Chubby’s Dairy Barn, the popular ice cream hang-out in Plumsteadville, has kicked it up a notch, introducing this season, Chubby’s Reserve, a line of their own recipe, take-home ice cream.

If you’re a fan of [...]

Signs of spring

By On March 12, 2010 · Leave a Comment

For some, it’s robins, tweeting in the garden. For others, it’s little snowdrop flowers poking their heads up between the ivy. For us, we know it’s spring in two ways. First, by the increase in joggers and bikers going up and down our street. Followed by the furious, indignant barking of our miniature Schnauzer, Canta (Cody, [...]

A winter weekend in Bucks

By On January 29, 2010 · 4 Comments

It may be cold, and it may still be winter for awhile (unless the groundhog tells us differently next week), but there are still lots of reasons to leave home and eat this weekend.

For starters, The Lambertville-New Hope Winter Festival, now in it’s 12th year is in full swing. I won’t go into great [...]

A cool, crisp November weekend

By On November 6, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a “weekend run-down.” But I’m finally feeling more myself and getting over (fingers crossed) this pneumonia. Mark, however, has bronchitis. My family has started referring to our home as “Plague City.” Lovely.

But there is so much fun stuff going on this weekend that I simply had to [...]

Let’s go for ice cream

By On July 14, 2009 · 17 Comments

Everyone has their favorite ice cream place. Usually it’s local, and maybe because it’s associated with sweetness and warm summer evenings, people tend to be fiercely loyal.

That’s why we are not going to rate ice cream purveyors in Bucks County (ha!), or even attempt to be comprehensive in our list. But for those of [...]

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.

Cool Jazz, Strawberries and Even a Pig Roast

By On June 11, 2009 · Leave a Comment

This is what they call a British summer. Rain, cool temperatures, with the sun popping out every now and then just to tease you. The really annoying part is that according to my sister, England is getting our summer weather right now. It’s just not fair. Even the farmers are getting tired of this weather.

Reprise: Rain, Rain Go Away…In Time For The Weekend

By On June 5, 2009 · Leave a Comment

My apologies for getting the weekend run-down up so late. Blame it on a “weak” signal from Comcast. [Yes, I actually lived a day without internet access…and survived. The nervous tic should go away in a day or so.]

But I had a fun afternoon yesterday interviewing Patty and Brian Gianfelice at Pasqualina’s Italian [...]

By On May 13, 2009 · 4 Comments

Impulse Turn #2 almost gave us whiplash the first time we saw the sign. There, right on Route 611 in Pipersville. “Oink Johnson’s Southern BBQ?”

It took some time for us to get back but last Sunday we did. And we are very happy to have this new addition to the Bucks County food [...]
