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, [...]

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 [...]

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

If all the lovely veggies now showing up at local farmers’ markets don’t do it for you (??), here’s a Philadelphia Daily News article that highlights some delectable drinks you can make with local ingredients. That should motivate you to get out to the farmers’ market. Here’s a couple of items that caught my eye [...]

It’s hot and humid as I write this. I guess summer is finally here. No more squeaking by with this lovely San Diego-type weather we’ve been enjoying. I’ve been telling everyone that it will continue to be a cooler summer, and we are taking credit for it. Why? Because we recently installed two new air [...]

Finally! A good weekend forecast. Or should I not jinx it? As usual, lots of good things happening this weekend. I think the Linden Hill Farmers’ Market, which just opened at the end of May, has had the most rainy days. So, please, go check them out, Fridays from 3:30 to 7:30 pm in Ottsville. Crossing [...]

By guest blogger Emily Trostle Reasonably priced food? Beer that is brewed on-site to complement the menu? I’m there. And the Porterhouse Restaurant and Brew Pub in Lahaska fits the bill. The beer vats are the first thing you see as you step into this cozy restaurant. Coming around the corner into the dining area, [...]

There was a persistent brightness in the sky today. I think it’s called “sun.” And there is brightness in the forecast for this weekend, although with some clouds and occasional thunderstorms. Be not intimidated. Go forth, eat and drink, and enjoy the bounty of Bucks County. Lots of stuff going on, more than we can [...]

Even more tedious than the constant rain is talking about the constant rain. So, with a typical summer forecast for this weekend – chance of thunderstorms – let’s move on. Time to take Dad out for some fun this weekend – and food and wine. There are three venues doing wine-related events this weekend. On [...]

I have traveled far and wide, to exotic places like California, Missouri and, even New Jersey, and I have seen alcoholic beverages sold in supermarkets. Yes, yes, it’s true. And, now, here in Pennsylvania we can see it too. Yet another reason to be grateful for Wegmans. According to a recent article in the Intelligencer, [...]
