Greetings Food Fans,

  It's been an interesting and exciting couple of months here at Little Victory.  No, we haven't dropped off the face of the earth...but it is wedding/ graduation season, which means we're busy (and loving every second).  We appreciate your continued support, and know you will forgive us for our lack of Blog Entries recently.  Rest assured there's plenty to come!  For now, take a sneak peek at out upcoming highlights and enjoy the season!

Highlights to come over the next month:

"Can all you Can" - A Food Preservation Workshop. LVC will be in attendance and is looking forward to using some of the tricks of the trade in our upcoming Local Victory Project.

March 6^th, 2009 

  Greetings Culinarians, and welcome to the March addition of the Little Victory Newsletter!    We at LVC have a lot to look forward to this month: the first day of Spring (is anyone else tired of snow?!), Daylight Savings Time, and of course Saint Patrick’s Day. Every year many people observe this holiday in a variety of ways, and this year LVC is changing it up.  Instead of the usual Corned Beef and Cabbage, we’re trying a new world approach this Saint Patrick’s Day and are encouraging people to host beer tasting parties. What better way to celebrate than with good food and hoppy libations? Little Victory Catering plans on taking the guess work out of your events by pairing five popular Irish style brews with a tasting menu of both stationary and passed items.  Traditional Irish cuisine with an American twist meets five great beers that whet your palate, speak to your heart, and make your event a little victory.  Please see the attached flyer for details and contact us for pricing!  

  Another great addition to this month’s roster is the Little Victory Catering Cooking Classes. Whether you’ve always wanted to learn how to make pasta from scratch, fill your home with the smells of fresh baked bread, learn to make inexpensive meals on a tight budget, or are just trying to up your game in the kitchen, Little Victory Catering can help.  For a limited time, I will be giving classes at a reduced rate in your home for a small fee and the cost of food.  Shopping, Clean-up, equipment, and instruction are all on me…all you need is a pinch of desire and a dash of open mind. 

  Lastly, we’d like to thank all of you who participated in our Customer Survey for the Local Victory Project.  You all had some very interesting things to say and some great input, and for that we at LVC are forever grateful.  We will continue to update you all on our progress with Local Victory as we go along, and remember to check the website and blog frequently for updates!  If you haven’t added us to your blogroll you can access the blog by visiting www.littlevictorycatering.com  and click the link under “Latest Info” and then click “Subscribe”.  That’s all from the Culinary Front this month! 

Until we meet again…Make your next event a Little Victory,

January 13^th, 2009Greetings and Happy New Year!    Welcome to the Little Victory Catering monthly mailing list! Inside, you'll find all you need to know about the current happenings with Little Victory Catering, and information about wonderful upcoming products and promotions!  First, thank you again to those who helped with, and attended the Little Victory Catering Mixer last October at Franklin Country Club. It was a rousing success, and could not have happened without all of you! 

Next, some of you have received the latest information on our Valentine's Day To-Go holiday special. We are pleased to announce that all packages advertised are available for Drop-Off service: the 3-course Valentine's Day dinner of your choice can be brought right to your front door for your convenience. We're extending this offer until February 13th, 2009, so all you last-minute types will still have a chance to plan something special for your Valentine. The cost varies per menu, so give us a call or send us an email for pricing and further details! 

Finally, we are proud to announce the upcoming launch of Local Victory, our newest project at Little Victory Catering.  Local Victory is a virtual (online) retail store inspired by the local growers and providers of exceptional food products in Southern New England and is scheduled to launch in Mid-Late Summer 2009.  All of the products Local Victory will offer will be made with the help of local farmers, growers, and purveyors.  Farmstead Inc, Milk & Honey Bazaar, Venda Ravioli, & Sakonnet Vineyards are among the many local businesses that will be contributing to Local Victory products.  We believe that local agriculture and sourcing are absolute necessities in this time of financial difficulty.  Buying from local vendors helps to not only drive the local economy, but also to promote a sense of community. The freshness and quality of local products are typically second to none, and through Local Victory you are free to enjoy these products at a reduced cost. Also, many of the products sold through Local Victory are preserved items, which help keep your pantry stocked for little money! 

If you think we're on to something, please follow the link to a quick three-question survey hosted by our friends at SurveyMonkey!

Until next month…
