Vegan Valentine Buffet and Book Signing at Caremes

When you think of dating someone, the first thing you think of isn’t normally what their food preferences happen to be. But, if you are a vegan it can be one of the things you consider. The American Vegan Society hosted a Valentines Dinner Buffet, at Caremes Restaurant which featured a book signing by Anne Dinshah,  daughter of Vegan Society president Freya Dinshah. Anne’s book called Dating Vegans:Recipes for Relationships talks about vegans socializing with non-vegans and how it can be a source of frustration or an opportunity for positive interaction and fun activities.

Salt Ayre Bistro Opens in Ventnor

Salt Ayre Bistro opened in the tiny gem of a space once occupied by Gertrude’s at 7309 Ventnor Ave. in Ventnor. The beautiful new sign out front is very impressive and sure to catch the eye, I love the compass. The eatery is decorated with a coastal vibe, pale gray and white brick wall with striking black and white photographs of seaside architecture. The staff were at once very friendly and helpful. We learned that they were the owners son and wife. The owner is the chef and opened their new restaurant for his sons. They came from another local, LoBianco in Margate, where Salts’ owner was a chef. Did you follow that?

Cake Boss Celebrates Tropicana and Atlantic Cape Community College Of Culinary Arts 30TH Anniversary

TLC’S CAKE BOSS of Hoboken helped the Tropicana Casino and Resort and Atlantic Cape Community College of Culinary Arts celebrate their 30th anniversaries in a “Sweet” way recently on the floor of the Palm Walk in the Trop Casino in Atlantic City. ‘Buddy’ Valastro better known as the CAKE BOSS on the TLC Channel reality show baked a vanilla and chocolate fudge cake for the occasion. It measured 5 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet tall and featured the six buildings that make up the Tropicana Casino and Hotel properties. It took a team of 10 people four days to complete. And as President and CEO of Tropicana Tony Rodio said “Anytime you have a celebration of any kind, you bake a cake, and what better way then with the Cake Boss himself?“ Valastro said it could feed 1,000 people, which sent the huge crowd watching the event into cheers, myself included. I guess Marie Antionette was right with the “Let them eat cake” line. I managed to get a piece of the cake along with the many other fans. It was yummy and moist. All around me happy people were oohing and ahhing and licking their fingers trying to get every last crumb.

No One Wines Like A Jersey Girl

I recently received an e-mail that really touched me. It said this HOLIDAY SEASON we should support our country’s economy. I instantly thought, how is that possible with everything being mass produced for our consumption in other countries. Our family tried to build and furnish our new home a few years ago with “American Made” and found it to be almost impossible and cost prohibitive. How could I possibly do my holiday shopping and support our country as much as possible in the process? As I continued reading the e-mail the sender had made some great suggestions. They recommended buying restaurant, dinner theatre, concert, museum, salon and spa gift certificates, but the idea that grabbed my attention was go to local arts and craft fairs and help a “starving artist” this year. Aha! There were a few fairs in my area and I decided to check one of them out.

Australian Outback Wine Dinner


Last week, I was invited to one of the Atlantic City Country Club’s wine pairing dinners. The country club, located in Northfield, provided a rustic setting in an old world dining room with floors made of ship’s wood. Even on a rainy evening, the view was spectacular with the lights of Atlantic City visible in the distance.
