Cheeseboy is the comfort food for Mark and Lynn during a long November...

Lynn and I had managed to escape from New York into Boston for a couple of days during a tumultuous November on Long Island.   Strange to us to find comfort, maybe even a superior culinary experience on the rest area in Milford, Connecticut.  What we found was Cheeseboy, America's first (and only) fast food grilled cheese outfit.  "Fast food" is a bit of a unfair characterization as Cheeseboy is, in our minds at least, a kind of gourmet experience tucked into the typical rest area junk food experience. Lynn and I had a relatively healthy concoction of light Swiss on multi grain bread on both of our passes from Boston back to Long Island.   Was the cheese local?  the bread?  Probably not, however, it was the best kind of local New England food experience for us....

Kendall Jackson's revolutionary wine app merges the love of wine with mood, food and Facebook...

Lynn and I are not that technically oriented, however, occasionally something comes our way that causes us to re-think such things; so it is with the K-J (Kendall Jackson) recommends App.  This App allows the user to pair Kendall Jackson's variety of wines with any food, occasion, time of day and even mood (happy, playful, reflective and so on).   This helps both take the guess work out of these scenarios as well as helps educate not only the wine lover's palate but also helps educate particularly about the notions of the connection between wines and mood which is often overlooked.  The App is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and can be used with most major social media including Facebook.  The App is free of charge and is available at http://bit.ly/W42iJu for Apple devices and http://bit.ly/SWMv0W for Android devices.
