Reception Tonight 5-8

Meet artist Marsha Gregory and her students tonight at Carmen’s!

See the work of Marcia and her advanced art students from Averill Park high school tonight from 5 to 8.

Tapas samplers & beverages as usual; plus a limited dinner menu.

Preview

Here’s a preview – an overhead view of the Lobelia & Pansies & Petunias we’ll be giving to Moms for Mother’s Day.

If you haven’t made a reservation, it’s best to call ahead. We still have some availability and we would love to see you!

Filet & Eggs

Special this weekend – but we couldn’t wait till then to try some!

Tender, juicy fillet mignon with two eggs any style. Home fries, side salad, and fresh fruit. English muffin or toast, and gluten-free is an option!

Fredda at Forage + Sundry

You remember Fredda from her show at Carmen’s two years ago. She is still at it!

Her exhibit at Form + Sundry is open till eight tonight, and is officially open tomorrow at Troy Night Out.

Beautiful shop, great work— Check it out!

Earth Day!

Intrepid volunteers (10 of 23 who showed up) cleaned the Uncle Sam Trail, a scenic wooded former railbed in Lansingburg. What have you done for The Earth?

Remember, if you tell us your Earth Day work, we pour you a free Jim-Gerale!

Black Bean Omelet

It’s Back!

The tastiest, savoriest, wonderfulest (stop me before I keep inventing words) breakfast you will ever eat!

Black
Beans, sautéed with tomatoes, onions, and cilantro, topped with Manchego and a dollop of sour cream.

Scrumptious!!

Lamb In The Morning

Tender and succulent, sautéed with butter and maple syrup— like nothing I’ve ever eaten, and growing up our family raised sheep.

Special today at Carmen’s

Almost Gone

No wonder, it hits all the notes!

Rare Filet, Mushroom Jus, savory Potato Pancake with Scallions and Garlic, Grilled Veggies, and I almost forgot to mention the Eggs!

More than delicious, stupendous! It’s no wonder we are almost sold out already and it’s still Saturday morning!

Jackie Baldwin Potluck Tonight

Folks—

We’ll be honoring Jackie tonight, Wednesday April 6, from 5:30 to 8:30 here at Carmen’s Café, 198 First Street.

We ask you to bring a dish or drink to share— the extras are going to Joseph’s House, so disposable bowls are best.

Not a cook? Didn’t know Jackie? Don’t worry about it, come any way. You’ve probably tasted her food, if you’ve been around Troy. She cooked for everything and everyone.

But bring something, if you can. And don’t be afraid to take risks— Jackie often encouraged folks to just try it. If you get stuck, reach out to her and ask for some help. She’ll be there.

Filet & Eggs

My favorite breakfast! Succulent Filet Mignon, grilled to perfection, with two Eggs Easy, Grilled Vegetables, and a savory Potato Pancake. And don’t forget the Mushroom Au Jus!
