Delaware Chews at Paulies in Ewing

I like this place and it is close and convenient.  It is a bit pricey...but not any more than the other restaurants of its caliber in our area.  Hard to leave for much less than $40. after indulging myself ever so slightly with a nice entrée, glass of wine and coffee.  Well why not, it's worth it to sit outside in the evening with my good friend Patti, and dine on the patio at Paulies.  The night we went we were offered perfect weather,  and the service was excellent adding to the dining experience.  I had the Angeloni Fish advertised as the signature fish, herb encrusted and topped with a garlic white sauce.  It was cooked to perfection, tender and tasty with the light summer sauce.  Patti was able to order a vegetarian meal that completely satisfied her.  There was no rush, despite the patio filling up and we enjoyed tea and coffee and a nice chat outside in a lovely environment.  Think I might have to go back a little more often.

Foodie Friday: Delaware Chews at Home but Not Mine

It is a great pleasure to  dine in fine restaurants and sometimes even not so fine ones.  There is nothing, however, like dining in the home of a good friend.  The wine flows freely, the laughter floats in the air, you can sit on a couch or floor after eating and delight in the comfort of cozy. If you are really lucky and have the pleasure of dining in the home of a friend who prepares the food with love it will be one of the best meals you ever had.   I had that pleasure recently
