Autumn 2003
Volume 4 Number 3
I
f you haven’t had a chance to
see our gardens this year, you have
missed a special treat. Between
Mother Nature and Will Belcher,
our caretaker, they’re all just about
perfect. We’ve been taking pictures
of some spectacular blooms that
we’re making into postcards for you.
We’ve also gotten into heirloom
tomatoes in a big way. They’re
fabulous and colorful and we use
them in everything!
Awesome Autumn
We’re Grilling!
Although Mother Nature threw us a curve with all
the rain we’ve had this season, we have prevailed!
And there’s still time left to enjoy the sensations of
summer at Patsel’s Garden Grill.
Our summer parties have been great
fun and although I’m not ready to
let go of summer, (I’m sure you’re
not either!) we have some new and
exciting things happening this fall.
Make note of the dates the Doug
Smith Trio will be playing at Patsel’s. I know you’ll enjoy them.
We’re going to have our first Opera
Night in November presented by
Mostly Opera. If you are a seasoned
opera lover or have never heard an
aria before, you might like to join us
for a light musical evening with a
typically Patsel’s dinner.
Bring the children and the grandchildren to the Author’s Event in
October. Everyone will have a
wonderful time listening to stories
by their favorite writers then getting
to meet them.
-Patsel
Relax on the Patio amid the beauty of our landscaped gardens and order from a menu with a variety of à la carte items. We’ll cater to your appetite.
Relish specialties from Gourmet Burgers & Ribs to
Grilled Lobster and Barbecue Shrimp. We do everything on the grill, even the nachos!

cool to room temperature. Cut into bars
and dust with confectioners sugar.
Patsel’s
Memories
A Sizzling Summer it was with a trio
of entertaining soirées. Our Hawaiian Luau led the parade in June
with a huge roast pig and hula dancers (Keleleihua) and tropical music
that entertained delighted diners.
July’s Caribbean Cookout brought
the sounds of the islands to Patsel’s
garden with a live Trinidadian Steel
band. Our Lobsterfest and Clambake followed in August with AllAmerican fun and fare with Doug
Smith’s Dixieland Band.
Also attracting attention and providing enjoyment was an Author’s Tea
and Book Signing, hosted by Tudor Book Store in June, our successful series of Etiquette Classes in
July and a Teddy Bear Picnic for
the younger crowd in August.
The Doug Smith Jazz Trio will be playing
two Fridays each month September
through November. Doug, a fabulous
bassist, has two young cousins who play
Coleman and Doug Smith
the finest jazz fiddles anywhere. Coleman
and Austin Smith are here attending Marywood University and appear regularly with Doug. Coleman will play his
fiddle with Doug and we’re hoping that Austin will sit in from time to time.
So join us on September 5 and
26, October 10 and 24, and November 7 and 21.

first introduced in Switzerland, is a public art
project attracting thousands of visitors throughout the five counties of the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor in Eastern
Pennsylvania and beyond.

popular event, which features children's authors who will speak,
answer questions and sign their
books. Books will also be available for purchase at a discount.
“Every minute of the five hour drive
was worth it!”

Book Store at 570-586-9595.
and from Nancy Llewellyn…
“I’m very fond of Patsel’s, although I
am from New York City and therefore
don’t get to enjoy it often enough. I was
recently entertained at Patsel’s for lunch
during the week and the experience was
just as nice as every other time. The
food was marvelous, the service was
exceptional and the surroundings a
sight for sore eyes… and I love that
Mule who now graces the parking lot.
and another customer remarked:
“How do they get so close to the edge
without going over?”

Cost for this event is $30/person,
which includes a $5 gift certificate
toward the cost of a book.
Thinking Ahead
Wow! That was a fast
summer. I can hardly
believe that September is here. It was
good to see so many
familiar faces and quite a few new ones as
well. We got off to a slow start this summer with our new Garden Grill. But we are
hoping to keep it running long into the
autumn, weather permitting. The kitchen
is chugging along. My staff and I are having fun coming up with new items for all
of you to try. I have come across a new
purveyor who has some interesting food
for us to play with such as Wild Sturgeon,
Ivory King Salmon, and Hudson Valley
Guinea Hen, to name a few. So you will
need to come frequently to see what’s new.
Don’t forget to book your reservations
early for Thanksgiving
and your holiday parties
at Patsel’s.
See you soon,
Chef Michael Bodner
