Up to the minute Thanksgiving needs

So excited for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. My sisters and I each host and prepare a different course of the Thanksgiving meal and this year I have dessert!!  (My favorite). I made a triple threat chocolate cheesecake and will make a pear crostada tomorrow. The ice cream I made a couple of days ago and I have to say the coffee ice cream is the best I have ever tasted. I LOVE that cuisinart ice cream machine.  After cooking the custard on the stove I just popped it in the machine and it did all the churning for me. A ginger cake and lemon cupcakes add to the dessert menu and I will also make zeppole.  I wanted to show you some items we LOVE at the store that will add an interesting personal touch to your Thanksgiving. Teak handled cheese serving sets, vintage glassware and hand blown pitchers look great atop the retired wine barrel lid from France.  Also available are 4 fitted as lazy Susan's... All of the bisque tableware is half off.  Microwaveable and dishwasher safe their neutral colors make your dips and tapenades or cheese the feature. Priced from $9.00 they are great hostess gifts when coupled with the horn or bamboo servers. The natural waves formed in the glass of the handblown pitchers add shimmer.  We always have water pitchers on the table .  These can even be used the day after for serving OJ to houseguests. In 2 sizes and half off the pricing ....$33.00 and $35.00 is a steal! A great gift item, too! The Thanksgiving scents can live on long after the day... intoxicating pumpkin candles! PLENTY of barware on hand both unique and vintage! This vintage turkey dome available is a stunner.  I use mine every holiday and we all love the drama of the unveiling! Artisan pottery coaster sets have been a favorite for gifts and to add handmade colorful additions. Vintage silver plate flatware from France....unique design and useful as serving pieces. Several antique porcelain platters, pitchers and dessert dishes are available and only ONE gravy boat, $58.00! You have to cook, right? I couldn't even picture all the silver trays and vintage glassware, we are loaded! Don't forget all the dining tables have deep discounts and we welcomed new sofas and sectionals in luxurious fabrics this week ready for immediate delivery. We are here to help you create wonderful memories in your home. Hope to hear from you! Don't forget to SHOP SMALL this Saturday.... we are having specials to celebrate THIS small business!!

Jockey Hollow BK, a special place!!

Recently I was asked to attend the opening of the highly anticipated new restaurant,  Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen in Morristown New Jersey. This historic Morristown landmark, known as The Vail Mansion, has been the site of many events over the years.  I attended a show house years ago and was excited to, once again, see the beautiful architecture transformed by visionary restauranteur, Chris Cannon. The Vail Mansion, built in 1917, is the former home of Theodore Vail, first president of AT&T. After developers meticulously restored the property Chris Cannon recognized its potential as an iconic restaurant space. Mr. Cannon proudly greeted guests in front of the mansion's bronze double doors.  Chris was a principal in the acclaimed Manhattan restaurants Palio; Remio; Alto and the James Beard Award winner, Marea among others. Chris Cannon pictured on the right....THOSE DOORS! The Newark Firefighters Pipe Band proudly showed off their antique fire engine. I couldn't resist a photo with men in funny hats and plaid skirts! Everyone dressed for the event! The stately marble 2 story lobby is spectacular with its ornate bronze curved railing. Chris clowned around for us with one of the several impressive 3 dimensional commissioned art pieces. We always suggest a touch of whimsy and fun in every room and this astronaut sculpture accomplishes this in a big way! Such a wise decision to choose modern art in this venue.  With its historic architecture classical art would create a pretentious atmosphere.  The modern art adds an important edginess. Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen with its modern American and Italian inspired cuisine is a four-part concept;  Oyster and Wine Bar, The Vail Bar, The Rathskeller and The Dining Room. Original limestone fireplaces grace the intimate rooms of The Dining Room, upstairs The architecture is breathtaking. The Vail Bar with its clubby atmosphere was packed! The Oyster & Wine Bar bustled with the gracious servers attending to the many guests ... (loving the modern panels) The interior view of the bronze doors is a wonderful backdrop! Oysters a plenty!! from Mantoloking's Forty North Oyster Farm, the state's only oyster farm along the Atlantic coast. Mendham based Ralston Farm provides the Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen with the freshest ingredients and the details are worth further reading. The charcuterie was cut paper thin with the antique slicer.....they were thrilled it arrived just in time!!! An antique adds such importance!! (HA!! I couldn't resist the antiques plug!!) The Newark Firefighters Pipe Band performed after the opening presentation!  LOVED the pageantry!! Click here for video Well, OKAY! the highlight for us was when we spotted guest chef Alfred Portale , the James Beard award winning chef and restauranteur from Manhattan's Gotham Bar and Grill. His staff bustled behind him in the kitchen exposed to the soaring lobby.  He studied the crowd, no one recognized him, and then Nan (of course she recognized him) called out "Alfred, give us a smile, and he proudly beamed!! I guess I should have made my holiday reservation before I sent out this blast but DO let me know if you visit.  For more info The Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen.   Let's get some $$$ back for you from Amex!
