  1. I just read about Pasco in Bonjour Paris. Any experience, anyone? corinne
  2. I just called the Bernard's Inn, but they stop serving at eight. We want to go from dinner to midnight Mass in Basking Ridge. Now I am thinking about Tre Vigne. Any other suggestions? Corinne
  3. where is allendale? corinne
  4. The segments that had the most impact on me were: 1) The school for problem kids that saw many of the behavioral issues disappear when a healthy diet was set in place. As a nutritionist myself, I am right now looking at the food records of a 10 year old boy who refuses all foods but pancakes, pizza, hamburgers, cereal and other white starches. His parents report that he is moody and extremelely fatigued. These SAD (standard American diet) diets are almost completely lacking in plant-based antioxidants and essential fatty acids necessary for optimal brain function and mood. If only he were the exception rather than the rule! He is SKINNY right now, the obesity and diabetes may well follow in 20 years 2) The man waiting for a gastric bypass stating that he routinely drank 3 2-liter bottles of soda each day (his wife drank one). i turned the film off at that point, completely depressed. Yes, I agree that Spurlock's weight gain and downturn in labs could well happen to anyone who stuffed themselves to the point of vomiting for a month straight. The indictment of McDonald's in all this is just one piece of the puzzle of why the developed world is getting fat and diabetic.
  5. Growing up in Bayside, Queens we would spend many summer days at Jones Beach West End 2 with a group of friends. Since none of us had money for lunch we would enter the food court, eat whatever we could and pay for maybe a hotdog among us all.
  6. I am floored when people insist on bringing something and then it is an abominable cake from the A&P or they bring food that is in various stages of completion, asking for the ingredients necessary to finish it!
  7. Therestaurant in the Seneca glass factory is The Glass House - horrid food as I mentioned above. The Blue Moose is the breakfast place that I couldn't remember - I ate there every morning after discovering it.
  8. I was in Morgantown in mid Sept visiting my son at WVU. Unfortunately, I have more "steer clear of" ideas than recommendations. The Glass House is the place everyone seems to recommend for "fine dining" - it is awful and pricey. There's a little place in what looks like a converted furniture showroom across the street from the Hotel Morgan. I think it's called Madeline's and the food was OK to good on my two visits. There's a breakfast place around the corner from that hotel - can't remember the name. Weak coffee but good food.
  9. I live in Long Valley and work in Bedminster, but travel to NYC weekly specifically to food shop(Union Square Greenmarket, Fairway, H& H bagels always on my route) The last time I shopped at Wegmans we managed to spend an insane amount of money on bad produce, mediocre bakery products and very good meat and fish. Sadly, there are no excellent food market, greenmarkets or restaurants in this area (leaving aside special occasion humdingers like Ryland Inn, Bernards Inn or Le Petit Chateau). Any suggestions on places I might've missed?
