    The Fresh Lobster Visits Rome

     

    We'd like to thank Chris B., a student at Wentworth Institute in Boston, for this picture of our little friend at the Coliseum in Rome, Italy.

    TFL Rome

    Commissioned around 70 A.D. by Emperor Vespasian, the coliseum was completed 10 years later by his son, Titus. It held 50,000 spectators who were seated according to rank, and opening festivities were said to have lasted for 100 days.  

    If you are planning a trip, let us know.  We would love to send The Fresh Lobster along to accompany you.  It could be kind of fun, and we'd love more pictures !!  Drop us an Email and let us know where to send your Fresh Lobster friend.  If your picture is chosen as the photo of the month, we will send you a Fresh Lobster T- Shirt.

    Cinco de Mayo

    cinco de mayo TFL

    Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for "Fifth of May", is also known as the Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla. It is a national holiday in Mexico in honor of a military victory in 1862 over the French forces of Napoleon III. Cinco de Mayo has become a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage, especially in areas with large Mexican-American populations. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with parades, mariachi music and street festivals.

    Here, at B&M Catering, we'll use any excuse for Fiesta!

    Today, we will be trying out batches of the two different types of guacamole outlined by our friend, Tricia in Friends, Food Family: Cinco de Mayo Throwdown - Killer Guacamole VS Tequila Lime Guacamole.

    Our customers often enjoy our own "South of the Border" menu which includes:

    • Vegetarian or meat chili
    • Taco bar
    • Mexicali vegetable medley
    • Spanish rice
    • more.....

    Might as well mix up some margaritas and chill the Dos Equis.

     ¡ Que todos tengan una fiesta !

    Wow, That Was Fast!

    19 minutes and 16 seconds is all it took for Michelle Sarney to complete the hilly, rocky 5K Outrunning Homelessness 5K course at Borderland State Park on April 27.  That time put her in front of all of the other female runners ...  and most of the male runners, too.  

    Clambake winner

    As the top finisher in her category, Michelle earned the grand prize of B&M Catering's Clambake Dinner to Travel. Michelle and her family and friends will certainly enjoy the dinner of lobsters, steamers, corn on the cob, potatoes and more.    

    This was the 3rd running of this signature event that raises funds for School on Wheels of Massachusetts, a local non-profit organization that provides one-on-one tutoring and other academic support programs for children whose lives have been impacted by homelessness.

    We are proud to support the good work of this organization.

    Tim Walker's Quinoa Salad

    Many of our customers are familiar with Tim as the friendly voice on the phone who helps them navigate all the details for their catered event.  Whether someone is planning a wedding, graduation party or rehearsal dinner for 50 to 200, or they are planning a business conference for 600, Tim is right there, helping folks stay calm and focus on making appropriate decisions for the upcoming event.

    Tim Walker B&M Catering

    But - Did you know that Tim is also an accomplished and creative chef?  

    A graduate of Johnson Wales University - College of the Culinary Arts, Tim is constantly researching new flavors and combinations of ingredients.  More and more, our customers are interested in providing healthful vegan and vegetarian options at their events.  Tim knew that quinoa was a popular choice for many. For one thing, it is quite nutritious. According to Jolinda Hackett, author of The Daily Vegan Planner, one of the best reasons to enjoy quinoa is because it has a high-protein content, which makes it a great cholesterol-free and low-fat source of protein for vegetarians and vegans. For another thing, quinoa can be just so delicious.
