Oh, oh, oh. It looks like another great weekend here in Bucks County. Mark is looking forward to sanding and painting our little boat, but me…as usual I’m thinking about food. There are MANY firehouse breakfasts and dinners going on this weekend, so here’s your chance to try one if you haven’t already. Or sign [...]

I think I’ve learned something interesting in the last few months while writing for Bucks County Taste . “Local” means different things to different people. We all tend to get very comfortable living within a pretty narrow geographical area. Grocery store, school, work, family, friends, a few local restaurants we go to over and over [...]

Our apologies for being so quiet this week. Maybe it’s the rain. Anyway, looks like the sogginess will stop in time for Mother’s Day, so take her out, or buy some food and cook for a change! (I should talk.) Here’s a round-up of some of the food stuff happening. Check out our online calendar, [...]
