A Different Take On Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in our family was, as it was for many of us, quite different this year. Our family decided not to travel. Since it was only going to be our immediate family, we felt that some of the pressure to have a traditional meal was alleviated. It did not...

Chicken With Noodles and Vegetables in Ginger Broth

When I look at a soup there are two main things I look for. They are: One, what is in the soup? Is it noodle soup or is it butternut squash soup? Then, depending on what’s in it maybe I’ll have some. ...

The Ritz Diner

My omelet was clearly not from a dairy farm. There was no cheese inside. It was also served with the vegetables mixed into the eggs, rather than served in between the folded layers. It was more of a frittata. ...

Wild Ginger

The food is so good that they should put a sign out front that says, “Beware of food coma”. ...
