The weather outside was frightful, but our Christmas Eve dinner at Due Terre was delightful.
All day long, the icy rain poured down. When Rex went out in the morning to bring in some provisions from Shop Rite in Chester, NJ, I called his Blackberry to suggest that he pick up some ingredients for dinner and [...]
I’ve just received the special Christmas Eve Dinner menu from Matthew Rotella, the manager at Due Terre Enoteca in Bernardsville, New Jersey, and we’ve decided… we’re on for an early Christmas Eve dinner at Due Terre tonight after the annual Christmas Pageant at Hilltop Church in Mendham.
I’ve posted the complete menu below, but it looks [...]
Rex, London, Maddie and I enjoyed Christmas Eve dinner a couple years back in the dining room at the Bernards Inn. There was something delicious on the menu for each of us, and the evening was joyous and festive in all the right ways. This year on Christmas Eve (Wednesday, December 24th), the [...]
My pre-Thanksgiving copy of the Observer-Tribune arrived today, delivering the sad news that after 15 years, the landmark French cuisine restaurant known as Pierre’s Restaurant and Wine Bar will be closing its doors for good on New Year’s Day — January 1, 2009.
Our table of ten Roxiticus Desperate Housewives (and Husbands) have enjoyed many a [...]
When our family first moved out to the Roxiticus Valley from New York City’s West Village, Rex and I commuted in to our NYC office a lot more than we do now, but we had a hard and fast rule of “never on a Friday.” Instead, on Fridays we ventured out to explore the local [...]
I’m sitting out on our porch in Bay Head, New Jersey, finishing up the weekend-long celebration of our tenth wedding anniversary, and reflecting on our perfect Friday evening at the Bernards Inn in Bernardsville, New Jersey.
London and Maddie were giggling about our plans all day, excitedly insisting that I must wear my “poufy black dress” [...]
Wow. I can’t believe it’s been ten years since Rex and I were married on the beach in Bay Head, New Jersey, but it’s true: Rex and I are celebrating our tenth wedding anniversary tonight. We’re taking the girls with us for dinner at the Bernards Inn in Bernardsville, New Jersey, one of our favorite [...]
The girls were busy at school and we didn’t have any business conference calls scheduled on Friday afternoon, so Rex and I decided to slip away to drop off a donation at the Visiting Nurses Rummage Sale in Far Hills, pick up a case of wine at Gary’s and to try out Equus, a new-ish restaurant in Bernardsville, New [...]
Rex and I “diverge” when it comes to the Station Pub & Grub in Bernardsville, New Jersey. After a disappointing experience there about a year ago, Rex will not likely go back. That afternoon started with the opening of Charlotte’s Web at the Clearview Bernardsville Cinema, where the seats smelled rank and moldy and the [...]
Okay, readers, I know I deceived you once before about my availability to attend the Chef’s Table Dinner at Pierre’s on June 12th and then ditched you for a prior commitment to Movin’ Out at NJPAC….but this time, I’ve marked my calendar and I’m pulling together a table of ten or more for Pierre’s 14th [...]
