On Sunday, Chris and I took the family to The Belgian Cafe, located in the Art Museum section of Philadelphia, PA. It was a rainy July afternoon and we were hoping for something tasty but not heavy - the restaurant didn’t disappoint.
What the cafe is really known for, however, isn’t so much its […]
Remember my recipe for a Radler? In this month’s Every Day with Rachael Ray, she offers a similar recipe - but with lime juice. I’ll confess that I haven’t yet tried it (I just saw the recipe) but it’s on my list. If you try it first, let me know how […]
The friar’s back, with another great wing recipe (the first is here).
An old eating and drinking buddy of mine once told me that these wings were my one great contribution to the cause of civilization. I don’t know whether or not you will agree but I think you will find that they are worth […]
All too often, we think about picnics as giant affairs with multiple courses. But why not make it a more basic affair as the Europeans do?
Ditch the potato salad, put away the cole slaw and say goodbye to the grill. Instead, go for simple flavors: some cheeses, salami, pepperoni, olives and good […]
Maybe it was the blueberry buckle with fresh cream that I ate for dessert last night - or maybe it was the skinny girl who passed me on my run today - but I have been in the mood to eat better as of late.
Lucky for us, it’s summer and there’s lots of fresh produce […]
In the South where I grew up, summer was all about seafood. As an adult, I developed a pretty nasty food allergy to shellfish - but I can still eat some fish. And despite the snarky comments from my husband, I happen to think that frying a good fish is one of the […]
The weather here on the east coast has recently been hot and uncomfortable. Of course, you know what they say: when life gives you lemons, make lemonade - and beer!
In Munich, the Germans make a wonderful summer drink called a radler. Basically, it’s a refreshing mixture of beer and lemonade. It’s […]
I’ve been a little obsessed with making bread for the past few months using my wonderful bread machine. This week, I stumbled upon a recipe for sourdough based on a beer starter and gave it a whirl. The recipe calls for little to no use of the bread machine - you can do […]
At the request of the good editors of this blog, I am going to offer up a few columns on food, including some recipes. It may not surprise you to learn that The Friar not only likes libation, but also food in almost all of its wondrous varieties. Now having gone to college […]
I enjoy a good cocktail. And I have to say, I would not generally consider mixing a cocktail with beer… But this recipe caught my eye. And I’m planning on giving it a whirl.
The cocktail is called a Michelada (also called a cerveza preparada) and the recipe was in the June 2008 […]
