It’s officially summer. All the signs have been there – heat, humidity, thunderstorms, blueberries, fireflies, ice cream and even corn, but there was one more today. Cicadas. Why is that sound so comforting? Only one more thing I’ve yet to hear. Crickets. And of course we don’t have lovely, red tomatoes yet. Then it will [...]
You may have heard about the historic Perkasie Carousel at Menlo Park. Well, there’s another carousel in Perkasie—a restaurant carousel.
The building at 1167 Dublin Pike (Rt. 313) in Perkasie has housed a number of restaurants over the years—the Swiss Chalet, a hoagie joint, and the Back to the ‘50’s [...]
Feeling a little damp today. Rain, humidity. Guess it’s officially summer in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Either that or the Amazon rain forest has moved way north. Ho hum. But still lots of fun things to eat and do this week. Check out the abbreviated calendar below and click on Food Events in Bucks County [...]
Empañadas. Half-moon-shaped dumplings filled with beef, chicken, pork or cheese, then deep-fried until golden and crisp. Do I have your attention now?
This is how it happens. I’m driving someplace, and something catches my eye related to food, and I practically swerve off the road. It’s an argument that goes on between my stomach and [...]
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 [...]
The forecast this weekend is mixed – for the weather, but not for fun things to do and eat!
Strawberries still abound and overcast skies are the best conditions for picking it yourself, says personal chef, Rich Baringer, in his article on where to find strawberries in Bucks and how to pick them. [...]
Ok. I’ll say it. This is killing me. Sitting inside at the computer on this absolutely magnificent day. This is going to be short, folks. The backyard is calling to me. Also, there is lots going on this weekend. Here are the highlights…
Welcome Plumsteadville Grange Market, opening for the season tomorrow, Saturday, June [...]
Congratulations to the Milford Oyster House for making number one!
In a recent posting, Zagat announced that this favorite local seafood house in Milford (just north of Frenchtown) was selected as the best Seafood restaurant in New Jersey, based on their most recent survey. This list includes the top 5 rated [...]
For those of us who will still be stuck here roaming the earth after the rapture, we might as well enjoy ourselves, no? My husband tells me – and he’s the one who watches the news 24/7 for his living – that the ones left behind will have five whole months before the [...]
Whoowee! Another great weekend in Bucks County. Temps in the 60′s and 70′s; only a chance of showers on Saturday, maybe “scattered thunderstorms” on Sunday. I’ll take it.
What neat things are on tap this weekend? Ever been to a Beltane Festival? Now’s your chance. Bobolink Dairy Farm & Bakehouse will be holding [...]
Yes! It’s “early” this year. That’s what everyone is saying about Mother’s Day. It’s still the second Sunday in May but it does feel early. Not to worry. There are plenty of fun things to do this weekend in honor of the one who gave birth to you, went through hours of labor and put [...]
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. [...]
In honor of Mother’s Day, the Copper Leaf Grill is opening its doors on Monday May 2, 2011 to host a benefit dinner for A Woman’s Place, the wonderful organization in Bucks County that helps women – of all ages – at risk of domestic violence. If you have never been [...]
I’ve looked at the forecast for the weekend…and I’m confused. It’s one of those partly sunny, partly cloudy, maybe showers, maybe not, and in the high 50′s to low 60′s. I’ll take it. And every time I talk to someone, the forecast temperatures for Monday go up – first it was 75°, then 80°, then [...]
April showers bring May flowers? Then what does April snow bring? Jeez. Let’s hope for the best!
Lots of interesting things happening this week, food-wise. Here are some tidbits I’ve been collecting for your munching.
A new Community-Supported-Agriculture (CSA) farm begins its first season. Welcome to Sandbrook Meadow Farm located on 50 acres [...]
