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
To me, these oysters personify coolness on a hot summer day! I have had this photo on my camera for a while, I believe from Tre Piani, where Cape May Salt Oysters often star.

This cylindrical pastry, made in a special mold, was avaialbe in plain (vanilla?) or chocolate at the Wegmans pastry counter the other day. It is cake-like with a custard filling, and at $1.50, a nice treat. You could even put … Continue reading
