We are now entering February and legend has it if the chef’s groundhog sees its shadow, we have six more weeks of comfort cooking to look forward to. What exactly is comfort cooking? And no it is not wearing sweats in the kitchen. Comfort foods are those old reliable dishes that hit the spot when… Read more »
It is December 23rd – 0730 hours. I’ll be riding along with Officer Tony today at 0800 hours (that’s police talk for 8 a.m.) to get a glimpse of what a day in the life of a police officer in Cape May is like. Meanwhile, I have about 12,000 presents piled up in the closet… Read more »
A Jersey boy’s travels to culinary school and back again and other stories from the dark side of the restaurant. As ’05 winds down and ’06 dawns with anticipation and hopes that only a new year brings, my mind wanders (an all too frequent occurrence). ’06 is a milestone year for me. It marks the… Read more »
My assignment? To offer you, our readers a picture postcard of what it is like here in Cape May during the holiday season. I, for one, would love to know what the inside of a B&B looks like at Christmas. Anyone coming into town can see the exterior but only a select few get a… Read more »

Then I got to thinking, if I suddenly found myself in the Cape May version of Valhalla (the hall for slain heroes), who would I invite to share Thanksgiving dinner with… Read more »
Have you ever thought about becoming an innkeeper? I have. I rejected the impulse for three reasons. An innkeeper must be friendly, which I’m not. An innkeeper must like having strangers about the house, which I don’t. And most important of all, the life of the innkeeper is more often than not a 24-7 proposition,… Read more »
The dictionary defines persnickety as; fussy about small details, overly particular about trivial details, requiring great precision and snobbish. The chill is in the air and you can actually find a place to park in Cape May. Fall is here and one of my favorite holidays approaches. Thanksgiving, a holiday built around food. Around 385… Read more »
