Saratoga Garlic
As I mentioned the other week, the Boston Wine Expo isn’t just about wine. There are many tasty snacks and sweets to sample, which makes the expo a well-rounded culinary delight.
On day two of our visit to the expo we discovered several wonderful, new-to-us foods. The first was a decadent sweet, Wheeler’s Black Label Sorbets. The second was a wonderful balance to this treat, Saratoga Garlic. As their name suggests, this company sells pickled garlic and a line of aiolis.
Saratoga Garlic was formed fifteen years ago in Saratoga Springs, New York, at Homestead View Farm, which is…
The Vegan Scoop
Attending the Boston Wine Expo isn’t just about the wine. Sure, there are hundreds of wineries that attend, but there are also quite a few food vendors there as well. So, in addition to getting to sample many different wines, you also get to sample some interesting foods. On the second day of the expo, I got to sample the most delicious treat of the weekend.
While meandering through the aisles at the expo that day, I discovered Wheeler’s Black Label Vegan Ice Cream. It was…

Introducing Think Tasty
Since June 2007, Tasty Thoughts has been the home to recipes, restaurant reviews, and much more from the world of food. It has gained a core group of regular readers and has allowed me to share my inner foodie. However, I have heard from many people that having a “.info” URL made this site harder to find.
So, in order to allow more people to find us, Tasty Thoughts has become Think Tasty (http://www.thinktasty.com/). Although the name has changed, almost everything else has stayed the same. All of our recipes and reviews from Tasty Thoughts are housed at the…
True Nut Company
I learned about this interesting nut company thanks to one of my writers, John, who attended the Wicked Wine & Brew Fest. Based in Keene, New Hampshire, True Nut Company combines creativity, support for community service organizations, and cooking.
With the help of my video editor, Greg Cote, I was able to interview Steve Ryder, the creator of True Nut.

Kauai Coffee
Last fall my husband and I enjoyed a two week honeymoon on the islands of Kauai and Maui. While on 
Kauai, we toured the Kauai Coffee Estate. We enjoyed a self-narrated tour of the orchards and were able to sample many varieties of their coffee at the visitors’ center.
As both of us appreciate a good cup of coffee, we were hooked on their brew instantly! Conveniently, Kauai Coffee has a coffee club available, which was perfect because we only could fit a few bags of…
Thanksgiving Review
Our Thanksgiving was quite enjoyable. My husband and I spent the morning cooking and working at a 
leisurely pace. Arriving at our friends’ house just before noon, we completed the cooking of appetizers immediately, as everyone was hungry. Both the Spiced Cauliflower and Baby Pears with Goat Cheese were hits. In fact, my husband thought the pears were the best dish of the day.
After our hors d’oeurves course, we continued work on the dinner dishes and placed the turkey in the oven for the late…
Thanksgiving '08
This year’s Thanksgiving is much quieter than last year’s. Last year, we had approximately 20 people at our home for a traditional dinner. We made turkey, duck, cornbread stuffing, Parker House rolls, and much more. It was a 2-day cooking event.
This year we won’t have any kids with us, as both sets are with their other parents. It will be just my husband, myself, and our best friends. As there are only adult palates to please, we have chosen a more gourmet and unique Thanksgiving menu.
Being the foodies, my husband and I have offered to cook the meal. Both of…
Review: The Georgia House, Laurel, Delaware
Scattered throughout the United States are local restaurants that take a different tact on their menu. One of the great things for me is going to these local haunts and trying things that you don’t normally find on every menu. One such place that I went to recently with my parents was The Georgia House Restaurant in Laurel, Delaware.
The restaurant is quaintly situated on the banks of a river and has a large deck for people that choose to enjoy the outdoor feel. Considering we were visiting during the remnants of Hurricane Hanna, we decided to eat…
Teavana – A Place for the Senses
My beautiful bride and I were celebrating our first weekend without kids in almost three months by taking Saturday and doing some leisurely shopping. We strolled around looking for a new fireplace, some clothes, and other odds and ends, but what we had not anticipated buying was a new way to make tea. That all changed when we saw a new shop, Teavana, in the Rockingham Mall in Salem, New Hampshire.
The nouveau looking shop drew us in with some free samples and an extremely friendly staff. But what turned us…
