Meadow Breeze Farm Market

This little hidden gem of a Farmer's Market is about as simple and local as you can get. I often ride my bike or walk to the Meadow Breeze Farm Market to pick up fresh eggs (that I use for my muffins/cookies/cakes-FABULOUS). Corn is in now (June 24 as of this writing) but as I know from growing up in Illinois, the BEST, sweetest corn is after the 4th of July to mid July.
They have their own beef (have not tried). And of course, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, etc.
Make sure you take a look in the fridge in the back, because they also stock homemade Whoopie Pies and mini crumb pies (like shoo-fly and apple).
Also-I tried buying watermelon at Wegmans and have ALWAYS been so disappointed (don't get me wrong, love Wegman's - but they are not PERFECT) - but the watermelon at Meadow Breeze Farm is freaking juicy and sweet and perfect!!!
Oh. And. In the off season? When they have no one to man the market, they leave a little metal box for you to put your money in for the things you take...how freaking trusting and awesome is THAT?????
I love this simple, family owned, fresh, awesome, delish, friendly place.

Honey - Truly Golden!

Honey - a foodie have in Doylestown, Pa. Small but inviting and the food is...well, the best food we've ever had and that may have had a lot to do with the way our server, Trudi, presented and paired the food together to make our experience truly remarkable.
This is a great place to go if celebrating an anniversary (they have romantic booths with draped by fabric to give a feeling of intimacy.
We enjoyed: 5 Spice Chinese Sweet Potato Fries (fabulous alone or with one of the dipping sauces).
Wild Boar Sloppy Joes. I am not an adventurous eater, but was willing to 'go with the flow" and these were fabulous!
Pizza with lamb and lemongrass - my partners FAVORITE of the evening.
Scallops with lomein noodles.
Black Tea Ribs with ginger ice cream. Pairing the ice cream with a bite of the ribs really exalted this dish. I LOVED it.
Chocolate Creme Brule (with chili in it, I believe, very zingy!)
And Chocolate Rice Pudding.
We also had a Honey Blossom Martini - Sweet!
And a Hot and Dirty martini - which was one of my most favorite martini's ever (in the dirty genre).
We'd always help Bobby Flays restaurant as the "Best" we've been to, but Honey has surpassed Mr. Flay - in creativity and ambiance.
We won't be holding off on "special" occasions to eat there, though, as life should be celebrated often and we want to try everything on the menu!
Also - We had drinks, 5 main dishes, 2 desserts, coffee and our bill totaled 109.00. You don't need to break the bank to experience truly creative food and awesome service.

Dettera

We stopped in for lunch right before Christmas. The downstairs was sunny in the front, dark and mysterious in the back. We sat in the back.
Our waitress was very polite and seemed a bit nervous...as if she was new...or it could have been the fact I was taking pictures of all my food...LOL.
Anyway.
I was drinking a dirty martini (it was a few minutes after noon!) and it's hard to find a bartender that makes a really good martini - but this one rocked. Chilled glass, ice cold, and smooth.
We started with the WARM ASPARAGUS SALAD
Wrapped in Black Forest Proscuitto and Tellagio Cheese with Green Herb Vinaigrette. (9 bucks)
FABULOUS.
I had the GRILLED 8oz KOBE BURGER
On Onion Brioche with Caramelized Onion and Farmhouse Cheddar w/ bacon (somewhere in the 14 bucks range).
WOW. Soft bun. Juicy burger. I rarely eat burgers but that day I was dying for one and next time I'm craving a good hunk of beef - I'll return to Dettera's!
My mate had the CRAB CAKE PANINI Tartar Sauce on Cibatta Roll (14 bucks) and said it was very good.
For dessert - I had the Coconut Flan.
Seriously? Best dessert I've ever had (that's not in the chocolate food group). Wow. Light yet dense with tropical flavor. I thought I'd melt into a puddle of happiness. Really, the perfect way to end the meal.
Mate had creme brulee, he liked, I tried it, and we both agreed it was very good.
We checked out the upstairs before we left - very cozy (fireplace).
I really can't wait to return and try EVERYTHING.
Loved everything from the atmosphere to the food.

Back to the 50's. Furlong Pa

It’s nice to know that when you’re craving french fries and a sandwich at 9 in the morning, Back to the 50’s located in Furlong will indulge you.

You won’t be able to miss the squat pink building (reminds me of my favorite Bonnie Bell lipgloss – Cotton Candy) and once inside, you’ll find it’s cozy, but the booths are nice and roomy.

This was the first time I’ve ever had the famous “Elvis” sandwich – peanut butter and bananas on grilled bread (I added bacon) – and it was worth the wait.

The fries were crispy (even at 9 in the morning) and the regular size fry came in a huge basket, easily enough for 2.  Now, I’m a picky fry eater, and Back to the 50’s serves the thick kind (I like mine thin or curly and thin) – which my mate loved, but alas, I prefer the skinner variety.

Our waitress was friendly and attentive  – though the young guy that sat us seemed like he’d rather be at home playing video games than working – no Richie Cunningham or Fonzie – still – he was polite – just a bit distant.

I look forward to more visits to try the cheese steaks (which Alice from the Chalfont Post Office swears is the best in the area).

Ps. If you order the Elvis, please refrain from saying “Thank you, thank you very much” when the waitress delivers it. She’s heard that line 4, 567 times.

After my original stylist left (Lynda), I tried many of the other hair stylists and found that the one thing they all shared in common was the fact they made you feel like a friend, not just a customer. And if I didn't like the way someone colored my hair (because my hair is dark and Lynda had just the right touch with it), I tried someone else out.
It's a delicate situation, but the staff at Blue never ever make you feel guilty or embarrassed for trying to find the right "fit" like so many other salons do.
The thing is, I could have followed Lynda, but I was reluctant to leave Blue because it has such a warm atmosphere, is professional but with their own unique personality. I mean, if that isn't a true testimonial to how great it is, I'm not sure what could top that.
And guess what? Lynda ended up coming back!

Fried Oreos. Kielbasa for breakfast. Cozy. The waitresses make you feel like you're at home (but don't ask you to do the dishes). They have flapjacks! And grits. When I leave, I feel loved.
