Jersey Girl Pork Roll Sandwich

It’s no secret that I love to travel. It is also no secret that I love good food. Regional specialties like Key lime pie, Maryland crab, Jersey pork roll are the best. Places try to copy them but fail. Why? Because the ingredients are local and hard to find much less duplicate outside the given [...]

O. N. E. Coconut Water Review And Giveaway

Oahu’s Breakfast Lunch and Crab, the North Shore’s Aloha shrimp and prawns, the beachside fresh fruit stands provided food for the body and food for the soul. With 5,000 miles separating native fair, Sam Choy’s, roadside stands, and me partaking of such treats is problematic as I live in New Jersey not Hawaii. I especially [...]

Hershey’s Easter Treats And Hop

Ash Wednesday signaled the start of Lent as well as the start of Easter planning for me. My grandkids are starting to age. They rebel at attending any boardwalk Easter parade. Egg rolls no longer excite them. They think they are too old for the toys and trinkets I fill inside. They complain that plastic [...]
