Yum! It's fall, no denying it. Oranges,
golds, greens. Pumpkins everywhere, squirrels running around like,
well, nuts. And we humans too. What do you need to do to get ready
for winter? Or, at least get your Halloween costume together? Enjoy
the fall harvest! Here's what's going on this week.

Bigger, better...and the same
tavern prices
 As I've mentioned in the
past, we live very close to the Pineville Tavern. It's our local
place (where everyone knows our name, etc.). We've gotten to know
the owners, the Abruzzeses and a lot of nice people - including
bartenders, servers and customers - sitting at the
Pineville.
So the last 4-5 months have been tough. With
the help of Jim Hamilton (of Hamilton's Grill Room) as designer, a
ton of local contractors, and a lot of sweat and antacids, the

your animals will need to eat come winter.
This is all kind of new to me, the city girl.

grass-finished beef and meat in Bucks County, I learned the hard

talk. So when a farmer says his animals are grass-fed, I now know
it's the truth.
But what does "grass-fed" mean? There is a
lot of interest these days in eating healthier meat and
"grass-fed," "grass-finished," "pastured," and "antibiotic-free"
