It's Tomato Season at Montgomery Place Orchards

This past weekend, my parent and I enjoyed a lovely low key weekend at our cabin. On our way there, we stopped at one of our favorite local farm stands to stock up on delicious fresh produce! We have been loyal customers for years and we've never been let down!
The farm stand isn't ginormous, but it is always packed with delicious seasonal produce. Right now, it's all about the tomatoes (and blueberries)! 
A bit of history
So much to choose from 
In addition to fresh produce, Montgomery Farms has a fridge, where they sell mainly local dairy products.
So adorable!

I'll admit, I'm not a huge tomato lover, but even I was impressed by the tomato selection. I had never seen so many shapes and colors and varieties! Despite not loving tomatoes, even I felt compelled to stock up and try the selection. 
I was blown away by the large number of tomato varieties that Montgomery Place Orchards had on offer! 
Summertime is also blueberry season --- and the blueberries here are dynamite!
We bought some of these green beans and they were so delicious!
Montgomery Place Orchards also makes their own jam and preserves

I always enjoy visiting Montgomery Farm Orchards. They always have really fresh, delicious, and lovely produce, not to mention, the variety is always astounding. Be it tomatoes or apples or jams or lettuce, I am always so impressed by the huge selection!

Shalom Japan: It's Me, on a Plate!

Image
Last month, my best friend (E) and I ventured out into the outskirts of Willamsburg to try a new restaurant called "Shalom Japan." We are always looking for new places to try and this establishment peaked our interest. Why? Because it is Jewish-Japanese fusion…basically, me on a plate! I've heard of all sorts of cuisine fusions, but this was certainly a first. I'll admit, Shalom Japan is not necessarily in the nicest of neighborhoods and it's not not a busy street. E and I were a bit nervous that we'd gone the wrong way, but eventually, we found the place. The restaurant is quite small, but homey. It's got wood tables/chairs and the building is brick. The atmosphere is very laid back and nice. So far, so good.  I was really intrigued by the menu. I was familiar with all of the ingredients, but was truly impressed by how they were incorporated into Jewish dishes. For example, the sake kasu challah.  I LOOOOOOVE challah. If I had no self contr

Gordon Ramsay's Cheesy Potato Dauphinoise

Image
I am fairly impressionable --- at least when it comes to cooking. When I see a recipe or a dish that intrigues me, I become obsessed and determine to give it a go. I have been obsessively watching Come Dine With Me  for at least one month and a dish that keeps popping up is: Potato Dauphionoise. I've eaten this side dish a couple times in my life, but not recently. It looked so delicious and easy to make, and I was determined to try my hand at this posh looking side. As per usual, I consulted the internet to look for recipes. As most of you know, I am obsessed with Gordon Ramsay. He is always my go to. If he doesn't have a recipe for something I want to make, I'm always feel a little lost, but luckily, that wasn't the case this time. I was delighted to have stumbled upon Gordon Ramsay's "Gratin Dauphonoise." He has yet to let me down and you know what, this dish was a winner! Something that I am adding to my repertoire.  This dish was incredibly e

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Where Greek Mythology Comes to Life

Image
Last week, I finally made it to the movie theater to see Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. I don’t care what anyone says, I LOVED IT. I loved the film, I love the Percy Jackson franchise, I love the Rick Riordan books, and I cannot wait for the next book ( The Titan’s Curse), to be made into a film! For those who may be unfamiliar with Percy Jackson, allow me to briefly explain. Percy Jackson is essentially Harry Potter , but the magic has been swapped for ancient Greek mythology. The protagonist of the series, Percy Jackson, is a demi-god and son of Poseidon --- god of the Seas. Percy lives at Camp Half Blood and is often accompanied by his best friends, Grover (a satyr) and Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena). These three, along with a variety of other characters, go on quests and do everything in their power to stop the return of the evil Titan, Kronos, who is trying to resurrect himself and overthrow Olympus. (He’s got a bit of a grudge against his sons --- Zeu
