Truffle and Salt

About as local as the topic of this next post gets is the fact that you can buy it on the internet and have it shipped to Frederick, but every once in a while I just have to mention something I come across that I love.  One of the most amazing condiments I have ever encountered [...]

Isabella’s Meats

The other night Mrs. F and I were eating at Isabellas.  While I felt guilty not trying something new so I could report on it here, it was a very rare date night so I wanted to make sure there were no disappointments.   I have made no secret of my love for this place in the [...]

When I Grow Up

When I grow up I want to be a blog just like this one.  Seriously, this is a phenomenal blog that I read regularly even though I don’t do much in Howard County except drive through it.  This is a true labor of love, very informative and it shows.  A model for all wanna-be local food [...]

Current Top Chef Odds

You’ve got to love having Top Chef in Vegas.  Where else are you going to have the bookmakers giving weekly odds on the contestants?  They are updated following the week nine restaurant wars episode and Bryan is still in fourth.  No surprise Kevin still holds the top spot.   I wish I had access to the betting.  It [...]

Jefferson Pastry Shoppe- a Hidden Gem

Family traditions are funny.  Mrs. F brings  her family’s Halloween tradition of eating donuts and cider after pumpkin carving.  The kids love it, but I have to admit  the combination of cider and donuts always struck me as a little wierd.  However if she can accept Guy Fawkes Day I can certainly abide by this.  Besides what’s not [...]

Top Chef- Go Bryan

 
All of us in the Fred household have been following Top Chef religiously.  Actually we have watched the show as a family since season 2.  Since we TIVO it I have been ducking the front page of the Frederick News Post on Thursday mornings and my office is forbidden to discuss it in my presence.  Of [...]

Brunswick Farmers Market

The Brunswick farmer’s market is now being held on Wednesdays from 4-7 p.m.  This is a change from last  year.  The location is the same, but I haven’t had a chance to go this year so no current reports on it.  Here  are my comments from last year.  Anyone else been this year and care to comment?

Truffles

The candy kind I mean.  You may remember that I had complained back before Christmas about the Candy Kitchen.  They seemed in disarray and tired.  However,  last week I was out stretching my legs and stopped by.  Looking around I saw a lot of new candy and noticed that they had reworked their truffles.  There were lots [...]
