Brent Walton took up barbecuing as a hobby ten years ago to help him recover from his first heart attack. In April, another attack ended his life, but his legacy lives on at the QN4U BBQ House in Clovis.

When I was asked to do a review of the Italian restaurant Valentino’s, I was excited because many family members have experienced their food both at its new location in downtown Reedley and when the restaurant resided on Manning across from Savemart.

When families come together to celebrate the Easter or Passover holidays this spring, favorite family dishes are sure to appear. For Quinn S. and her husband Ray H., an Easter brunch brings three generations from both families to the table. Certain dishes, like Grandma H.’s potato salad and an egg and sausage strata must be on the menu.

On my trip to Ireland several years ago we landed at the Dublin airport in weather that the Irish refer to as a soft day. By this they mean a rainy day. It was an early morning arrival and the dining hall in the hotel was closed. So, we fell onto our bed in the small but efficient room and took a nap.

J’s Sports Bar and Grill in Dinuba is decorated specifically to engage you while watching a game on T.V. After I was seated, I perused the menu looking for something that caught my eye. I finally decided on the turkey sandwich: thinly sliced oven roasted turkey on a French roll with baby leaf lettuce, sliced tomatoes, provolone, roasted red peppers and chipotle mayonnaise.

One of my favorite memories of my grandmother is that of her bottomless cookie jar. Grandma’s cookie jar was always full of snicker doodles, chocolate chip, peanut butter, or my favorite, Oatmeal Crunchies. The old black, crockery jar was shaped like a bean pot and had painted red cherries arching across its front. It sat on the counter just inside the kitchen door, which made it handy for marauding grandchildren. My brother, Bill, was caught red-handed one day and dropped the cookie jar lid on the floor, where it broke in half.

If you take 180 east, past Sanger, past the house I lived in for 27 years before CalTrans tore it down (Am I bitter?), past Centerville, and past Minkler, you will find a beautiful, old, red-brick schoolhouse, the (oddly enough) School House Restaurant & Tavern.

Soon the house will awaken and I will start making noise. My tea and honey have been quiet and my morning reading virtually silent. I get loud when I start stirring around the kitchen. I have choices, many of them. I can have whole grain pancakes, rice cakes, something with corn meal, oats with fruit and nuts, or maybe something on the skillet.

This shopping district bills itself as “a world away from the ordinary, a block away from the beach.” It’s about a mile long walk from Pico Boulevard south to Navy Street.
