We've got to get ready for the summer season...time to open the deck, and prepare new menus and spring clean!  Apologies for any inconvenience.

MAY DAY FOR NATTY J!

"Give it up" and come to May Day for Natty J!, a benefit for Natanya Johnson who is struggling with the long-term effects of Type 1 Brittle Diabetes.  The event is being held at the Deer Lagoon Grange...doors open at 5 on May 1st.   This is also an event to to raise awareness about diabetes and organ donation.  Natanya was our pastry chef at Prima...and I doubt we'll ever find another as good as her.

Natty J was diagnosed at age eleven and does dialysis three days a week. She is unable to work and only recently obtained health benefits through Medicare to help defray her exorbitant medical expenses. Natanya needs a pace-maker in her stomach to aid in digestion (one of the side effects of her condition is “Gastroperisis,” paralysis of the stomach) and is also waiting to get on the list for a kidney and pancreas transplant.

Doors open at 5:00 pm
Silent Auction from 6:00 to 8:30 pm
Live Auction from 9:00 to 10:00 pm
After that dance ‘til you drop!

Donations are greatly appreciated. They can be dropped off at Edgecliff or Prima Bistro, or mailed to Joy Timoshuk - P.O. Box 743, Langley, WA 98260.

SPRING NEWS

First off, we'll be honoring Earth Hour this Saturday, March 27th from 8:30-9:30 by turning off all the lights in the dining room and dining by candlelight...seems like a very simple way to participate with a global effort towards sustainable living.  Here's what Sue Frause had to say about it in her Seattle P.I. blog: http://blog.seattlepi.com/whidbey/

Next...the much anticipated next Langley Chef dinner will be April 22nd, Earth Day, at Fireseed Catering.  We thought it would be fitting for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust to be the recipient of the funds from this event, given the day of the dinner AND the enormous goal they are currently trying to reach of raising 4.2 million dollars to acquire and protect the Trillium property.    This will be a 6 course, wine paired meal prepared by Dave and Dawn Noble from Fireseed catering, Des Rock from Useless Bay Coffee Company, Donna Leahy from The Chef's Pantry, Jess Dowdell from Mukilteo Coffee, Matt Costello from the Inn at Langley, and Sieb from Prima.  Tickets are $85/person and will be go on sale here at Prima on April 6th at 10 in the morning.  No one person can purchase more than 4 tickets.  These dinners have sold out immediately in the past.

We are thrilled to have again been mentioned in this months Seattle Metropolitan magazine cover story:

LIVE MUSIC THURSDAY NIGHTS FROM 5:30 ON AND SUNDAY AFTERNOONS FROM 4:00-6:00!

SUNDAY AFTERNOON MUSIC

Now, along with our Thursday night live music offerings, you can stop by Prima from 4-6 on Sunday afternoons for some late afternoon tunes.  We are rotating through 4 musicians:  1st Sundays with Rendezvous...2 people, 10 strings; 2nd Sundays with David Gregor (aka Deja Blooze, pictured there to the right); 3rd Sundays with Michael Sheehan...60's and 70's folky covers; and 4th Sundays with Danny Ward...jazz saxophone.  Join us for a late afternoon snack and drink or an early dinner and enjoy this great line up!

NEW AND IMPROVED KIDS MENU AND EGGS PRIMA EVERY SUNDAY

We've expanded our kids menu...now the kiddos under 12 can get a half order of mussels or a small portion of plain risotto along with the fish and chips, grilled cheese, cheeseburger, or noodles with parm.  We also are offering a variety of sides for these kids meals: a mixed green salad, carrot and celery sticks, fruit or french fries.

Kids meals are $6.50 and come with a choice of drink and a choice of one of those sides.  We still sometimes hear from people that they didn't realize we were family friendly...WE ARE!  We are used to sweeping up the cheerios and mashed french fries...our girls are always at the restaurant...and I guarantee you they are not perfectly well behaved!



ALSO...every Sunday at lunch we will be offering Eggs Prima...the most delicious Eggs Benedict on the planet (actually although I'm obviously biased, that is the absolute truth).  We serve ours on gougeres and with fingerling potatoes.
