Bringing up the rear as always (I was supposed to post this yesterday, but procrastinator that I am, once again I’m a day late and a dollar short), just let me preface this rant by saying: I officially *hate* Martha Stewart.
Lucky enough to be accepted as one of the lovely and talented Daring Bakers, I […]
In my quest to eat healthier, I’ve been trying to use more Cooking Light recipes - and at the same time, I’m trying to clear out my overfilled fridge, freezer, and pantry. So instead of making mashed potatoes with this (since we had no potatoes), I made spaetzle instead, and served it with some sauteed […]
I had an enjoyable (3+ hour!) brunch this weekend with Rosie and Lisa, over at Zen Cha Tea Salon on High Street in the Short North. I’m not much of a tea drinker, so I stuck with a known quantity - bubble tea. This one is green strawberry bubble tea with milk and extra tapioca […]
Actually, more like a mini-review - since I plan on going back to enjoy their sit-down menu as well; let’s just consider this a separate review of their take-out sushi.
I’ll be up front with you all. For the most part, I’m pretty meh about sushi. I’ll eat it, with a good dousing of soy sauce, […]
I was pretty exhausted by the time I got off the plane yesterday, so rather than go home and cook, I suggested to my husband that we stop in somewhere to eat. I missed him dearly and wanted time to catch up, and also because I was craving something with a bit more panache and […]
When I asked for cheese steak recommendations, I consistently got two answers - Crown Market (reviewed here) and Main Liquor. While I kind of was already aware of the former, the latter was truly a surprise to me. After driving by and seeing a sign outside that said “Voted Best Cheesesteak in 2005″, I knew […]
After the underwhelming filled pasta at Larry’s II failed to sate my craving for Italian food, I had avoided eating Italian all weekend in order to save my appetite for what I thought would be an ideal compromise - the Monday Pizza & Pasta buffet at the Five Points Inn. Their web site indicated that […]
After a long day of travel yesterday, I am finally back at home in Ohio. While I did thoroughly enjoy my visit to New Jersey, I am so happy to be back - living out of a hotel room and eating take out every meal for a week gets very old very quick. Although the […]
Rather than stay in Vineland today, I took a little trip to Millville, a small town right next to Vineland. While Vineland is very diverse and ethnic, Millville is home to mostly blue-collar working stiffs, most of whom are employed at the city’s glass factories.
Jim’s Lunch is a Millville institution, having been around for over […]
I had held off going to Esposito’s Maplewood III, even though its menu sounds divine, because of a misguided assumption that I would need to dress up to go there. But my desire for seafood outweighed my desire to fit in, and my sister and I decided that “Family Day” would be the perfect opportunity […]
