Virginia Chutney: building a chutney empire – one jar at a time.

April 6, 2008

Here’s a great piece about the Virginia Chutney Company (made of up of our friend Oliver Turner and his lovely parents) and how, whether you realize it or not, chutney is sweeping the nation.

… and its only a few blocks away from our apartment! Pacific Standard has also concocted some interesting prizes for your loyalty. My favorite is the “all-expenses-paid trip to Williamsburg”.

Christmas recap

December 29, 2007

In what has become a great little tradition, Karen and I had my mother over for dinner this Christmas Eve. We made a roasted chicken, green beans sauteed with mushrooms and crushed almonds and I took a crack at making potatoes-au-gratin – a childhood favorite of mine that my mother used to make. After dinner, [...]
