Actually, celebrity chef Guy Fieri will be in town right around dinnertime . . . he’ll start cookin’ at Chrysler Hall at around 7:30 p.m. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/some-tidewater-dining-suggestions-guy-fieri Fri, 20 Nov 2009 08:09:45 -0500 Italian food is so delicioso, but so is Italian dinnerware. Check out some of both tonight at Serendip, a cool little home décor store in the Freemason section of Norfolk. Center stage is the Vietri line of dinnerware. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/delicious-dinnerware-tonite-serendip Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:36:41 -0500 A while back, we featured chicken wings in our monthly taste test. That day, six highly-qualified readers spent hours sampling chicken wings from Tidewater restaurants most nominated by other readers. One spry, old tester described the winning wings – spicy garlic flavored from Buffalo Beach in Virginia Beach – as “spicy, tangy and hot. Like a good-looking divorcee.” http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/kluckr-seeks-best-wings-town Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:44:17 -0500   I don’t think you’ll be able to guess this one, unless you’ve been trailing me. But I’ll send a cookbook to whoever comes closest to the right answer! Here's a hint: the season just started. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/guess-what-ive-been-doing-part-deux Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:59:21 -0500 Don't fear the frat boys. That's the message from Marty Williamson, the Pi Kappa Alpha brother who is helping to organize this weekend's fundraiser for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/cool-weather-plan-try-20-types-chili-weekend Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:41:59 -0500 Let’s see. Driving rain. Wind gusts that could knock down a gas grill. Tunnels closed. Roadways flooded. Kids home from school. Sounds like a perfect day to cook! I’ll be preparing Thanksgiving dinner today. No, I’m not having a blonde moment; it’s for a photo shoot later this afternoon. Such is the advance-deadline life of the staff epicure! http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/perfect-weather-planning-gingerbread-house Thu, 12 Nov 2009 09:19:16 -0500 I once knew a man whose eyes would actually roll back in his head with pleasure while eating a plate of food that had been set before him. Even people like us who love to cook love being cooked for. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/tidewater-community-colleges-dining-pleasures Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:00:45 -0500 See all that? That's The Baby Girl's Halloween Haul. Full-size candy bars, gum, lollipops. It just goes on and on. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/fortifying-our-troops-chocolate Mon, 09 Nov 2009 14:55:23 -0500 So what was I doing with a fish and a tootbrush? Corning spot, of course! Corning is an old-fashioned way of preserving fish. It's a dying art that Jim Merritt over at The Catch Seafood in Norfolk is passing on through  classes at his market. Jim's next class is Sunday at 5:30 p.m. http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/duh-i-was-corning-spot Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:21:22 -0500 So. What do y'all think I've  been up to today? Figure it out and I'll mail you a brand new cookbook! http://hamptonroads.com/2009/11/guess-what-ive-been-doing-today Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:10:50 -0500
