On the low end it would have to be the AB&G in Allendale if only for the buffalo shrimp Gazelle in Ridgewood is simple clean foods and a nice setting and I have to agree with Latour...although the first time I looked at their menu I left confused...Foie du Brik tried El Cid in Paramus last night ...to die for cream of shrimp soup, very good seafood in spanish sauce, dry paella....huge portions, fair prices tracey

today I made a crumble that unbuckled my diet and made me slump...actually I dont even know what to call what I made anymore ....melted butter, cake batter and fresh sliced peaches baked for ever ..at least 75 min to firm up all the way....but it was damned tasty especially compared to mom's costco pudding pie.... oh yeah I baked it in a glass pan ...no wonder it took so long tracey

Interesting topic...since yesterday was my 4th anniversary...My reception wasnt untill a week after the wedding and all things considered thinking back to this date 4 yrs ago all went well....except the reception didnt include "my" cake...my baker was stuck in Vegas...mumsie found me a replacement cake from someone that cancelled their reception...it wasnt very good i think we ate it all though. For our 5th I am going to order a scaled down version of the original design and throw a party. tracey

Welches Strawberry soda....havent seen it in 20 yrs in NJ....found some at a gas station in VA monday....should have left it there but seriously isnt finding local or "missing" foods a great part of traveling

Just for giggles I emailed the restaurant and told them I enjoyed myself soooo much that I ordered "a number" of Rest.com certs for myself and friends....but had just read they no longer take them..."what do I do now?" lets see what happens T aaahhh mail returned fatel flaws...... linked from the website

I gave those delectable shrimp a shot tonight...didnt have enough worchestershire subbed a little Maggi and simmered some shrimp shells in there to bulk up the flavor...hot paprika instead of sweet ...the moths dont like the hot...damn tasty all around though tracey

I used one for shrink wrapping gift baskets...we wont discuss what those burns look like T

and they lived happily ever after ...oh wait wrong story Now we cant leave out Miss Cheryl who wouldnt come to a Pig Pickin in anything less than her finest pearls and we cant forget Karen trying to vaccume the flies away from our wonderful buffet and the crowd moving in for the hush puppies line up now no ditching I think I ate too much Ok I'm done and done in gonna do it again someday right tracey

After waking up sunday afternoon we rode back to Deans to see what we could do, menial tasks at best a little put this here put that there. Then it came time for the actually pickin, shredding, and hacking.....and the flies ooops first was the Chicken then the pork shoulders came off the grill then the flies.....as we gather to swat them, fanning Dean in the process if Yan Can ...Dean Can too A little help is on the way more??? theres always more tracey

1089.2 miles and 57 hours later we Survived the Second Occasional Varmint's Pig Pickin'. And on to the show I would love to show what was for dinner saturday night but ....uh it was gone...tasty too.

I just noticed something in the Mexio forum about cheese making, and the use of rennet......does that make a cheese not kosher? It is essentially dropping meat into milk...? tracey

I got a real kick out of this one. My objection to Mexican food (second to the hotness) is that they serve not TWO starches but THREE at a time: beans, rice and tortillas. But perhaps they don't do this so much in Mexico? ← I was just thinking about this "Mexican" habit a few days ago when I was deciding weather or not to get bread to go with dinner....spaghetti...now before the low carb mental assualt this would have been a no brainer....of course you serve bread with macaroni....at least in NJ.....and yes in my house tomato sauce is a vegetable tracey

Marlene I dont have a laptop but I could bring the USB cables...even have a cable to plug a camera into a TV or VCR...I now have my last vacation pictures on every modern media available. I think we're coming...I may need a daisy...we go, we dont go, we go, we dont go tracey

the creepy little luncheonett in Ringwood serves em...they even put them on egg sandwiches....thats a little far though t

I try to use the produce bags from the market ....but i really just wish I could leave the lid off the can and fling things like at work ....but we have nosey dogs lid must stay on......and there isnt an "underemployed guy" at home to sweep up after me like in the kitchen at work. T

I always wished Kraft would just sell the cheeze goo or powder....I like it on my broccoli ...but dont use frozen vegetables

I just had to pin the Child down for a min and she sent me here...http://www.theppk.com/recipes/ all through school she was driving me crazy looking for vegan snacks to bring to parties....uhhhh take the bag of edamame.....and some good salt ... tracey she says she feels bad that you havent had great vegan desserts because they are out there...
