The Montgomery Friends of Open Space proudly reopens their summer Farmer’s Market this weekend, for their thirteenth year. It will be held Saturdays from 9:00am until 1:00pm at the Village Shopper shopping center through October 24th. Founded in 2003 to support agriculture in Montgomery and surrounding areas, the Farmers’ Market has grown from 5 vendors to 18 … Continue reading
Whatever happened to spelling it doughnut? Maybe I started off that way due to my linguistically picky mother. She, an Italian, seized up in horror whenever a restaurant worker dropped the last syllable of mozzarella, prosciutto, etc. No shortcuts or slang for Mom. But today I submit to popular culture and use just plain “donut,” although I see … Continue reading
My friend Betty and I couldn’t resist stopping by a roadside stand for strawberries the other day, since they just came into season. When I was about 14 or so, my parents planted a large strawberry patch. I promptly developed an allergy to them, so could never have any. How cruel is that? Somehow, though, years later … Continue reading
To continue our farmers market theme (and here’s a listing of New Jersey’s), here’s the latest lineup of events from the West Windsor Community Farmers Market, held every Saturday, from 9:00am-1:00pm, rain or shine until the Saturday before Thanksgiving. While you’re there, be sure to check out their new shed with a beautiful mural painted … Continue reading

The Market runs each Friday, from 11:00am to 2:00pm, through September 25. The list of vendors is here, and please note … Continue reading
Between one thing and another, I’ve not found time for NJ SPICE writing. But I’ve sure been enjoying some great meals! Brunch at Cugino’s Cafe 72 in Ewing, where I had shrimp and grits and my friend chicken & waffles. Dinner at Blue Point Grill with my brother and sister-in-law: Made some yummy slow-cooker Mexican … Continue reading
With the end of winter, I’m getting out more, and April even included an excursion to Frenchtown and Milford with two food-writing friends, Pat Tanner (NJ Monthly, Edible Jersey, Princeton Echo & more) and Susan Yeske (Times of Trenton, Edible Jersey, Bucks County Herald & more). Susan wanted to introduce us to Frenchtown’s Pulp Vegetarian Café … Continue reading
Tacos are trendy, so I’m reprising a 2009 In The Kitchen column in the Princeton Packet, which I’ve lightly updated. The article offers a little history along with a menu comprised of a nice green salsa of avocados and tomatillos, one of my favorite tacos, and a chocolate flan for dessert. Invite your friends over and go to it … Continue reading
Since my own (camera shy) mother is gone, I always feel a pang or two as the rest of the world goes right on celebrating Mothers Day. But why not, I tell myself – it’s important to celebrate with Mom while you still can, and I still get to think of my own with thanks. So, all … Continue reading
Ah, Queso Flameado, I suppose it was just a matter of time until I fell into your delicious clutches. Translated, it means “flamed cheese,” and it often appears on menus as Queso Fundido, too. (Fundido means “melted.”) I don’t think I’ve ever ordered it, however, figuring it was just too sinful to add to what usually … Continue reading
