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
If you are thinking of de-cluttering/reorganizing your kitchen – or any part of your home or office – this spring, be sure to sign up for this 4-session class at the Princeton Adult School that starts Tuesday night.

Free to a good home, as spied on lower Merritt Lane in Rocky Hill a short time ago. Somehow I restrained myself from trying to fit it in my car! I tweeted this too, calling it Easy Bake, but then I looked it up on Amazon.
I recently got an email from Tre Piani chef/owner Jim Weaver with his recipe for a 6-hour Berkshire Pork Roast. It sounded wonderful, so I post it below. If the Tuscan roast baby pig I enjoyed there at Thanksgiving is any indication, this, too will be delicious. Continue reading
From Christmas Eve (cheese tray, baked shrimp and a gorgeous homemade cookie tray), to Christmas Day (fabulous tenderloin and hours of “pass the baby”), it was a lovely holiday.

My June 28 In The Kitchen column was originally intended for their PM Fine Living magazine, but got cut for lack of space (hey, it happens!). So it ran in Friday’s Lifestyle section instead, but without two of the recipes I’d included (check out the link while it’s free for the article with recipes for corn … Continue reading
I recently wrote an article for the Princeton Packet about my ongoing (but almost complete!) home reorganization project. I am reproducing it here (in slightly longer form and with more photos), for anyone who didn’t see it and might be thinking of a similar project for themselves. While it was a little embarasssing to out myself … Continue reading
As soon as I saw this photo in an email from Tre Piani the other day, I recognized the set-up. This was from owner Jim Weaver’s very own wedding at the restaurant just a few short years ago. The scene of late-summer corn, sunflowers, herbs – and are those tomatoes I see nestled in the foliage on the curved table … Continue reading
