I’m always going on about how delicious the cupcakes are at Sugar + Sunshine bakery in Plainsboro. But their cookies are also excellent. I took this photo a couple weeks ago, and the cookies disappeared so quickly, I didn’t even take notes on what was in each one. (I’d gone there for some cupcakes for my … Continue reading

Kudos to Olive’s Princeton
Good work Olive’s! Olive’s did some catering at an event I ran this past weekend, and they did a great job. The baked-in-house breakfast items were very good, especially an excellent crumb-topped coffee cake. At lunch, the sandwich trays held a wonderful variety, including one with delicious eggplant. The potato salad was a hit, just the way I like it, with plenty of … Continue reading

S’more please!
These disappeared so quickly, I barely had time to get out my cell phone to take the photo. A clever take on s’mores, they were offered in our Genomics Café on campus at Princeton University last week. A graham cracker base was topped with chocolate cake (not too sweet, either, which was a relief), and … Continue reading
Wegmans Twisted Root Baguette
This Twisted Root bread from Wegmans is delicious and interesting to look at, as the long loaf was twisted before baking, so it’s sort of swirly looking on the outside (which I neglected to photograph!). Beneath the not-too-thick crust you’ll find a light-textured interior, made more intesting by the addition of some rye and barley malt. … Continue reading
Baba au Rhum
This would’ve been really good if it had actual liquor in the soaking liquid, as traditional babas do. But of course you can’t do that at ShopRite, so no dice. But it still wasn’t bad, and an unusual item to find in a supermarket setting. Every now and then ShopRite surprises me. I fell for … Continue reading
Taste of the Nation Princeton
Princeton’s Taste of the Nation (part of a nationwide series with the goal of eradicating childhood hunger) has become our area’s premier hunger-relief fundraiser since it’s inception here in 1992. I worked on the event myself for a number of years, even chairing it twice, and I think the world of the parent organization, Share Our Strength. … Continue reading
I Confess
From jerky to a fast food burger at Wendy’s – what’s come over me? This is what sometimes happens when I’m out doing endless errands on the weekend and didn’t bring lunch with me. It was way past lunchtime and I had to have something and it had to be fast. I pulled into a Wendy’s drive … Continue reading
