summary

I’m back from Des Moines and I think pictures speak louder than words…. this was my week in food. the white stuff on the right of this plate is “waldorf salad” which had FLUFF and mini marshmellows in it… umm not exactly what I was expecting… something green lurks below… could that be LETTUCE?? by […]

the catskill kiwi heads to the mid west

Howdi all, I’m on location all this week out in Des Moines, Iowa, for work.  This kiwi has lived in the good ole USA for about 17 years, but only on Nantucket Island and the island of Manhattan, two places that aren’t really similar to the rest of American.  So it should be a bit […]

post birthday

Of course it mostly centered around food, but we did manage to get in a little bit of exercise, between courses that is! french toast with strawberries, to kick off the day then a walk in one of the many beautiful Catskill mountain state parks and trails, followed by pizza at Oakley’s Place on Route […]

cheesybite

Yip it’s a new product those crazy Australians have come up with,  a cockamamie combination of cream cheese and […]

bbq

The township of Roxbury can now boast it has four restaurants, not much else, the gas station, PO, laundromat all have their place but we only just recently discovered CHA CHA HUT BBQ on Bridge St, Roxbury.  In the name of “investigative reporting” Mr Weiss and I dove head first into smoked mac & cheese, […]
