If you ever find yourself here in coastal Delaware, take a meal at the Lewes Oyster House. Great food, service and a classic relaxed ambiance. Lunch today with my bride was amazing. Damn Burger, Oysters and Chicken Salad and of course Manhattans…

Soooo! My house coffee was $7.50/lb 1 week ago. Last night it was $10.00/lb !!!!! 😠
I can only think of one reason that a 33% increase would happen, TRUMP'S tariff threat to Columbia. Of course, he will preach that Columbia will pay the tariff, but we know who will really pay... #tariffwars

Mad Dog Bakes. Time to refresh the stock of Spaghetti, Fettuccini, Bigoli and Tagliolini. I package them in 75gram nests. I am looking forward to makingTrofie like we had in Piombino. It was dense, with a bit of chewy texture, and molto delizioso...

Mad Dog Bakes. Shout out to my bread pan. Lowest priced on Amazon at the time as I just couldn't pay the Challenger price, and this one has done an incredible job. There are several lower priced clones out there now, but make sure they have a tight lid if you try one... #maddogbakes #cuisiland
