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 [...]
This just published in the Wine Spectator over the weekend. Oh, could it be? Pennsylvanians could go to wineries in California and elsewhere, and not be embarrassed when they ask if they can ship something home? Thanks to Robert Taylor for the reporting on what’s going on in Pennsylvania and seven other states, including Maryland [...]
As spring starts to pop all around us and memories of winter fade, my appetite yearns for fresh, locally grown vegetables. We’re fortunate here, in that with a little help from hoop houses and green houses, local farms are starting to offer the first crops of the growing season.
We can also enjoy the fruits [...]
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 [...]
I know, I know. I haven’t always been kind to the Pa Liquor Control Board, but occasionally they do something right. And sometimes quite puzzling. But that’s part of the fun, isn’t it?
Here’s the good part. Did you know that you can go onto the PLCB’s website, www.finewineandgoodspirits.com and literally find which [...]
by guest blogger Kyle Park,
Washington Crossing is the historic area of Pennsylvania where George Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River on Christmas night with a surprise attack on the Hessian troops in 1776. Over the years the grounds have been preserved and protected but lately the organizations that do so [...]
Spring, spring, spring! At the risk of bringing on a March snowstorm, I am thrilled to welcome signs of spring. What are they – in food terms? Read on.
Spring holidays. Lenten Fish Fry suppers start at several locations today – the Riegelsville Fire Co. and the Columbia Fire Co. in [...]
It’s sunny and just a tad warmer (mid-40′s…yippee!), so we can kind of pretend Spring is just around the corner, right?
As I peruse the food events for this week, a couple of things pop out at me. Lots of wine and beer tastings! Who knew? And for free, so go for it. Barrel Tapping [...]
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 [...]
As someone who doesn’t pay attention to sports until baseball’s opening day in April, this Superbowl thing doesn’t mean much to me. Oh sure, we might get invited to a Superbowl party, with lots of fun eats, but even then…
Then I got this email from Tastings and Tours, the Bucks County-based tour [...]
Need I say more? I think we are all feeling this way, tired of looking at the mounds of white stuff surrounding our homes. The roads are clear and dry and the weather looks pretty decent. Oh, yeah, there’s some “snow showers” in the forecast but after this week – ha! What’s a coupla’ stinkin’ [...]
It’s a new year, and surprisingly I’m in a good mood about it. I usually burrow in this time of year, grumbling about the cold and longing for the appearance of spring vegetables and baseball season. Allow me one last look at 2010, however, as we celebrate positive food trends in our neck of [...]
By now you are probably tired of seeing these retrospective articles, one critic’s opinion of the best and worst of 2010. It does seem obligatory this time of year. So here’s one more…
When I started thinking of what I might write to review the local food scene in Bucks County, I thought mostly of [...]
Oh my. What can I say, that the LCB can’t say better? “Customer satisfaction…remains high”?? Let’s just stand by the sidelines and watch…
Here’s the news release from the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board on the latest Pronto Wine Kiosk fiasco, just in time for the holidays. [...]
Not sure what to get someone, but you want it to be unique? Look no further than Bucks County. Here’s a few local businesses that are putting together some pretty cool gift baskets.
The Kitchen Potager sits on the Linden Hill Gardens property in Ottsville. Kristen Perry is the proprietor and [...]
