Buonissimo's in Montco
The new place near Skippack & Dekalb pikes opened over the weekend, so I went last night to try them out. The interior is gourmet deli style - cases of nicely prepared & presented dishes, a few tables, and a cheery yellow interior. Reminded me of the small roadside eateries I saw in Italy.
I sampled the zuchinni ripeni, the eggplant polpette and the caprese salad. The zuchinni ripene was my favorite, stuffed with ground veal and cheese. The flavors were balanced, and it was very satisfying. The eggplant was a unique presentation: chunks formed into balls, breaded and lightyly sauteeed. I added some red sauce to top them off. The caprese was as it should be - the tastes of summer tomatoes & basil between layers of fresh mozz. My son had the pork belly, which he said was the best he had ever tasted. LOL - I didn't even get a bite, so I will have to try again.
I saw, but didn't try, an assortment of yummy looking breads, as well as pastries & coffee service for breakfast.
The pleasant surprise here is the pricing - eggplant & salad wer $4, zuchinini & pork belly were $8. Beat that in Montgomery County! This seems like a great new spot for a quick bite, or some delicious & healthy take out for lunch & dinner.
Sounds like this place is just the ticket for this warm weather. Thanks for the heads up truffles.
re: crazyspice
Wonderful review truffles. It does sound like it is more set up for take away food rather than dine in. Their prices are very reasonable. Their pizza selection is quite interesting and a personal pizza is only seven dollars.
How would you compare it to Taste of Italy in Spring House?
http://www.buonissimobluebell.com/ is their web site.
re: cwdonald
Never been to Taste of Italy, I'll put that on my list.
Taste of Italy
5172 US Highway 9, Howell, NJ 07731
I sent a text to one of my colleagues after I saw this post. She lives in Blue Bell and an hour later was there trying out a number of things. Caesar and a couple of Panini choices. Reports back that everything was tasty and the prices were great. I have to learn to keep my text shut!
452 Route 37 E, Toms River, NJ 08753
re: AmblerGirl
You could absolutely do both. There are about 8 - 10 tables (4 seaters.) Didn't mean to give the impression you couldn't eat there. Thinking back, I probably said that because the room is pretty spacious. They probably could fit more tables in there if they wanted to.
re: truffles2
Return trip last night. Had the procuitto pizza, which was great and came on a thicker crust which still managed to be crispy on the outside. But let's talk about breakfast. Oh, the muffins! Took some apple and some banana. Can you say moist and full of flavor? I am kind of picky about banana muffins in particular because they are my favorite. These were excellent!
Truffles, thanks so much for the rec for this place! we went last week and it was fantastic! We got the porchetta sandwich as well as a proscuitto and fresh mozarella sandwich a side salad and a side of brocolli rabe for a picnic lunch and everything was fantastic, fresh ingredients, huge portions. We also could not resist the call of the cheese case so got some roasted pepper cheese and proscuitto for our picnic too. While we waited we tried their coffee and homemade apple cake (which rivals my grandmom's!). Prices were great,all of that was around $35. We went early so the place was empty and we spoke a bit to the manager (maybe owner?) and chef and both were extremely friendly and seemed realy excited about the food and ingredients. this may become a regular spot for me...
re: jujuthomas
It's a shame that they don't have "real" breakfast. Blue Bell is in dire need of a really good breakfast place.
Maybe I should hit there today to stock up for the hurricane. I like the idea of eating really well even if the power goes out.
re: Bacchus101
I pass the place all the time, and I have yet to stop. Looks to me as though I need to try this place.
stopped by for take out last night and had:
Manzo Panini- Roasted beef, asiago and mushroom.
This was delicious and HUGE! Only negative was there was also broccoli rabe on the sandwich which was not listed on the online menu so it made my order of a side of it pretty redundant.
Personal ABBRUZZESE Pizza- fresh ricotta, fresh tomato and basil
This was more doughy and soft style while I prefer a thinner crisp style, toppings and sauce was very tasty regardless.
EGGPLANTS ROLLS- Roasted eggplant stuffed with cheese and prosciutto
This was the star of the show, 3 rolls for $4 in an amazing sauce. I sopped every last drop of the sauce up with my panini, couldn't get enough of it!
was a bunch of food for ~$20, totally looking forward to going again.
edit: was bummed there was no cannolis in the bakery case, do those of you who have been before know if they usually have some?
My initial sampling was not nearly as extensive as others reviewed here. Just one Bruschetta and a Three Kings Cold Panini. The owner/manager reviewed Items in the case which are made in small batches to insure freshness; some very tempting items. Nice environs, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. The 3 Kings was very good with good quality Prosciutto ,Coppa, Salami, Sharp Provolone, Lettuce and tomato. The panini bread was excellent. One small negative on the tomatoes. With the availability of fresh why use pale wax-like ones???
The Bruschetta was very freshly made, probably upon order, not a fan of the small hard breads, and the same tomatoes. The place, the people, the case items and the 3 Kings will have me returning. Surely worth your patronage!

You're quite right. But I guess since just about everyone who will see Part I is also going to see Part II, I'm not sure I feel awfully cheated by it. What do others think?
You're quite right. But I guess since just about everyone who will see Part I is also going to see Part II, I'm not sure I feel awfully cheated by it. What do others think?
Actually, the Potter books are among the most challenged in the country by parents who feel that because of the wizarding content, they should not be on library shelves. I think every parent should make these individual decision for themselves obviously. But I think the reason that my kids will, as parents, read the Potter books to their kids, is because they are fundamentally about the battle between good and evil. They provide a road map for dealing with adversity ... although one can certainly hope that none of our kids ever encounter as much adversity as Harry and his kin do. I think Rowling includes many literary references in her books, including biblical ones
Of the three main child characters, which has the best chance of having a legitimate acting career post- Hogwarts? I just haven't seen any of them in anything other than Potter movies or tabloids.
I have to say that the three of them are AMAZING in this movie. It is not a film about affects or action, really. It's a character driven vehicle and if any one of them had been cheesy, it would have fallen apart. It is played in close-ups and they are so affecting. There's a moment very early on when Hermione is leaving her parents and the look on Emma Watson's face is riveting. The problem, of course, is to what extent can you see Radcliffe and not think Harry. But the three of them have pulled off TERRIFIC, nuanced, sublte performances that show they are actors worthy of careers.
This was a rich topic with the kids I saw the movie with. There are favorite scenes from the books that don't make it into the movie (I wish the scene where Dudley and Harry say goodbye had been included), but I think the movies stand as works with artistic merit. The first two were literally true to the books. I think since Prisoner of Azkaban, they have been aesthetically true to the spirit of the books. So, are there scenes you will miss; sure. But I don't think many people will feel that the movie doesn't do justice to the book ... or rather the first 2/3 of the book.
I gotta be honest. I saw the movie the first time last Thursday in advance of my interview with Felton and I saw it in a screening room, not a big theater and I spent the rest of the day feeling bereft because it is such an emotionally draining movie and it ends without the payoff. It's as if someone gave you the book, let you read 2/3 of it and then took it away from you. But when I saw it on Monday in a theater full of people, there seemed to be a greater sense of being on a journey. All I can say is that Part II has so much good stuff to cover that I hope they do it justice, but I'm sure they will.
And Rupert Grint has done a few movies. And of course Ralph Fiennes, Alan Rickman and others had rich careers before the series. I do think part of what is so affecting about this movie, at least to me as a mother, was to see these kids fully grown. Should have said this before, but Radcliffe is great in the graveyard scene. It would have been so easy to overplay it.
Do you know of any theaters that will offer adults-only showings? I know it is a 'kids' movie (although from what I hear this one is pretty significantly more mature), but adults like the series, too. And unfortunately, even going to a 10 p.m. or later showing does not guarantee a child-free experience. (I went to see the Passion of the Christ at 11-something-pm, and was shocked at the number of children, I don't mean teenagers, but under-10 children, in the theater.)
I'm not sure that you can technically have an "adults only screening" although there are some theaters having 3 a.m. or 3:30 a.m. screenings tomorrow morning. Probably a safe bet that you won't have too many 10-year-olds there.
On that subject, it is rated PG-13 mostly for the themes of loss and despair that permeate the movie. There are laugh lines to be sure (the seven harrys is wicked). But it's not a movie for 7-year-olds, not because of violence or the necking or anything like that, but just because it's too profound for them.
They were filmed back to back. Although they are still tweaking Part II and David Yates has said that he may bring everyone back to shoot a few scenes in December. But by and large the second movie is in post production.
Oh I think they have to the epilogue, in my humble opinion. (What Harry and Ginny named their son totally got me!) And I think they'll find a very creative way to handle it. (The way they render the Tale of the Three Brothers as a fairy tale is truly lovely.
Hi Tracy, thanks for taking my question. I love the Harry Potter books and movies. I am going to the midnight showing tonight and so excited about it. I been reading the reviews and sounds like it's emotionally charged film. Should I bring tissue to the movie? :)
I sobbed through much of it the first time I saw it. But again that was not in a full theater. It was a very limited screening. So it may not be a three-hanky movie for everyone, but definitely tuck a tissue in your cape pocket!
What are the chances of being able to watch both parts of the movie back to back in a theater when part 2 comes out?
I believe there are some theaters that tonight are screening movies 5, 6 and 7 back t0 back to back. So I'm absolutely certain that they will re-release Part I for an uber double-feature experience. My 14-year-old son has predicted (correctly, I'm sure) that the two movies will be released in one DVD combo pack. For what it's worth, when I talked to Tom Felton, he said that he and the entire cast thought the "two movie" approach was the right one because there was no way they could do justice to it in one movie. (Certainly not in one movie of less than 4.5 hours!)
Tough question, but I think that Ann Hornaday makes a compelling point in her review today that Emma Watson comes into her own in this film. But it's just by a nose. This is a Harry-Ron-Hermione vehicle. Nobody else is in more than two scenes. The success of the movie rested completely on their ability to make us believe their relationship, their pain, their kinship.
Actually, I think there was much more snogging in six, with the Harry/Ginny story line. There's one Harry/Ginny snogging scene but that scene is completely stolen by Fred (or is it George?). There's a very tender dancing scene involving Harry and Hermione in the forest but it is the definition of "just friends" and then there's the "necking" scene that plays out of Ron's fears as he's trying to destroy the horcrux. It's very stylized.
It's darker because there's no escaping that this is the windup for the epic battle. And while we all know how it ends, everyone in the movie does a darn good job of convincing us that THEY don't know how it ends. The time in the forest and the visit to Godric's Hollow is just bleak and sad and painful to watch. But it's all those things because you care so deeply about the characters and because the actors and director and screenwriter have been so true to the heart and soul of the story.
This is a total no brainer for me. You read the books first. It's the source material. I think the movies are terrific but let's not forget that this is J.K. Rowling's world. I have twin sons and we started reading the first book as a read-aloud when they were 7. We finished the last book the summer when they were 11 and I wish every kid could have four years of their childhood's defined by the excitement of what was happening next. I think part of the problem is that many 7-year-olds can read the first book on their own but because they are all published now, they are reading the later books as 7 or 8-year-olds and they haven't had the chance to grow up that harry has.
Dudley's in the movie, for the blink of an eye. Actually, it's Neville (who is also in for just the blink of an eye) who looks like he's grown about two feet and slimmed down.
I'm not sure I agree. It is ultimately Harry's movie and I don't consider him a ginger. But Fred and George (who again are only in a handful of scenes) do steal the ones they're in. (You may never think of a toothbrush quite the same way after seeing this movie).
They arleady filmed the epilogue, and actually are going back to refilm parts of it again because they couldn't get everything the way they wanted the first time, since it was filmed at the train station while the station was operating.
That may in fact be one of the scenes that Yates wants to redo and that scene would probably be easier to reshoot than say the battle. (If Mrs. Weasley doesn't get to use the b-word when she's fighting Bellatrix, I will be totally bummed).
" But the three of them have pulled off TERRIFIC, nuanced, subtle performances that show they are actors worthy of careers." I saw Radcliffe in Equus two years ago--he was incredible. A very, very assured, strong performance. He is going to do just fine, pos-HP.
A number of people have written in to say that Radcliffe was great in Equus. And I really hope he has a great career, but let's face it, we all know what's the first line of his obit.
Not sure where Where to Watch is located, but there are some over-18-only theaters in the U.S. -- generally the more upscale places or the theaters like the Cinema and Drafthouse in Arlington (assuming it's still there). He might want to check out places like that.
Just checked and Cinema and Drafthouse, which is still around, isn't screening it. I understand the anti-kid sentiment but honestly, I think once the strains of the music kick in, everyone will be glued to the screen
The epilogue was definitely not the last thing she wrote. And I have to say that I think the beauty of these books is how tightly woven they are. How a seemingly passing reference in book 2 becomes an integral part of book 6. I think lots of people were worried that book 7 couldn't possibly live up to expectations and the fact that it exceeded them speaks for her talent as an author. Is she capable of a clunkily turned phrase? Yes, absolutely. But if there's anything more beautiful or moving or satisfying than the Snape chapter in book 7, I'm not sure what it would be.
I can see where that would be true. Harry seems to have shed all vestiges of boyhood in this one. That's not quite true of Ron, but that's part of his charm. You think that Ron will never quite really grow up.
Regarding the future of the three main actors, I saw Dan Radcliffe in Equus, and not once did I think "Harry " He's grown a lot in his acting abilities and is taking on new challenging roles, and I think he'll do just fine. Rupert, as well, has taken on roles that vary greatly from his character in HP and should do fine with his career as well. Not sure about Emma because she hasn't done as much outside HP, but she has a lot of other irons in the fire.
We'll see. But for now, go and enjoy these really fine young actors truly inhabiting their characters.
Amen. I think there would be a riot if someone's cell went off during this movie

Joey + Rory – "This Song's For You"
Joey Martin and Rory Lee Feek are nothing if not straightforward. Their upcoming sophomore album is titled Album Number 2, and their leadoff single–which is available as a free download on their website–is called "This Song's for You."
Who's the "you" that Joey + Rory (joined on the bridge by tour mate Zac Brown, who wrote the song with Feek) are saluting? Honest workers, churchgoers, beer drinkers, hellraisers, patriots, fans of "as real as it comes" country music, concert attendees, and anyone who's ever lost a friend or had his or her heart broken. So…that's just about everybody, right?
While the sentiment is a nice one, and all three singers are very sincere in their delivery (a sincerity that's reinforced by offering the MP3 to their fans for free), the song, which includes the clunker "We're up on this stage/But you're the star" is at times cringe-inducing in its cheesiness and, to some ears, nudges a toe over the line separating appreciation and pandering.
"This Song's for You" is worthy of a sideways thumb, if that were an option: it is well sung–especially by Feek, who, in alternating vocals with his wife, sings on this song more than he did on the entirety of The Life of a Song, and the arrangement, bolstered by plenty of pedal steel, is pleasantly neotraditional. Aside from what's mentioned above, the lyrics aren't half bad, with the best being "If you wish we didn't have to go and send our boys to war/But you still think this country of ours is sure worth dyin' for."
There are catchier, better written songs on Album Number Two that might serve as stronger singles, or, at the very least, show a little more of Joey + Rory's vibrant personalities than this generic song displays. The combo of Martin, Feek, and Brown–who sound excellent together, it must be said–isn't quite enough to save "This Song" from drowning in syrup.

Very fair review. I like this song from them better than I likely would from anyone else, but I can't disagree with your observations. I've noticed that this song is what "To Say Goodbye" is to their debut album. It doesn't quite fit with the rest of the album.
Yes, it would have been worthy of a sideways thumb, since there are quite a few good reasons to like it. It's good to hear Rory do more singing.
But I still think they should have stuck with "That's Important to Me" as the album's first single. That one was much better than this.
That's how I feel too, Leeann. I really like J+R and I really wanted to like this single, but it isn't their best work, IMO.
No, it's not their best work. But I would guess that they might have thought it was more like what country radio would want, and they do really need to have a hit. If it does get them noticed at country radio, then it might pave the way for some of their better music to get some exposure as well.
Love J+R, but agree 100% with the review. Really, really cheesy stuff. But my wife, listening over my shoulder, liked it. So, maybe it works – just not for me.
@Juli — I'm in full agreement. Love J+R but this song just doesn't do it for me. I'm hoping for much stronger material on the disc!
Yeah, I find this song pleasant, but ultimately leaves me cold. My boyfriend likened it to We're Sending Our Love Down the Well from The Simpsons.
@SamB — HUUUUUUGE props for the Simpsons reference!
My boyfriend likened it to We're Sending Our Love Down the Well from The Simpsons.
If there were a Comment of the Day Award, that would win. I raise my can of Duff to you and your boyfriend.
I love J+R and have listened to their debut album hundreds of times…. but this song is horrible.
I like this song, and I really would love to see it do well on country radio for them. Its not my favorite song of their's, and I'm sure when the album is released that this song won't be one of my favorites, but I do like it.
This song doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of garnering any significant Top 40 airplay. It just drags along at a frustrating pace that is slower than this song naturally should proceed at. Mainstream country radio hasn't been too big on songs that plod along like a funeral dirge, well since never…
They should have just lifted "The Cowboy's Mine" off Joey's "Strong Enough To Cry" album and sent that to radio! When AirHead country radio programmers reject a great country song at least you know it wasn't the song's fault.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Matt Adams had a two-run home run and the Cardinals broke open a tight game with four in the eighth to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Wednesday night.
The Cardinals won their fifth consecutive game to maintain a one-game lead over Pittsburgh and a three-game advantage on Cincinnati in the NL Central. The Pirates finished a three-game sweep at Texas and the Reds knocked off the Chicago Cubs earlier in the day.
Milwaukee has lost three of five.
Brandon Kintzler (3-2) gave up three runs on two hits and a walk while only getting two outs.
Carlos Beltran's sacrifice fly off Michael Gonzalez scored Matt Carpenter to give the Cardinals a 2-1 lead. An error by catcher Jonathan Lucroy allowed Jon Jay to score and Adams followed with his 12th homer of the season.
Trevor Rosenthal (2-3) had a hitless eighth inning for the win.

Book Description:
Ruined! No one could ever accuse Rebecca Tremaine of being a proper young lady. She's wretched at embroidery, pitiful at the pianoforte, and entirely too informed about the human body, courtesy of her father's scientific journals. And now she's been compromised by a dandy she despises! When her parents arrange a hasty marriage, there is only one man she can turn to for help. Rescued! No one knows that Irish groom Connor Riordan is the fifth Duke of Dunbrooke, "killed" in action at Waterloo, and he wants it to stay that way. But a true gentleman never turns away a damsel in distress. Soon Connor and Rebecca dash away-only to be pursued by bumbling highwaymen, a scheming duchess, and Rebecca's fiance. Ravished! Being with the beautiful and desirable Rebecca jeopardizes Connor's secret every day-and tests his willpower every night. For if ever there was a reason to bring the Duke of Dunbrooke back from the dead, it would be to make Miss Tremaine his Duchess!

Asus punts monitor with built-in TV tuner
Most if not all HD TVs now have computer VGA and/or DVI connections, but that hasn't stopped Asus coming at the problem from the other direction and introducing a boundary blurring monitor that has a built-in TV tuner. TV Monitor T1 Series comes in 21.5in, 23.6in and 27in sizes but all of them deliver a 1920 x 1080 resolution. …
This isn't new
Samsung and LG have been offering monitors with digital TV decoders and extra input types for a while, as have a lot of cheap manufacturers. You only need to browse eBuyer/Dabs/Scan/etc to see a long list of these. Still, extra competition means cheaper prices, and it's an obvious feature to add for consumer purchasers.
So when will there be a comparative review?
Next they'll be selling cameras with built in phones....
Its probably not intended for the workplace market but if i manged to sneak one of these onto my desk at work when my current monitor has an "accident", I guess I'll still need a coax lead to an ariel on the roof, which would be hard to get sorted except for the boss.
Leaving aside fitting some kind of PVR, which rather misses the point, does anyone have any ideas how to solve this or do these come with an internal ariel that will pick up TV, perhaps digital when the signal is boosted post analogue switch off?

Kia readying GT and convertible Soul models?
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Aug 23rd, 2012 at 2:16PM
Be it the upright seating arrangement, the utility in a compact package, or just buyers captivated by dancing hamsters, the Kia Soul has proven to be one of the Korean automaker's best-selling models. Its popularity has driven Kia to renew the funky hatch for the 2014 model year, perhaps with some unexpected variants. The sleuths at CarPix have nabbed the next Soul testing in the desert, and even with the camouflage disguise, our spies say it looks like the redesign has left the Soul slightly lower and a little wider. Additionally, the headlights have a more squared-off, masculine... Read More


text: Ukraine-Russia Enter 'Military Stage' of Conflict, Claims PM Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart London 18 Mar 2014 post a comment Ukraine's Western-backed prime minister said on Tuesday that his country's conflict with Russia was entering a "military stage" following claims by Kiev that one of its officers was shot and wounded in Crimea's largest city, Simferopol. "The conflict is shifting from a political to a military stage," Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told an emergency government meeting. "Russian soldiers have started shooting at Ukrainian military servicemen, and that is a war crime." Reports state that Ukrainian troops are currently being attacked by Russian forces, following information provided by the Interfax news agency which quoted a Ukrainian military spokesman. "One Ukrainian serviceman has been wounded in the neck and collarbone. Now we have barricaded ourselves on the second floor. The headquarters has been taken and the commander has been taken. They want us to put down our arms but we do not intend to surrender," he said. "We are being stormed. We have about 20 people here and about 10 to 15 others, including women," an unidentified serviceman told Fifth Channel television. "One of our officers was wounded during the attack, grazed in the neck and arm." Earlier today, Russia President Putin signed the treaty with Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Aksyonov and other Crimean leaders at a ceremony at the Kremlin attended by both houses of parliament. Lawmakers, who still have to ratify the treaty, broke into applause and cheers after the signing. The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it now considers Crimea part of Russia following the signing of a treaty, despite strong objections from the international community which insists the Black Sea peninsula is Ukrainian territory. Meanwhile, politicians in Moldova's breakaway region of Transnistria have asked the Russian parliament to allow their territory to join the Russian Federation. The region, also known as Trans-Dniester, forms the part of Moldova on the east bank of the Dniester river. It declared independence from Moldova as the Soviet Union collapsed in the early 1990s, but no state has ever recognised it. Former UK Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind, who chairs the British parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee, told the BBC this morning, "All that the international community has done so far is implement visa sanctions and asset freezes on 22 or 23 individuals - that is a pathetic response".
