Warming up at the Yardley Inn

By On January 27, 2011 · 2 Comments

Eben Copple loves food. And whisky. And, come to think of it, wine, beer and interesting cocktails. He loves the tastes and the possibilities. I guess this shouldn’t come as a surprise, Eben being the chef of the Yardley Inn since July 2007, where he’s been updating the menu with local food and [...]

CSAs: It’s like having your own farm

By On March 17, 2010 · 8 Comments

As I sit here writing, appropriately in my kitchen, I look out into my backyard and see the buds on the rhododendron. It’s sunny – for a change – and I’m seeing lots of green. I’m quite amazed, in fact, at the amount of green – chartreuse, really – that I see on my neighbors’ [...]

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.

July 4th – National Barbecue Day?

By On July 2, 2009 · 2 Comments

Actually, no. It turns out that May is National Barbecue Month. I guess there was some other major event being celebrated on July 4th so they decided it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Not many major food events happening this weekend but that’s okay. It seems an American tradition to have cook-outs on July 4th with family [...]

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 [...]

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.

It’s a little soggy right now out in our local strawberry fields but the next week or so may be your last chance to eat these wonderful strawberries so get out there as soon as the sun pops back out.

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 [...]

Yardley’s Charcoal Steaks N’Things

By On March 28, 2009 · 1 Comment

Directly across from the Delaware River in Yardley is Charcoal Steaks N’Things, a bright steakhouse that is truly family style in a way chain steakhouses only claim to be.

First thing to know: This is a BYOB place. It’s not big on décor – it feels kind of like a new Perkins, without the kitsch. [...]
