100% Open Stage!

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players ~Shakespeare

I get into live performances. I saw the Mummers Parade Live in Philly and got weepy with excitement. I know, ridiculous. I built the scenery for the church's Vacation Bible School with my own two hands. I got chills when my friend played Rooster in "Annie" at a community theatre. He was truly that good. My sister, Michele Rose, is a realtor who owns her own staging company. Rose-Colored Staging can turn a home from dull to exciting with some creativity. I love creativity.

I was never really into the bar scene. I prefer the term, "pub." (Very British of me.) I frequent one specific bar that is dripping with creativity. (And by frequent I mean possibly once every 2-3 months.) If I lived closer... Who knows? ...This is me and my cousin Ann. Yes, we're gorgeous...

It all started with Facebook. I met some people and they all happen to be Burlington High School Alumni. I was adopted by these fabulous party peeps and invited to their High School Reunion at Dr. Lou's Place. (Doc Lou of course, is also a Burlington High graduate and on Facebook) That's when I discovered that I kinda like this place! Obviously...

"Play It Loud You Lose the Crowd, Play It Right, They'll Stay All Night."
This is Lou Pica who owns and operates Dr. Lou's Place in Roebling, NJ. Located at 1501 Hornberger Ave, it is the only 100% Open Stage in the Delaware Valley. What I experienced is truly amazing. Recently, Doc Lou's had their 3 year Open Stage Anniversary. The place was packed and the music was by far, some of the best "starving artists" I've ever heard.
Lou was a man with a dream. He knew musicians were looking for support from other musicians, looking for a perfect venue and had a desire to build friends and family through the open stage experience. They found themselves playing their heart out at Doc Lou's. Lou has about 11 years of guitar playing under his belt and when he performed Johnny Cash's "I Walk The Line" I knew I had stumbled upon something great.

True Confession: I thought the harmonica player was some kid I babysat 30 years ago. The mysterious hair-in-his-eyes horn player was hiding out playing the keyboards in between horning. (I made that word up) A man who screamed on key with a tambourine, and a drummer who I learned "really is as good as I think he is" and the bluesy lap guitar player had us mesmerized. We were truly living the Dr. Lou experience right up front in our favorite booth. I'm sure we were on Dr. Lou's Live Stream. The guys totally rocked it!

Topped off with wings and drinks and a lot of laughing, you know I'll be back for more. Yes, I'm a hot mess, but at least I'm hot...and a mess.

Don't forget Taco Tuesday! It's on my Bucket List after all! (So what if I have low aspirations?)

Classic rock, southern rock, blues-type rock, oldies, whatever is played, I'm having a blast at Dr. Lou's Place! I don't know all the artists names, the band names, or details, but this much I know, good music, good friends, good food, and a good vibe come together at Dr. Lou's Place. Now, if I can only move closer... Good thing I know a realtor!


A little tune about Dr. Lou's Place
Dr. Lou's Place offers an ice cream window, excellent chicken wings, a great menu, and affordable drinks. He supports community events and various charities in the Burlington area.

Wine in New Jersey? Valenzano Winefest 2010

My very first Winefest EVER! Sure I've visited wineries, did the tour, checked out the grapes, sniffed the barrels, got my free wine glass, but Valenzano Winefest 2010 was so much more!

I chose my friend Keith to be my wine tasting buddy of the day. We paid $12.00 entry as opposed to the $8.00 advanced ticket price because we both have a problem with commitment. (Ok, not really! But we both know that life has a way of happening and sometimes it just doesn't happen the way we expect it to:) So being the typical taking-no-chances-duo, we made our way to the tasting tables because we are also try-every-wine-in-front-of-us-people. Free glass in hands, we were off!

(Keith's looking a bit angelic here. Don't let the clouds fool you.)

We went against all the rules! Valenzano suggests tasting all the dry wines, then move into the semi-sweets, then sweets and fruit blends, then lastly the port. We tried Red, White, and Blue Sangria which is a delightfully sweet blend of red cranberries, white cranberries, and blueberries. (Very clever Valenzano;) Of course the label is in red white and blue berries and corked with an American flag designed cork, I gravitated to the bottle like any Fourth of July "baby" would! Delightfully sweet and oh so delicious and very affordable at $9.99. For every bottle of Sangria sold, $1.00 is donated Operation Troop Aid. (Better get extra!)

Dry wines aren't as bad as I thought. We decided to live by the rules and do it right. I tried the Vidal Blanc and really loved it! A great dinner wine. I also tried the semi-sweet Pinelands Blush and learned it either has to be dry or sweet-- there's no in between for me. Blueberry was very tasty, but not my absolute favorite because of a slightly tart aftertaste.

Let's just face it, I love sweet wine.

Blueberry Bubbly is a wonderful sparkling wine that made me want to buy a case for New Years Eve. The Jersey Devil Port is one of my favorites and I adore the artwork of our very own New Jersey beast on the label. I'm partial to the port when there's snow on the ground. There is a perfect wine for every occasion isn't there?

Valenzano did not forget the kids. The children's section looked very entertaining for the little ones. They had live children's music with sing-a-longs, pony rides, games, face painting and other activities by Studio Lulu. The kids seemed to have a good time.

We really enjoyed music from Gas House Gorillas. (At least we think that was them!) It seemed like perfect wine tasting tunes. We didn't hear South Southern Delta, but I liked their attire--all jazz and blues looking. They had a car show and charities for various dogs. This was truly a dog-friendly event and many people brought their dogs for the day. They offered helicopter rides of the Pine Barrens for a fee--around $50.00 a person, discounted for two and Keith said, "Nuh uh, no way." Not in the flying mood Keith? Maybe some other time.

You could even rent party tables/tents for the day and bring your own picnic and beverages (just no outside alcohol)

Food, Food, Glorious Food! Vendors everywhere! Italian, BBQ, Snacks and Fried Oreos? Keith and I decided that was a heart attack waiting to happen. I'm still curious.

"LUCY! I am not going to be the father of that cheese!" (Ricky Riccardo exclaimed in an old "I Love Lucy" when she tried to smuggle cheese and pretended it was a baby.)
Keith and I never found the cheese tasting. We learned it was at the Pavilion on the opposite side of the field and we were hot and tired. Bummer. He promised me the Diner afterwards so I wouldn't start whining.

We cooled off a couple times by visiting the vendors under a huge tent. Woodworkers, candles, body soaps and lotions, jewelry, toys, sports souvenirs, specialty foods including honey, sauces, spices, gourmet foods, painted glassware, handcrafted items, etc. We ate honey sticks--we each tried some kind of berry and it was yummy! I tried some crab red sauce and thought it was delicious. Also, I found the candle called "Fireside" for Keith to sniff. I had smelled it at another festival last year. No lie, it smells like your fireplace. Neato! but, is that a smell I want? We didn't buy it.

But, we each bought a bottle of Sangria to take home! Wise purchase.

Harvest Festival and Fall Events Calendar 2010 For NJ

The best part of summer for me is when it ends. Ok, so I've never handled the heat well. My parents knew this and Dad, being the practical man that he was would take Mom and us to The Philadelphia Zoo every year on the weekend after Labor Day Weekend because it was usually cooler and less crowded than the summer season. That zoo trip anniversary is today. The zoo was not my first choice for today, 2010. I had my hopes set on Burlington City.



Today, Sept. 11, was The Wood Street Fair in Burlington City and as always I missed it! This makes 3 years of my Wood Street Fair knowledge all for nothing! I quickly recuperated from Wood Street Fair Withdrawal when I realized that the temperature today reached 80 degrees-my ideal temp is 70 and the Fall season has just begun!


Autumn is my favorite season and unlike any other season, I find it appeals to all of my senses-the crisp leaves crunching under my feet as I walk the dogs, the smell of a fireplace, the taste of peach pie and hot apple cider. I want to make homemade soup and I find I'm drawn to New England styled chowders and squash recipes. Fall makes me want to burn candles and cuddle up in a blanket or sweater. It's cozy.


To begin my Fall Festivities, I have decided to venture to Valenzano's Winery in Shamong next weekend on Sept. 18 and 19 for their Winefest with my friend Keith. I discovered their fabulous Jersey Devil Port Wine at the Bordentown Cranberry Fest last year. My sister, Michele Rose a home stager, uses the Jersey Devil bottles in her business. The artwork is fabulous and hey, the Port isn't too bad either! I supply her with her bottles:)
Can't make it to Shamong? Go to Kirby's Mill in Medford for their Flea Market on Sept. 18.


This year, the Bordentown Cranberry Fest on Farnsworth Avenue is on Oct. 2 and 3. I love this festival and intend to go this year. I wheeled Mom in her transport chair last year and found the crowds to be pleasant, the food and wine to be fabulous, and the vendors most professional. This is definitely a family event with a separate street block entirely devoted to kids. I'm so glad sis and I stumbled upon this festival years ago!

This year I am living close to Pemberton where the Pemberton Borough Fall Festival on Hanover Street is taking place on Sept. 25. Pemberton is a tiny town but with a few hotspots that you should know about. If you go to the Fall Festival, don't bother going to Wawa or Burger King for lunch or snacks. Make your way about a mile to Budd's KNP Farmers Market 132 Vincentown Road where they will give you some good home cooking and don't forget to try some ice cream or baked goods. The Grist Mill Antiques Center is a great way to spend some extra hours for browsing around. Clark's Canoe Rental is excellent for the kids to spend a day on Rancocas Creek. The Village Thrift is sponsored by The Christian Caring Center and brand new to "the boro."

Pemberton just isn't your scene? Check out a community event, The Spirit of Chesterfield Festival in the Village of Crosswicks on Sept. 25. There's a 5K run, rummage sale, crafters, vendors, artisans, pony rides, baked goods, pumpkin weight guess, bands, chili cookoff, rummage sale, historic church tours, bands, book sale, antiques, cars, kids games, and more, more, more!

The Yorkshire Alliance East Union Street Yard Sale Burlington City is from 9am-3pm on Sept.26. Eat lunch or dinner at Francesco's Italian Restaurant at 351 High Street. I loved their shrimp and broccoli alfredo. Park in the back and skip dessert because you'll want to walk up to Ummms for ice cream. The snickers chocolate is to die for with freshly made waffle cones. Don't want to drive? Hop on the Riverline.

Don't know what on earth to do with gourds other than carve and pop a candle inside? Westampton at 2 Academy Drive is Bringing Vegetables To the Table: A Celebration of The Harvest on Sept 30 and Oct 1 for $3.00. The focus is on vegetables grown locally in NJ and ways to prepare and enjoy the bounty of autumn vegetables.


Medford is an active community for Fall events. On Oct. 2 Oktoberfest is celebrated from 4pm-8pm on Main Street in Medford.

Oct. 9 go toThe Annual Apple Festival at Kirby's Mill for crafts, vendors, baked goods, and homemade apple ice cream, then head over to Main Street Medford for The Scarecrow Contest and Harvest Festival and Concert!

For over age 16, Oct. 9 from 6pm-11pm is The Witches Ball in Downtown Mount Holly! Costume contests, live music, art, shopping in The Black Market, and find your future at The Gypsy Village. Hear true tales of hauntings from members of South Jersey Ghost Research. Commemorate the evening with a portrait. (Oct.31 is designated for the kids:) Check out The Historic Prison sometime, but not for "Halloween at The Prison" mainly because they do not allow you in the building after a certain time and it is strictly an outdoor event. (I learned this tidbit last year.)

Oct. 16 is the Celtic Cafe Concert at 7pm at the Friends Meeting House on Union Street and on Oct. 30 at 7pm is the Halloween Parade on Main Street in Medford!

On Oct 16 and 17 is The Cranfest in Chatsworth! I've lived close to Chatsworth for many years and have yet to go. It is the third largest Cranberry Festival in the United States and this may be the year I actually make it! There is a small fee for parking. Tons of vendors, food and crafters! Don't miss it!

On Oct. 24, check out the Halloween Parade in Bordentown at 2pm and later on that day go on The Ghost Walk from 6pm - 9pm for $10. Take a ride around town afterwards and check out the decorations for the House Decorating Contest. Raindate is Oct.31.



In Burlington City, go on The Ghost Tour on Oct. 29 or Oct. 30 at 6pm. The Halloween Hoopla is on Oct. 31 from 3pm-5pm.

On Nov.6 from 9am-4pm go to Saint Thomas Greek Orthodox Church for the Holiday Craft and Vendor Sale in Cherry Hill.

Nov. 11 is the Veteran's Day Parade in Burlington City and Home For The Holidays is on Nov. 26 at 6pm. I have no clue what that is, but I think I want to find out!


And in the in-between time? Check out Johnson's Corner Farm on 133 Church Road in Medford for pick-your-own everything! Hayrides are free, taking visitors to the fields for picking. Pay by weight of produce. Recently Johnson's was featured on CBS, The Morning Show.

9/11 A Moment of Silence, Light A Candle

This past year I went out with some friends and somehow 9/11 came up in conversation. One friends response went something like, "It's the past, so what? It's over." I was shocked and mortified! (and oddly, speechless!)



It is in my make up, no, not just my make up but my entire being to never forget my history, our history, Americas history. Was I cut from a diffferent form? Am I the odd one here? History is how we got to the place we are today, including the events of 9/11. Am I the only fool who gets choked up over the thought of our forefathers battling the harsh winter, breaking the ice to paddle up the Delaware River to Trenton to surprise attack the enemy troops? Americas history is what makes an American. Watch the History Channel, "America: The Story of Us." It's how we came to be. 9/11 made us who we are today.



The year after 9/11, the local radio stations and television news reported a scheduled Moment of Silence in memory of those who died because of 9/11, in honor of the brave men and women who fought to rescue and recover the victims, and in honor of the people who meticulously cleaned up Ground Zero. I was on my way home from having bloodwork done and listened closely to the radio, preparing to "Stop Everything" as they said. "Park your car and take a Moment of Silence." I pulled over into the shoulder and had my Moment of Silence as the radio waves went quiet. I prayed and I cried. I looked up to find that only one other car had pulled over, but I felt a camaraderie with just that one person.



Was a Moment of Silence really that important? I've seen footage of people in other countries who participate in a Moment of Silence and am in utter awe. Thousands upon thousands of people unified in Spirit, unified in grief, simply being quiet. Silence is the most humbling and powerful form of unity I've ever seen. Why can't we just be quiet for just one minute?

One minute.

Today marks the 9 year anniversary of 9/11. I haven't forgotten and being the sensitive one that I am, I admit, I get weepy. As suggested on Facebook, I'll be lighting a candle and setting it on my front porch at sunset to burn throughout the night. Nine years ago, when it became apparent that there were no more survivors to be rescued at Ground Zero, the media suggested burning candles on porches. I lived in a condo and burned 3 candles, a red white and a blue. When I walked my dog that night, there were candles all over the neighborhood.

Will you light a candle tonight? Will you have a Moment of Silence?

Has Your House Been Labeled? Top Five Tips To Sell Your House

Hunting for a new house can be so exciting! Potential buyers have a vision of a desired lifestyle, they crave the "perfect" house, they know everything will be better in "the new house." Isn't life grand? They've done everything by the book. They are ready to buy. Their realtor brings them to your house and then? No offer. Why? You may not know it yet, but your home may have just been labeled by the consumer. Or worse, YOU may have been labeled by the consumer!


As a consumer, I have visited Smelly House (not just a smell-- this odor remained on me after a 10 minute drive with all the windows open.) Don't wear open-toed shoes when house hunting! Which brings me to Squirrel House. I wanted to run away crying from that one. There was a home we visited when no sooner in the door I said, "Get out of here quick!" We don't like to discuss that one.



Ok, so maybe your house isn't that bad. But the gross and dirty are not the only houses being labeled by picky buyers. I visited Lightbulb House. Or actually, Lack-of-Lightbulbs House. No lie, the homeowner carried their one lamp into every room we visited. What did the house look like? You got me!?!? Bean and Rice House was a boy at his kitchen table eating beans and rice. Nothing horrible, just a distinct odor really. Pee Pee Bath House obviously had young boys. Nothing a good cleaning couldn't take care of. In Scary Bird House the guy said "not to worry 'cause they don't hurt ya." Not comforting!



There is a whole different list for carpet-- Bleach Stain On Carpet House, Pink Carpet House, No Carpet House, Pea Green Carpet House, Ugly Brown Carpet House, Nasty Carpet House.

I bought a condo that we called The Precious Moments Hallmark Store House. It was fairly clean and kind of smelled like a Hallmark Store. I could see past the cutesie wallpaper. She had a curio of Precious Moments figurines nestled in Easter grass surrounded by a picket fence and stuffed sheep animals. Why didn't that condo sell faster? Didn't exactly send a message of serious seller. She taught kindergarten for a living. I bet she was good at it.





One of my favorites is the Wedding House. Every room has pictures from their big day along with the unity candle, dried flowers, framed invitation, white gloves, the garter, the champagne glasses....the list goes on and on and guess what? No buyer wants to see that! I know it may seem harsh, but they don't care mainly because they weren't there. They simply can't relate.





The most annoying one is The House With Only 3 Bedrooms, But The Realtor Listed 4. How is this going to help the seller and the realtor? I'd really like to know. It didn't help the buyer who needed 4 bedrooms! What a letdown!

So how do you steer clear of being labeled?

My Top Five Suggestions Are:

1. Hire a good stager before you list your house.
How do I know this? I hired one! My sister to be exact. Michele Rose is a realtor and professional home stager. I sold my home in a tough market. And I would have sold sooner had I listened to her price suggestion from the beginning. Live and learn. We settled $100 over her initial price suggestion within 90 days.

Stagers are professionals who come to your home with an objective eye. They view your home as a buyer would and give you suggestions to make your home more appealing "to the masses." They generalize decor and creatively plan how to appeal to home buyers and their senses. It's worth the investment, and you will see a return, whether it be in terms of lesser days on the market or a higher offer than the average seller. Already listed? Never too late! Every house deserves to be staged. EVERY house!

2. Clean it!
De-clutter the home by packing collectibles and "stuff" neatly somewhere out of sight , deep clean the whole house including professional vent cleaning, professionally clean the carpet and floors, clean up the messy paint jobs and touch-ups and such, tidy the gardens, tidy the exterior, and powerwash.

3. Make it special.
Hang nice art in place of all your framed family photos, burn a lightly scented candle, leave some snacks like cookies and punch for potential buyers, fluff some pillows, decorate with hardback books, buy fresh flowers for the entry vase and please have all the lights on so we know you're inviting us to really look at your home.

4. Hide the unmentionables.
Take your pets and all signs of pets (some people don't like pets!) hide the cleaners, toiletries, dirty laundry, medicines, bills and anything with your name on it. This is no longer your home after all, it is your house-- a product that you are selling to a consumer. We don't want to see your cats litter box or your rash cream!

5. Listen to trusted professionals.
If you are not getting showings after you have completed a professional staging and you have "done everything right," and your realtor has marketed your home appropriately, then you may need to lower your price. It's hard to hear, but it's true and it gets you to where you want to be-- sold and moved!

By the way, when I was selling my house, it was labeled The Clean House. Now that's the kind of label I can live with!

Father's Day in Willingboro, NJ, BBQ Rib Recipe from Trisha Yearwood's Cousin Fred

Before Father's Day as teens and young adults, my sister and I would leaf through sales flyers. Our primary goal? To find camping equipment as we prepared for the annual Creation Festival at Agape Farm in Mount Union, Pa. We lost track of exactly how many times we went to "Creationfest" over the years, but I believe the count is about 14. A Christian Festival where participants camp with about 80,000 other campers, we would prepare for weeks with lists, shopping and plans knowing we would be united with other Christians in celebrating our Father.



I confess, Father's Day has not been a huge celebration day in my family. Dad and Mom had divorced when I was 15. He had left the day before my 14th birthday. Every June we were distracted by the excitement of celebrating God our Creator, our other Father. Dad wasn't in touch with us, and after some attempts, we were not in touch with him either.

Years later, after a long life, Dad phoned us, and worked his way back into our lives. So when he died, we all, including Mom, had built a relationship with him that was on the mend, wounds still healing. With Dad's estate money, I was able to move to a house in Willingboro from a small condo in Jackson, NJ. It is in Willingboro where I witnessed the art of celebrating Dad through the beloved BBQ.

Willingboro is very community-oriented despite the high population of over 30,000 everyone seems to know one another. I intend to move back to the area eventually, if not to Willingboro, at least close to it. Mom moved there a couple years ago and she has the best neighbors ever. Shop Rite on JFK Blvd. is a shoppers meeting place before every holiday and before Father's Day everyone is buying steak, ribs, BBQ sauces, the ingredients for collards, macaroni and cheese, fresh salads, chips, soda... you name it! I still drive over 20 miles to do all of my grocery shopping there.

Willingboro knows how to party, they know a good BBQ. I lived there for over 4 years and every Father's Day there is not a street without the smoky aroma of fresh barbecue, the sounds of music and children laughing, cars parked all along the curbs and a general knowledge that Dad is being celebrated today, Father's Day. I miss it. When I heard a lawnmower start around 1pm, I knew that Dad had already been to church with his family, Mom was preparing the salads and side dishes and Dad was doing what he always did every Sunday afternoon, mow the lawn. The difference is on that day, Father's Day, Dad would sit in an honorary lawn chair on his freshly mowed lawn eating his BBQ dinner with his family.

My Creation Festival days are a thing of the past. We attended in 1999 and camped in the handicapped section. It was a rough trip and we knew it was probably our last, leaving us to celebrate our Father in other ways. Likewise, I will never have a Father's Day celebration with my Dad. I've missed many Father's Days but I like to think that if he were still here, I would have tried a recipe such as the following. Let me know if you try it and Happy Father's Day!

From Country Living Magazine, Trisha Yearwood's Cousin Fred's Barbecued Pork Ribs

(For 12 servings, about 25 minutes working time and 5 hours total time)

6 lbs meaty pork rib slabs

4 tbls of seasoned salt

4 tbls of lemon-pepper seasoning (Lawry's)

1 cup lemon juice

1 cup apple cider vinegar

2 tbls Worcestershire sauce

Preheat electric or gas grill to 250 degrees. Rub both sides of pork with seasoned salt and lemon pepper. Place rib sections on grill.
In small bowl, mix lemon juice, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce to make Fred's special spray. Transfer mixture to a food-safe spray bottle and spritz ribs.

Cook ribs until they are browned, flipping occasionally and spritzing often about 1 1/2 hours. Put ribs in a 4 inch deep stainless steel pan with a lid. Spritz ribs once more and close lid completely. Increase grill temperature to 300 degrees and cook for 3 more hours.

Prospectors Grille and Saloon, Restaurant and Bar in Mount Laurel, New Jersey

In a Wawa in Pemberton Boro, I spotted a guy wearing a big black cowboy hat, a huge belt buckle keeping the already tight-fitted jeans up, matching cowboy boots and a white shirt with shiny embellishments that looked like he had been the victim of The Bedazzler. I admit, I don't quite get it. Country line dancing, western clothing- I truly am not a fan, however add steak to the mix and I may become a believer in all that is country.

Prosepectors Grille and Saloon located in Mount Laurel, NJ on Route 38 will bring out the cowboy or cowgirl in anyone. My sister Michele Rose and our good friend Rick, decided to try this steakhouse known for it's big produce bar (salad bar) smoky steaks, and country western atmosphere. Thursday's Special is the Mesquite T-Bone Steak and we couldn't have been more pleased. Grilled to perfection with choice of soup, side salad or produce bar plus a side dish for $18.99. We added bourbon sauce which we think had a hint of mint and very yummy. The baked potatoes were huge and again, perfect. Along with your meal, they bring a basket of rolls that have a sweet butter taste and were absolutely excellent. We opted to try their new appetizer, Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Chips, very similar to that of TGIFridays. We decided it didn't quite live up to TGIF's though it was tasty. Personally, I would have added a touch of garlic, onion and some fresh cracked pepper.

The Produce Bar is a whole other story. Packed with fresh greens of spring mix, romaine, spinach, fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, pastas, dressings, toppings, and more, trust me, you could make a meal of it for their price of $9.99. They even had cubed grilled chicken to add to your already hearty salad.

Honestly, I want to go back and just order the salad bar (or more appropriately, The Produce Bar.)

Along with great food and atmosphere, Prospectors holds events in The Club, and at The Pavillion which is an open air type of bar. Their calendar is posted on their personal website, http://www.prospectorsrestaurant.com/

Prospectors offers a full Lunch and Dinner Menu, Produce Bar, Appetizers, Burgers, Sandwiches, Steaks, Seafood, Pastas, Chicken, Ribs, Combinations and even Meatloaf! A fantastic looking dessert tray was passed up by us after this very satisfying meal. Next time, I'll save some room for dessert.
