A Bay Head couple step into the sun

After decades of shade gardening, a Shore couple leaped at a sun-splashed lot and saw the upside of a downtrodden house that needed everything.

Adventures in Homeownership

A friend of mine bought a house in North Carolina a few years back, and when she first moved in, she slept with a hammer, a garage-door opener, Lysol spray, and her cell phone under her pillow. (The plan, apparently, was to distract an intruder by opening the garage door while spraying Lysol in his face, calling 911, and threatening him with a hammer). As an easily scared whimp, I figured I'd probably do the same thing someday.

Side Trip To Sicily

After my week with the teachers in Athens, which I described in my previous post, I flew to Sicily to meet my family for a quick vacation. 

A meal, strangely enough, gave me a new insight into one of the two main characters in Tennessee Williams' "The Rose Tattoo."

Last Minute Mom

If you still haven’t made Mother’s Day reservations, do not abandon hope. We found six culinarily and geographically diverse eateries that told us they would take people who called today.

Wild on the Interstate

The traffic and the drivers are one thing, but wilder yet is what lies just over the shoulder of our Jersey Interstate Highways.

One of my favorite places to contemplate nature is at the intersection of I-80 and I-280 in (approximately) Pine Brook, where traffic often slows to a crawl, making it easy to roll down a window and pull out the camera.

Lord Love a (Curried) Duck

Today's recipe--curried duck and mango sandwiches--is easier to make than it may sound.

The secret? You don't have to cook the duck. Make your way to a Chinese market and buy a succulent cooked Peking duck for these sweet-and-spicy sandwiches. (Alternatively, substitute four sautéed duck breast halves.)

In This Issue

The Home Issue

"Gimme shelter," sang the Rolling Stones, identifying a basic human need. (Okay, the song was about war, but it did mention carpet. You can look it up.) We've come a long way since then. As you'll see in this special report, shelter today aims for a new harmony between indoors and outdoors, between tradaition and cheek (something the Stones knew all about).
