Reedsville Seafood Company

This might seem like a contradiction of terms to have a seafood company in central Pennsylvania, but, yes, it does exist and they offer more than just seafood. Located at 20 N. Main Street, Reedsville, PA 17084, (717) 667-6084. www.reedsvilleseafood.com Wednesday-Saturday (at least at the time of this posting) they offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. They drive a refrigerated/freezer truck to Maryland to ensure their fish is as fresh as possible so they do not have to rely on other sources and run the risk of time and temperature abuse with the products they sell. I have mostly just purchased haddock and salmon from them but they offer much more and I have never been disappointed with the taste/quality of the fish. They also offer catering services and have sandwiches, pastries, side dishes available for sale. The other day I stopped by and tried the orange blossom french toast. The price was $7.00 for three pieces of french toast, with a local sausage (which I typically don’t like sausage but it was good), and home fries that were cooked with green peppers and red onion. I would again order this dish. I forgot to take a photo of the outside, but next time I am in the area I will take one so I can post it as well.

Peace Valley Lavender Farm

Although it was a little late in the year to be able to enjoy the lavender field, it was still worth the trip to check out the quaint little store at the Peace Valley Lavender Farm. It is located at 802 New Galena Road, Doylestown, PA 18901. 215-249-8462. www.peacevalleylavender.com They develop their own products from shampoo and lip balm to sheet sprays and culinary blends. I purchased the Herbs de Provence culinary blend (since I like the Herbs de Provence salt blend that Tait Farm sells) as well as a recipe card for lavender cookies which includes a packet of lavender buds. I am a little bit leery about trying the recipe but if it is good I will develop a recipe that I can post for you to try as well.

Sawaii Restaurant in Red Hill, PA

Sawaii is located in Montgomery County and I highly recommend eating at this Indian restaurant. The food is great! My friends and I just order several dishes then share the food. During my last trip we ordered the lamb chops and I have never had lamb so tender and flavorful. It was so good next time I might just order it for my meal.

The restaurant is located at 313 Main Street, Red Hill, PA 18076. 215-679-5000. Reservations are not required and I do want to mention that if you see that the parking lot is full you should stop anyway. They have a lot of banquets and even though it might look like they are too busy, the main restaurant usually has plenty of room. They serve the buffet for lunch and you order off the menu for dinner. Here are some photos from my last trip.
