I have to admit something. Just a couple of weeks ago I was worried that food events were going to slow down towards the holidays. I know that seems counter-intuitive – I mean, sometimes that seems the main activity this time of year – but not a lot was showing up for the calendar. But, [...]

Ah…the wine. Forget arguments over whether to put the mini-marshmallows on the sweet potatoes, lately the real struggle is about which wine to serve at Thanksgiving. Bring something big, red and cheap? Or a “good” bottle that you really want to sit back and enjoy because – hey, it’s a holiday and you’ve got time [...]

Mark and I have become cheerleaders for Bucks County wine. And, yes, we DO know what good wine tastes like. In fact, we are a bit picky about what we drink. I know my New World wines quite well, and have been getting to know the Italians much better. But we’d like all of our [...]

I feel SO seasonal. What I thought was just a cold has turned nasty – hard coughs, fever, and aches all over. Isn’t this a little early for flu? Yikes. Luckily Mark is now home from his business trip and my wonderful Jewish mother dropped off chicken soup yesterday. 10/23/09 UPDATE: It’s pnuemonia. What fun. [...]

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, is [...]

I don’t want anyone to think I’ve been slacking off since we published the first installment of Bars We Like back in April. The challenge of this column, I’ve found, isn’t the research, but the fact that once we find a place that meets our criteria – which includes good people, good food, reasonable prices, [...]

It’s been a busy week. We were thrilled at the wonderful article this past Wednesday by Betty Cichy in the Bucks County Courier Times /Intelligencer about Bucks County Taste. We were even more blown away by the site “hits” we got. Those of you who checked us out for the first time – thank you, thank [...]

My apologies for posting the weekend events so late. Between some technical difficulties with the website (we’ve switched servers) and dealing with Lyme’s Disease (I am dragging), I’m behind. And I simply can’t believe it is August already! Probably the heat and humidity isn’t helping either.
We hope to get to the Farm Tour Potluck sponsored by the Bucks [...]

At the Linden Hill Farmers’ Market, Chef David Zuckerman of Earl’s Bucks County (formerly Earl’s Prime) will be preparing market items on the [...]
