Sorry for inverting “NAME” and “SUBJECT” in previous post . . . Just back from a weekend of cross country skiing (and then, guiltless eating) in the White Mountains. Coyote Rose, North Conway. Had a truly...

It has, and like Janet, I usually have another choice I can pick. If a restaurant runs out of REGULAR items on the menu (items they know the popularity of) I’d be very disappointed in that they didn’t gauge quantities...

I do the occasional cross-border shopping trip. What’s a cross-border adventure without a stop at a Wegmans grocery store. As I was at the gym this morning watching an episode of Rachel Ray (sorry – it was the only...

I am suprised that there was no mention of cheese here! If you are going to eat Trail Bologna you must eat it with Holmes County Baby Swiss Cheese. Of all of the claims to fame in Amish Country, the cheese is where it’s at!...

Darioush on the Silverado Trail is a beautiful winery with a lovely tasting room and good wine. We started there and then drove up to Yountville Cross to go to Cliff Lede. This was my favorite winery when it was S. Anderson. They...

As the economy continues to challenge my residence in the bay area, I find myself wanting to see and experience (at least in part) the wine country. As is always the case, a few personal complications repeatedly keep me away and...

Tee - I’m heading to Chas for the Bridge Run, and as such want a Fri night meal that has some pasta involved, not too much fat. How does Fulton Five compare with Il Cortile de Re? Otherwise, Garibaldi’s is my usual...

Hi Chowhounds, We’re a thirty-ish city mouse couple from Ottawa and we’ll be meeting our country mouse friends in Toronto, March 18-21 for a weekend of stellar food and beer consumption. We’re staying around King...

Love the sound of that slow country boil. Love all of that FLA seafood, so good when we’re down there. Not often enough, according to my parents and m-i-l. But flying 4 cross-country twice is a lot of hassle, rather they...

I lived in Italy for seventeen years. I can’t imagine cooking without a few herbs and a bit of wine. Why even ciambelle (doughnuts) often have a bit of white wine in them. I think I mentally crossed country fried steaks...

Beaches (where it runs into the PCH bike trail). You can see a map centered on the HB/NPB end of the trail here: http://tinyurl.com/sart-hb — just follow the river north and east all the way through Featherly Regional Park...

got longish, flat layers of vegetable, rather than the more traditional cross-wise cut, which somehow doesn’t provide the same texture. The grilled vegetables that came with the sausage dish were really good too; done just...

. Also in Sonoma is The Cheesemakers Daughter which is run by the owners of Vella Cheese (also recommended). Sonoma Market is a must stop for picnic supplies. Most of the major area bakeries are represented there. They have a...

around in. I’d also make time to visit the Becker Winery near Fredericksburg. Hill Country has something of a "wine trail" now, but Becker is by far the best. They produce a number of award-winning wines.

If I were to walk into the bakeries of Eastern Europe, what sort of bagels will I find? Sorry if this is inappropriate for General Topics, but it seems like a cross-regional discussion. If you have knowledge of modern day bagels...
