  • Divalicious Chocolate! Café closing

    Divalicious Chocolate! is restructuring. We are keeping the chocolate tastings and events, the chocolate-fountain rentals and our online store, but we are closing our brick-and-mortar retail store effective immediately. We had fun but the economy and the landlord made it a lot less fun! So we are happily closing and look forward to doing lots more fun stuff with chocolate and more in the future.

  • Dia:Beacon works of eat

    We visited the Dia Museum in Beacon, New York, yesterday. Favorite works of art: Richard Serra’s Torqued Ellipses and Sol Lewitt’s Wall Drawings. I want to live inside Serra’s works, paint the interiors white and draw all over the walls like Lewitt.

    My favorite works of eat were from Homespun Foods on Main Street in Beacon.

  • Eating up Asbury Park

    We had a ball in Asbury Park this past Saturday with friends. The boardwalk’s renaissance seems to be on the upswing in spite of the economy and the damp start to the season. Sandwiched between the reviving the Asbury Park Convention Hall on one end of the board walk and the Asbury Park Casino (where a scene from “The Wrestler” was shot) on the other is lots of upmarket and interesting food places, shops, bars and FUN!!! We almost skipped lunch to jump the fence and play under the giant hose, watering can and more in the Asbury Water Park, but we didn’t have the obligatory child to get us in.

  • Fancy Food Show ’09: I can’t believe I ate the whole thing

    When it comes right down to it the Fancy Food Show (FFS) is not pretty or easy. Three days of tasting, even doing just three hours per day, is hard work! My new system of eating only savory food for the first two hours and doubling back for the sweet stuff for the last hour worked really well, but by the end of second day my buds and my dogs were B-E-A-T! and I had yet to set foot upstairs.

    The next morning I was toast. Is there such thing as a food hangover? Or was it wine flu from the foodparty.com event the night before? Duty called so I dragged myself back for the love of cheese and smoked, fried, cured, marinated pork products that was my day three and it seemed to “cure” whatever was ailing me. Last night, I had a huge salad to ward off the scurvy and today I bring you my fancy food finds (if not necessarily faves).
