We spent a long weekend in Kentucky, tasting good bourbon and visiting distilleries. What fun! But we are very glad to be in our ‘Old Bucks Home’ (sorry, Stephen Foster). I had forgotten just how much fried, salty food there is in the South. I know they must have fresh vegetables and fruit – it [...]

Congratualtions to Crossing Vineyards and Winery for a first place mention in the New York Times Travel section. The blog post is about up-and-coming Pennsylvania wines. We knew it. Now everyone else does! Read the article – click here.
It’s been too beautiful to sit at the computer the last two days, so I’ve been a bit of a laggard. I spent this morning cleaning up the yard and planting some new herbs I got yesterday from Chuck Rekemeier, who owns Town & Country Greenhouses in Pineville. Chuck’s greenhouse is on Fairview Farm, out [...]

Although summer doesn’t officially start until June 21st, can I have a raise of hands that it’s pretty much here? Woo. I hate having the air conditioning on but we have two princesses in the house – my schnauzer and, well, me. So the weather forecast for this weekend is typical summer – hot, humid [...]

I was running around doing my errands last Saturday. At the spur of the moment, I decided to drop in at The Copper Leaf Grill in Buckingham Greene. I wanted to introduce myself to the new chef and owner, Dominic Vigilante (the spot was previously Just Eat by BrownGold). But I got a double treat. [...]

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 [...]
While Mark and I are busy with family this weekend (sister in from England, brother in from California) we will unfortunately be missing some great local stuff happening. Check this out… The 7th Annual “A Taste of Lambertville” is taking place tonight at the Lambertville Rescue Squad Banquet Hall. Come taste signature dishes from the [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
