I already wrote about the lovely Grand Aioli dinner I enjoyed in early June, but here’s the rest of a month full of good food, in spite of the three weeks of it I spent taking antibiotics to stave off Lyme disease. Besides sapping your energy, antibiotics are not your tummy’s friend, so I had to be … Continue reading
I’ve been so busy that I am just throwing up these photos from May’s culinary adventures. They’re a combination of eating out and at home, and I’ve just briefly captioned them. Hope your spring’s full of delicious bites!
Between one thing and another, I’ve not found time for NJ SPICE writing. But I’ve sure been enjoying some great meals! Brunch at Cugino’s Cafe 72 in Ewing, where I had shrimp and grits and my friend chicken & waffles. Dinner at Blue Point Grill with my brother and sister-in-law: Made some yummy slow-cooker Mexican … Continue reading
With the end of winter, I’m getting out more, and April even included an excursion to Frenchtown and Milford with two food-writing friends, Pat Tanner (NJ Monthly, Edible Jersey, Princeton Echo & more) and Susan Yeske (Times of Trenton, Edible Jersey, Bucks County Herald & more). Susan wanted to introduce us to Frenchtown’s Pulp Vegetarian Café … Continue reading
Ah, Queso Flameado, I suppose it was just a matter of time until I fell into your delicious clutches. Translated, it means “flamed cheese,” and it often appears on menus as Queso Fundido, too. (Fundido means “melted.”) I don’t think I’ve ever ordered it, however, figuring it was just too sinful to add to what usually … Continue reading
I’m backed up this week, with several writing deadlines for print articles, but wanted to at least post photos of some of the delicious dishes I enjoyed last month. A high point was a cassoulet dinner put on by Carolyn Edelmann, with luscious lemon tarts by Pat Tanner for dessert. So, with no more commenting, here’s a slideshow, … Continue reading
(This article appeared in the February 27 print edition of the Packet, but never went online, so I am publishing it below.) Bostock Rocked My World I’m not exactly sure where I first came across bostock, but I believe it was at either salon.com or the kitchn.com. This take on baked French toast does seem … Continue reading
February may have been short on days (and temperature), but not on delicious foods to enjoy. From trying the limited edition Red Velvet Oreos (not as sweet as I feared, actually liked them better than the original, which I don’t care for), to working more vegetables into my diet (thanks to a visit to a … Continue reading
It did not escape me that The New York Times ran a column by Sam Sifton titled The Slow-Cooker, Redeemed shortly after my own In The Kitchen column on slow-cookers ran in the Packet. Now it’s clear, what I’ve suspected for years: they are following my columns and copying me! Guys, I know imitation is the sincerest … Continue reading
January was a tasty month for sure. Some of the photos here are related to articles that are in the works, such as the upside-down cakes (pear and blood orange), others are just things I made for dinner or picked up along the way. Note the gorgeous tray of cheesy sou-boereg that my friend (and … Continue reading
