February’s Best Bites Once a year, I get to use the brevity of February as my excuse for a late posting of Best Bites (and Recipe of the Month, which I just posted). Then it’s back to “no good reason at all.” So, for February, a month short on days but long on good tastes, … Continue reading

Ah, December, the most celebratory and calorie-laden month of the year! Here’s mine, culinarily speaking, from quiche to sausage to turkey (twice!) to rib roast, and a reckless splurge on the complete (to date) series of Short Stack Editions. Fish & Chips at Main Street (review here). Christmas Day dinner with friends at Shanghai Park, which … Continue reading

The captions below describe some of October’s dishes, … Continue reading
October Recipe of the Month-Brownies Cockaigne & Tahini Brownies For many years, my go-to recipe for homemade brownies was Brownies Cockaigne from The Joy of Cooking. For me, no mix could hold a candle to that. But times change, mixes got better, and I got to a point where I just wasn’t able to spend … Continue reading

Once or twice a year I’ll meet my friend Marie there, because her husband, Nino Galastro, is the Executive Pasta Chef at Antimo Iovine’s restaurant. I love to catch up with Marie; it seemed that when we first met we … Continue reading

Seems like several readers have made it, and it’s one of those recipes you can “make your own” in various ways. And, for some of the other good dishes I enjoyed in September (in spite of a … Continue reading
Here’s my (late) roundup of August’s Best Bites. I had sandwiches (lobster roll three times!), eggs Benedict, peach pie, and lots of salads with JerseyFresh ingredients. I couldn’t resist melting a slice of pepper jack cheese on top of my chicken tortilla soup, and I found pink lemons at FreshDirect (they seem slightly sweeter than … Continue reading
