Has anyone else tried the new Lunds/Byerly’s store brand of gelato imported from Italy? I tried the Caramel Cream (with toasted almonds) and Dark Chocolate flavors and was very impressed ... creamy textures, rich flavors,...

Sand dabs – Citharychtis sordidus Rex sole – Errex zachirus I like old fashioned sand dabs. Chez Jay - get the sand dabs and only the sand dabs, rest of the menu is bad. Have it with a bloody mary. If they have green...

How often does national pie day fall on a rainy weekend...I’m inspired! I’m thinking of a spinach/feta pie, like spanakopita as a casserole not a sweet one. My cupboard is full of dates, raisins, walnuts, almonds,...

Sniffle Whimper It can’t be. Eiger Ice Cream.. it’s.. it’s.. GONE FOREVER! Still can’t believe it. Had the best bowl of Mocha Almond Fudge ever at that cantankerous old man’s grubby little parlor....

I use Maida Heatter’s recipe for Almond and Chocolate Chip Biscotti and everyone loves it. It doesn’t call for butter and the cookies come out hard but not that crumbly. I don’t know how authentic the recipe is...
