By On December 2, 2011 · Leave a Comment

This Santa guy really gets around. Even in the digital age. Impressive.

Lots of Christmas-related food activities, like my favorite – “cookie walks” (what a great name, and activity!). Several churches and senior centers are holding cookie sales this week and next, including a cookie bake sale today and tomorrow at Trinity Episcopal [...]

Fresh turkeys in Bucks – 2011

By On October 30, 2011 · 2 Comments

Here’s an update for 2011 on where you can get fresh, natural turkeys in Bucks County. Not all are raised here (some come from Lancaster County or New Jersey), but they are all fresh and can be picked up just before Thanksgiving. And don’t dilly-dally. Some of these producers/vendors may sell out!

This is an [...]

Thank goodness we’re back to seasonal weather and the weekend looks pretty decent (don’t want to jinx it). As I prepare the weekly calendar update, I’m always thinking, “What are we doing this weekend? Can we go to this? Or that?” It’s always a bit up in the air.

The new, cool foodie Dad

By On June 15, 2011 · 1 Comment

Yep. It’s this Sunday. You better get your act together. Father’s Day is Sunday, June 19, 2011.

Do people still buy ties for Dads? Or barbecue equipment? Or is that all advertising gobbly gook? More like polo shirts and ugly shorts, no? What truly is reality?

Before I get too metaphysical, let’s get [...]

By On May 26, 2011 · 1 Comment

Wow. I think we are about to get a really beautiful Memorial Day Weekend. Yee-ha.

What’s happening this week? I’ll begin with a non-food event, but one that you could easily combine with food and drink on a deck or patio in New Hope or Lambertville. I’m referring, of course, to the 2nd season of [...]

Pizza for Passover?

By On April 21, 2011 · Leave a Comment

A friend sent me an email to tell me that Jules Thin Crust Pizza was offering a Passover Pizza this year. This I had to check out.

Just a little background for non-Jews. In observance of the eight day holiday, Jews not only eat lots of matzah, but we also avoid any leavened products. [...]

Baking matzah for the first time

By On April 3, 2011 · 8 Comments

I am 49 years old, and I am baking matzah for the first time in my life.

Not that baking your own matzah is a normal thing for an average Jewish-American woman to do. In fact, my mother’s response was, “Why would you want to do that?” All my life I have known matzah – [...]

By On February 11, 2011 · 2 Comments

Wine, chocolate and thou. That seems to be the theme this Valentine’s Day Weekend. I always shy away from Valentine’s Day, to be truthful. I was single for many, many years, and it wasn’t such a happy day for me. But, there’s no reason not to enjoy eating and drinking in Bucks County – whether [...]

Brrrrr. Don’t want to turn the heat up so I’m sitting with a nice cup of Jasmine tea and nibbling away at a lovely Lavender Shortbread Cookie from the Bucks County Cookie Company. I had bought the little packet of cookies to give as a gift. NOT. Why did I [...]
