby red raspberry and will give you fruit in 6 months or sooner!! Can be grown in a large container if necessary!!  (picture of the fruit on the right)    

 

 

Thanks for reading.  If you have a question or would like to pre-order anything simply reply to this message…  Or if you would like to receive our menu on a weekly basis simply send me an email and request to be added to our distribution list.   See you soon.

 

 

See you soon

Entrees:

 

Chanterelle Sage Chicken Casserole  $9.00:  You have asked and asked and it is back this week.  This dish is so awesome but because of the seasonal nature of the mushrooms that are in it we can only offer this chicken dish when nature offers us fresh Chanterelle and Porcini mushrooms.  This is a lightly floured piece of chicken breast that’s been pan fried and slow cooked in a Chanterelle, crimini, button, and porcini mushroom white wine sauce.  Feeds 2 adults and is served over brown rice.  A real treat!!
