In recent weeks, I’ve enjoyed bringing you a selection of tasty appetizer posts as a preview of what tantalized my tongue and whet my appetite at this year’s Summer Fancy Food Show — which took place at NYC’s Javits Center in late June. But you know, good things take time, which is my excuse for taking a minute to fully digest this spectacularly food-centric event so that I can bring you a full and satisfying meal that is my Ultimate Photo Recap of deliciousness. Let’s dig right in to my two full days of grazing like a free-range cow at SFFS 2025 — I’m sure you’ll agree it was worth the wait!

Dear Readers, I bring you proof that there truly is a tea for everything — even menopause. Let it Be (yes, that’s the actual company name, Beatles fans!) makes a hibiscus flower herbal tea blend called Hot Flash, designed to soothe the sweats, calm the mood swings, and help you keep your cool when your body’s thermostat has clearly gone rogue.

This week’s featured Pink Thing of the Day (and very appropriate for Valentines Day) is a treat that my day-gig manager brought to me from her recent visit to our London office! McVitie’s Pink Wafers are a classic British biscuit consisting of thin, crispy wafer layers sandwiched together with a sweet vanilla or raspberry-flavored cream filling. They are instantly recognizable for their vibrant pink color and delicate texture. These biscuits have been a staple of British teatime treats for decades, often enjoyed with a cup of tea.
