Storm Food for Snowmageddon

Storm Food for Snowmageddon

Twitter is aflutter with amusing tweets about stocking up with groceries for the coming storm. Are you ready for Snowmageddon? What are your favorite things to eat or drink during a blizzard? (Don’t even think about losing power, in which case all bets are off!) One woman said she’d sent her husband to the supermarket and … Continue reading →

Thanksgiving Pre-Game and The Suppers Programs

Thanksgiving Pre-Game and The Suppers Programs

There are things you can do ahead of time to prepare for Thanksgiving and other holiday dinners (besides make reservations at a restaurant!). Some of these things involve the food itself – scroll down for a make-ahead gravy recipe and give thanks if you don’t have to wrestle with that  task on turkey day. But another … Continue reading →

A Rosh Hashanah Recipe

Meeting someone just once can leave an indelible impression. Such was the case when Joan Nathan appeared at Wegmans in Nassau Park in 2000. I interviewed her by phone before her appearance for an article, and then sat in on her appearance. She was gracious and friendly, and to this day I avidly read her … Continue reading →

Veal

I love stuffed, roasted breast of veal, and made this last October, but never got around to posting about it.  I’d included the veal in a cheese order from Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse, and had it in the freezer just begging to be used. For the stuffing, I made do with what I had on … Continue reading →

Fluke

I am never disappointed at MoC MoC on Tulane Street in Princeton. This was the fluke appetizer (Usuzukuri), lovely and glistening fresh on a glass plate. My friend enjoyed their special pancake with spicy tuna, a wonderful combination of crisp and soft, warm and cool, with something slightly sweet in the drizzle of sauce on … Continue reading →

  Sometimes I make a point of trying something I think I don’t like. Okra is a good example. When I was young, my Armenian grandmother stewed okra from the garden in various ways, and I hated them all because of the slimy stuff that they exuded.  Ugh. But several years ago I discovered the … Continue reading →
