Briarcliff's Inspired Chef Goes Bananas After A Weird Week WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- This has been a weird week for the Inspired Chef. A few nights ago I was out to dinner at a Greek restaurant with family, squished into a banquette between my brother, David, and my older son, Sam. Since I couldn’t get out, I asked the waiter to bring me a Kleenex. Now, what I should have requested was a tissue because he looked at me very confused. I covered my nose to try to show him what I meant but still don’t think he understood because he came back five minutes later with a tray of toothpicks! Maybe I had spinach in my teeth?

Telesco resides in Stamford with her husband John, a retired Stamford fireman and Vietnam veteran. About 10 years ago, she decided she would send her cookies and other goodies overseas to the troops to show them how much they are appreciated. “In 2004, I saw wa…

If You Know A Pound Ridge Veteran, Tell Them Thanks POUND RIDGE, N.Y. -- While we enjoy this long weekend and check out the pre-holiday store sales, we also need to show our appreciation for those who served in our country’s armed forces. Today is their day. For the rest of us who do not easily remember the part of our history books that explained the details, it was at the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month of 1918 when the armistice was signed ending World War I, or as many who lived through it, “The War to end all Wars.” Twenty years later, Congress recognized Nov. 11 as a legal holiday to honor those Americans who served in …
