It’s so nice to have some cooler weather, it makes being out and about much more pleasant. I will be judging home baked apple pies at the West Windsor Community Farmer’s Market on Saturday, at 11:00am with two esteemed colleagues, Pat Tanner and baker Karen Child – see my previous post for details on that! … Continue reading
Time flies and summer is gone! Finito! 86’d! (Okay, not technically until Sept. 22, but still…) Ironically, the first week of September brought our first real heat wave of the summer with high humidity to match temperatures in the high eighties-90° range. UGH! The better weather today made me feel like a kid out of … Continue reading
Since it hasn’t gone online yet (maybe after Labor Day), I am posting the text of my recent review of Due Mari in New Brunswick. When it does go online, it will appear here. It was a wonderful meal and I want to be sure to share it with you: Due Mari Review for TimeOff … Continue reading
Jamaican jerk places have been popping up in the last couple of years, but for some reason I’ve only recently realized that! One such is the endearing Little Island Cuisine, which I discovered at the Saturday Montgomery Farmers Market this summer.

I was a busy bee in late May and June, cramming in several lunches and dinners out, plus some cooking at home, before the worst of summer’s heat puts me in relative “lockdown” at home – I have a real problem, since I was a pre-teen, with East coast heat and humidity in the summer, as in fainting … Continue reading
A friend and I took a drive to Easton, PA yesterday to meet up with another friend who lives in the Poconos. Easton was our halfway meeting place for lunch, about an hour and fifteen minutes drive, and what a nice town it appears to be! (It is also home to the famous Crayola Factory.) … Continue reading
Have I told you about my nephew the gourmet? Those are words I never thought I’d say, because a few years ago my (wonderful) nephew Patrick had a seriously limited palate. He did not like fish. Mushrooms, ugh! And cheese, not so much, except, I think, grated Parm on his pasta. Nonetheless, in 2006 we picked our … Continue reading
