May 5
...serving up your daily dish.
It's that time of year again, when proud homeowners show off their homes and gardens. Put on your comfortable shoes, if you plan to take the Essex Fells Kitchen Tour next week, or do the circuit for the Women's Club of Glen Ridge 21st Annual House Tour this weekend.
Here's what you'll see in Glen Ridge:
The Tour houses remain a secret until the tickets are either mailed out or purchased. This is what keeps the Tour a fun surprise for all those who participate. The houses this year can be described as "distinctive and interesting in their own separate ways, with one or more unusual to the ordinary Glen Ridge home". All pictures of the inside of the homes are at the owner's discretion and will be allowed, or not allowed, the day of the Tour.
Well, as you can see, we can't tell or show you what you'll see on the Glen Ridge House Tour, which costs $30 and goes from 2 to 5 pm. We hear from unofficial sources that the Schades have decided to pull their house off the tour, but who knows? Signs will go up in front yards in town on Saturday morning, so if the Schade house is what you really want to see, you can find out then. There's also a luncheon reception from noon to 2 ($20) and a jazz cocktail reception from 5 to 8 pm ($15). For more info, call the Women's Club 973.748.5459 or drop by Saturday, 219 Ridgewood Ave., Glen Ridge, to buy tickets.
And if you haven't had enough already, plan to inspect the nicest kitchens in Essex Fells.
The Essex Fells Gourmet Kitchen tour takes place Thursday, May 11, 10-2 , rain or shine. Besides seeing several kitchens which incorporate latest in kitchen design trends, there will be chefs from Milan, Fascino, Il Tulipano and LuNello's holding cooking demonstrations. Kitchen designers/suppliers will be on hand to answer your questions.
Tickets are limited! $35. Makes checks payable to EFFEE and mail to PO box 174 , Essex Fells, NJ 07021. Sponsored by Essex Fells PTA and Essex Fells Foundation for Educational Excellence.
And if you're too tired to do the walking, we can recommend this.
