Emerging from the Post-Thanksgiving Food Coma

Posted in family, friends, holidays, recipes, wine, tagged , , , , on December 1, 2009 | 4 Comments »

It’s been three days since the Thanksgiving feast at my house (my mother in law made dinner on Thursday), and I think I am finally recovered from the carb-induced delirium that befell me after the hearty repast.  Seriously, most of the dinner consisted of starchy/sugary foods – and I cannot get enough of the deadly [...]

What a Day to be a Food Lover!

Posted in events, friends, fun, restaurants, tagged , , , , , , , , , on November 1, 2009 | 1 Comment »

Today was a great day.
I spent the morning at the Schenectady Greenmarket, picking up lots of great vegetables, bread, vegan hummus, and wine from the Hudson-Chatham Winery.  I probably would have forgotten to go the market, had I not been reminded by my neighbor and buddy Chef Mark that he would be cooking at the [...]

“Fair Food Feeding Frenzy!”

Posted in events, friends, fun on August 10, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Many times I’ve heard my friend Debra shout those words, as we made our way through some sort of festival or county fair, searching for something deep-fried, cheesy, or maybe even both.  And, with the Altamont Fair opening tomorrow, I thought it might be time to discuss ”fair food” – fried dough, nachos, gyros, and something-on-a-stick [...]

…a Wendalicious exclusive BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

If you’ve ever been to Ambition Café on Jay Street in Downtown Schenectady, then you’ve likely noticed the sandwich on the menu called the “Crabby Marc” (and if you haven’t been there, you’re missing a great funky little place).  The Crabby Marc is named for Ambition’s owner, Marc Renson.  Upon meeting [...]

The World of Wendalicious Wong

Posted in friends, fun, life, reviews on June 17, 2009 | 4 Comments »

Sorry for the long absence…my life has yet again gotten away from me. I’ve been so busy leading up to my June 6 event in Schenectady County (History & Heritage Day), that I’ve almost completely ignored the twittersphere for about a month.
So much to talk about!
Eh, not really.
But, I do have a few nuggets from [...]

Marlene and the Amazing Technicolor DreamQuilt

Posted in friends on May 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »

I am notoriously bad a remembering to send things: email replies, Christmas cards, birthday cards, thank-you notes…so you’ll understand, I hope, that I needed to make this thank you public because of its extreme tardiness.
One of my best friends, Marlene, made Bob and me a wedding present – a beautiful quilt, in the most stunning [...]

Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah!

Posted in friends, fun, holidays on December 23, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I never got around to sending Christmas cards this year (or baking cookies, or even putting up a tree), but I want to send out Christmas and Hanukkah greetings to all of my friends and loyal Wendalicious readers (who are pretty much the same 5 people).
If you happen to be listening to the radio on [...]
