Rosedale, Maryland: The Mallow Bar

Feeling for something different? Hmmh that sounds good, but what? What could you try?  Well, MCCN has a suggestion for you that is sweet, different, and oh so good! Mallow Munchies (now called Mallow Crunchies) is just the ticket.

Mallow what?Mallow Crunchies* are a delightful spin on rice crispy treats. I discovered these delicious little savories when I went to the Health Care for the Homeless Chocolate Affair in 2010 and boy-oh-boy was I surprised at how delicious it was. Mallow Crunchies owner, Nikki Lewis, and her husband were working together handing out the snacks, and let’s just say my “sampling” was downright embarassing, yet I had no shame. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who thought Nikki Lewis’ treat  was on the money; they were voted ”Baltimore’s Best Sweet Snack” in 2010, by Baltimore Magazine.

Diddy and Lopez at Phillipe Chow Restaurant?

Let me stress the rumor mill has it that P. Diddy and Jennifer Lopez were spotted at Phillipe Chow’s restaurant in New York.  The Restaurant has locations including Miami, West Hollywood and  Jericho.  According to the Urbandaily.com “Last week, Diddy and JLo were spotted out on a date at Phillipe Chows. Diddy entered the restaurant and went to the private area, JLo followed 20 minutes later.”  There are other contradicting reports as to if the word date should be used.  

Nevertheless, we thought it was a good time to find out more about Phillipe Chow Restaurant.  The restaurant offers cooking classes.  The featured cuisine is

lettuce wrap

Chinese.   Among the highly acclaimed items on the menu are the Chicken Satay and Peking Duck.   The restaurants often are frequented by celebs.  - written by Crystal J, MCCN Editor

Travel: Where to Dine in Myrtle Beach

As soon as Memorial Day  hits, Myrtle Beach is one of the favorite destinations for USA East Coast folks.  It is very family oriented.  Off of Kings Highway there are rides.    There are lots of theaters. There are no shortage of seafood restaurants and especially seafood buffets.

I dined at a restaurant which looks like a house called the Sea Captain Restaurant.  I order the seafood platter consisting of small tasty hush puppies, flavorful fried oysters, flounder and shrimp.  All the seafood tastes fresh.   My dining companion ordered the Lemon Curd pie for dessert.  This is a restaurant with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. – Report from Patsy Johnson of Norfolk, VA.
