For some reason, with the exception of Moon Under Water, almost all downtown St. Pete restaurants are closed over the noon-hour on Sundays. For me, that’s one of the times I really want to “go out!” That’s why I was so happy to learn from the owners of Island Seafood Market & Bistro of Angie’s [...]

Dried Mushrooms

July 7, 2010

One of the challenges of being single is getting all the produce cooked while it’s still fresh. I’ve finally come to accept that simply isn’t going to happen until a fresh produce market opens within comfortable walking distance of my home so I can shop every day. Meanwhile, I keep working at ways to reduce [...]

Lucky Star Hong Kong Style Chinese Restaurant

May 27, 2010

If you’re in the mood for authentic Cantonese on the St. Pete side of the bay there’s really only two places: ABC Seafood, reviewed earlier in Inkwatu, and the Lucky Star Hong Kong Style Chinese Restaurant (4175 66th Street North, St Petersburg, FL 33709-4915; 727-381-8888‎; map). On the Tampa side of the bay, my favorite [...]

Fort Worth Bavarian Bakery

May 7, 2010

On a recent business trip to Fort Worth, Texas, my friends there took me to the Bavarian Bakery and Cafe. Such an establishment may not seem to jive with the stereotypical Texan cuisine, but it is a very popular place with the locals and it is decidedly authentic as both the owner/operators–husband and wife, Stephan [...]

Strawberries

March 18, 2010

click on photo then click again for close-up image P. G. Wodehouse once said, “Everything in life that’s any fun, as somebody wisely observed, is either immoral, illegal or fattening.” I’m so glad that’s not true of strawberries! They’re so good this year, and very affordable. And, local. Most images link to larger images. [...]

Organic produce and fresh fish shopping in St. Pete.

March 8, 2010

Comments are often where the most interesting content is in a blog. I especially enjoy comments which are questions such as a recent one that asked how to find good produce locally. It prompted me to create an answer, which I posted as an answering comment, that summed up my favorite places for local produce. [...]

Perk up your sandwich with kimchi

February 19, 2010

Anything tastes better rolled in a tortilla or layered into a sandwich. That basic truth is helping me to eat more vegetables. I sometimes even find salads tedious to eat, but when I roll them into a tortilla, I love them ever bit as much as an unhealthy burrito. This post isn’t even a [...]

Madeleina Cottage Restaurant

February 11, 2010

exterior Madeleina Cottage Restaurant This is a repost of material buried in a much longer, earlier post about something else: Gulfport Trolley Day. I’m extracting this material and reposting it here to give the Madeleina Cottage Restaurant the focus it deserves. At the end of a long day of exploring various trolley servies in St. [...]

Stella’s Deli & Gelato

February 4, 2010

The Tampa Bay area has a large number of first class restaurants, but not as many New York style delis as I would like. (Admittedly, I’d like one on every block.) There’s Jo-El’s Delicatessen & Marketplace (Jewish), European Goodies (Polish), and Mazzaro’s Market (Italian) plus a number of ethnic markets (Bosnian Bakery, Cafe Mozart, Dong [...]

Lentils with yogurt and garlic

January 30, 2010

Just a quickie recipe: make lentils your usual way. For me, that means putting them in medium size crockpot, covering with vegetable (or chicken) broth up to near top of pot, dumping in an entire onion chopped, two (or three!) handfuls of peeled garlic buds, 1 Knorr’s bouillon cube (veg or chicken), 1/4 teaspoon of [...]
