Did you know that Cape May is host to the only U.S. Coast Guard Recruit Training Center in the country? Most tourists coming through don’t even know the Coast Guard base is here, especially if their stay doesn’t take them to the intersection of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania avenues where the big sign is.

One afternoon, I decided to look for the lost civilization of South Cape May. Unlike another lost civilization – Atlantis – there are still vestiges of South Cape May around.

We are now entering February and legend has it if the chef’s groundhog sees its shadow, we have six more weeks of comfort cooking to look forward to. What exactly is comfort cooking?

Well, I survived Thanksgiving with just minor leg cramps from my exile to the little table and have slowly started to emerge from my tryptophan induced coma (helped along by several bottles of very good wine and one too many helpings of pumpkin and pecan pies). It is the day after Thanksgiving and I have… Read more »
I’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving since it is- well November – and trying to figure out who I’ll be inviting to dinner this year.
