Eating Connecticut: Boho in Litchfield Co: Bohemian Pizza

September 3, 2011 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry 5 Comments
Bohemian Pizza exterior

Bohemian Pizza is a fixture in Litchfield, Connecticut. Which is quite an oddity since it’s pretty much the opposite of what Litchfield stands for. In a community full of the well-to-do, with a high concentration of stately, historic homes and a ban on fast food restaurants, Bohemian Pizza sticks out like a sore thumb–and that’s … [Read more…]

Connecticut Wine Festival

Connecticut Wine Festival

The last weekend of July found 14 of Connecticut’s vineyards sharing their wares at the Connecticut Wine Festival. Patrons lined up at the gates of the Goshen Fairgrounds, eager to sample the finest wine Connecticut has to offer. The Big Guy and I are certainly not wine connoisseurs, only dabbling in the $10 or less … [Read more…]

What To Do, What To Do?

December 8, 2010 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry Leave a Comment

The weekend edition, a little early. Skiers in Connecticut can rejoice! Ski Sundown is planning on opening for the season on Friday at 9AM and rumor has it that Mohawk will be opening Saturday at 8:30AM. Sundown will have side-to-side coverage–no white ribbon of death here!–and if the weather cooperates, they may even have moguls … [Read more…]

Going the way of Templeton… Southington Apple Harvest Festival

October 10, 2010 by Carrie @ poet in the pantry Leave a Comment
Southington Apple Harvest

  I managed to avoid the numerous fairs this season. You know, Connecticut has at least one during every weekend from late August until late October, and we’re not far from the Big E either. I love the idea of fairs–but the reality is often frustrating. Congested parking (sometimes with exorbitant fees), high admission costs, … [Read more…]
