Best Bites for August
Time flies and summer is gone! Finito! 86’d! (Okay, not technically until Sept. 22, but still…) Ironically, the first week of September brought our first real heat wave of the summer with high humidity to match temperatures in the high eighties-90° range. UGH! The better weather today made me feel like a kid out of … Continue reading
Jerk has its day at Little Island Cuisine
Jamaican jerk places have been popping up in the last couple of years, but for some reason I’ve only recently realized that!

They started doing the market because people weren’t finding the restaurant, which is tucked away with several … Continue reading

Some day I’ll actually have enough leisure … Continue reading

The market is held every Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the Village Shopper, Route 206, just north of Route 518 … Continue reading
Cutie Pie
This cute-as-a-button peach pie is from the Saturday Montgomery Farmers Market. It’s made by Just Made Bakery, the on-site bakery at Tree-Licious Orchards. The Tree-Licious table of course has lovely peaches, plums, apricots, etc. this time of year, but it was the pie that caught my eye. And it’s not just good looks; it tastes … Continue reading
