Ice cream is good. Ice cream you can take home…well, that’s even better. And dangerous. Chubby’s Dairy Barn, the popular ice cream hang-out in Plumsteadville, has kicked it up a notch, introducing this season, Chubby’s Reserve, a line of their own recipe, take-home ice cream.

Welcome Half-Pint Kitchen Ice Cream & Sorbet
Posted in Sweets on Jul 16th, 2010
Yippee!! I know that’s not very professional, but that’s how I feel. My friend and fellow food blogger (extraordinaire), Robin Damstra, has launched her own artisanal ice cream business, Half Pint Kitchen Ice Cream and Sorbet. If you enjoy her exquisite blog, Caviar and Codfish, and photos, imagine what she’ll do with ice cream. Well, you [...]
Goodnoe Farm Dairy Bar- the famous Goodnoe’s ice cream of Newtown – is celebrating their first anniversary since reopening last year. In case you missed the story, the next generation of Goodnoes, brother and sister Colin and Kendall, reopened this landmark last July 17th after a two-year break. The new store started with the 12 original flavors, [...]
AAGGH. I have to admit, that’s what I’m feeling right now. We are fortunate to have my whole family in visiting this week – and have beautiful weather – from parts far and wide: England, California, Miami and…Newtown (that would be my parents). So I don’t have much time to blog this weekend. But there is a lot [...]
The Lucky Cupcake Company, a new bakery in Plumsteadville, is finally fulled baked, you could say. We peered in the windows a couple of months ago after breakfast at Groveland’s Grill only to be disappointed. Jesse Berdinka at Chubby’s Dairy Barn had told me about the bakery right around the corner from his ice cream [...]
Tidbit: Town Crier Bakery
Posted in Sweets on Mar 31st, 2010
Nice article in yesterday’s Intelligencer on Kerry and Roseann Burns, who own and run the Town Crier Bakery in Lahaska. Roseann and I have gotten to know each other through Facebook, of all places, where she insists on putting up delectable photos of the bakery’s creations that make me salivate. Another good place to go [...]
Easter cookies
Posted in Sweets on Mar 30th, 2010
Easter confections always look so good – so spring-like and colorful. I probably don’t need to tell you where to buy your candy and sweets, but Kim Laughlin, a.k.a. The Cookie Lady, recently reached out to tell me about her creations. I’ll have to do a post on her in the future, but this photo [...]

I feel a need to apologize for the lightness of my online presence these past few days. I’ve been pulling together our taxes. Ugh. Should be done today and I’ll send it off to the accountant. And I’m not posting this just to prove to the IRS that Bucks County Taste exists, and is worth some [...]

Weekend Eats in Bucks County
Posted in Events, Farms, Restaurants, Sweets, Vineyards, Breweries and Bars on Aug 28th, 2009
The forecast may not be sunny this weekend, but it is cooler and things are still happening. Kind of a relief after all the heat and humidity, and a nice taste of fall. Alert to any backyard farmers currently overrun with tomatoes, zucchinis and squashes. Carousel Gardens, on Route 413/Durham Road just north of Newtown, [...]
Tidbits: Ice Cream at the Sundae School
Posted in Sweets on Aug 20th, 2009
It sounds like every child’s fantasy on an early summer day, stuck in a hot, sticky classroom. The school becomes an ice cream parlor. That’s basically what happened at the Sundae School, a former one-room schoolhouse in Hilltown, that was converted to – praise the heavens above – an ice cream shop by Jean Hasyn. [...]
