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
Spring may have arrived with snow, but soon enough we’ll be frolicking through the meadows. Those meadows always make me think of lamb, which is usually my choice for Easter dinner (and, of course, it’s popular for Passover, too). But in a recent article in the New York Times, Julia Moskin bemoaned America’s reluctance to embrace lamb. It … Continue reading
Pet charity alert! I have been a fan of Mercer Street Friends and their Food Bank ever since they were one of the beneficiaries of Princeton’s annual Taste of the Nation. I volunteered with Taste for many years, and while we don’t have that event in our area any more, my family and friends have gotten into … Continue reading
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and I’m already getting information from chefs about their special menus – but first, a word about Nassau Street Seafood’s January 24 pre-Oyster Bowl fundraiser for Komen for the Cure at Mrs. G’s, and a couple of Slow Food winter markets: Join executive chefs from Blue Point Grill and Nassau Street Seafood … Continue reading

My sister-in-law’s cousin, Joe Zawistowski, has become a regular at our Christmas Eve dinners. Joe is an architect, and he travels and eats out a lot with his (many) friends, so I always enjoy talking to him. He lives north of Princeton, and gets to a lot of places that I don’t, so as we dined on delicious baked cod … Continue reading
Last year, 75,000 people attended the annual IndoAmerican Fair held in Mercer County Park. This year’s fair takes place on September 5 & 6, 11:00am to 7:00;pm, in the same location. The fair is a kaleidoscope of colorful crafts and other artwork, music, Indian food, and Bollywood-style entertainment. This is a great event for the whole family; … Continue reading
I am getting more and more emails each week about wine dinners and tasting events in the Princeton area. These events are all the rage, and many of them seem to sell out quickly, even in this economy. I think it’s the “value added” aspect of them. Not only are you enjoying several courses of well-prepared … Continue reading
I love the wines of Alsace, so am all revved up about an upcoming wine dinner that CoolVines has arranged at Blue Point Grill, indubitably one of Princeton’s favorite restaurants. This should be a match made in heaven, so if you are interested, make your reservation “PDQ,” as my mother used to say. And guess … Continue reading
