Combine caramel with Gosling’s Dark Rum, cream, whole butter, and a pinch of sea salt, and the results are a rich, transporting caramel to drizzle over ice cream or, better yet, lick right off the spoon.

Greenpoint Food Market – Not Your Average Church Bake Sale

[nggallery id=31] Last Saturday, James and I made our way to the basement of the Church of Messiah to check out the Greenpoint Food Market. We began to get the distinct impression that we were latecomers to this hidden gem the minute we saw the crowds rubbing their bellies as they came outside. I wasn’t sure what to expect beforehand, but I was mightily impressed by what we found at this monthly artisanal food market. There were samples galore, and I filled my market bag wi
