Linguini and Clam Sauce

When I mention I'm preparing Linguini and Clam Sauce, the first question I'm usually asked is, "white clam sauce or red clam sauce?" My answer is simply, "I'm an Italian from north Jersey - there's only one clam sauce and it sure ain't red."

Dim Sum of All Parts

Dim Sum of All Parts

I don’t know what it is about Dim Sum that improves my mood. The cute little portion size, exotic flavors, the reasonable prices, or the inexplicable ability of the food to encourage good will towards others. All I know that Dim Sum is a style of eating where the sum adds up to be a lot greater than all the little individual parts.

JANE ADAMS has had a life-long interest in good food and good restaurants. She started waitressing during college and continued working in restaurants for ten  years while she got her undergraduate Degree in Physics and a J.D. in Law from Widener University. 

During ten years of restaurant experience, she learned the true meaning and method of providing service to customers, how to get along with tempermental chefs, how to curse like a truck driver, a few secret techniques and recipes, and the basics of cooking good food.

For the past fifteen years, she has been a practicing family law attorney with an office in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, close to the Cumberland County Courthouse.  She has never lost her interest in good food, and is thrilled to use her solid writing skills in a non-legal venue to reflect on food and how it reveals various aspects of life.

Her dream second career would be to travel the United States, food blogging as a slightly toned down female version of Anthony Bourdain.  She lives in Boiling Springs with her husband of fifteen years, her teenage foodie daughter and their Great Dane, Chai.

JEN MERRILL is a freelance writer proudly based out of Harrisburg, Pa. Her work has been featured in Harrisburg MagazinePhiladelphia WeeklyLocal: A Quarterly of People and Places and La Voz Latina Central.

Jen graduated with high honors and a bachelor’s degree in Communications from Pennsylvania State University in 2012. While studying there, she also received an award for Outstanding Achievement in Journalism for her body of work completed in a Feature Writing course. 

Jen lives with her daughter, Audrey, who is a constant source of inspiration. Together they enjoy coloring, mastering the use of "little kid scissors" and swooning over DJ Lance Rock on Yo Gabba Gabba
