UPDATE on Bridge Kitchenware

After 71 years of operating a retail store, Bridge Kitchenware is transitioning to a Website only operation on April 9, 2017. 98% of the items found on the bridgekitchenware.com website will be shipped directly by the manufacturer, and are not available in the East Hanover location.

I have partnered with several manufacturers and am looking for more unique and quality products for you. I will still be working out of the East Hanover location by Appointment only. Appointments are available on Thursday's and Sunday's and must be made at least 24 hours in advance by emailing info@bridgekitchenware.com

I still want to offer the best quality merchandise at a fair price and keep my family business open. This was a tough decision to arrive at, but having a retail store and juggling the needs of my family has been challenging. As of tomorrow April 10, I will start working at Paul Miller Audi in Parsippany, NJ as a Audi Brand Specialist.

I will no longer be available during the day to answer customer calls, but please leave a message and let me know when would be a good time to get back to you. Email will be the best way to get in touch with me going forward.

The BridgeVintageChina ETSY operation will continue out of its East Hanover location, orders will be shipped on Thursdaymornings. Orders must be received by Wednesday mornings to be included in Thursday shipments.

I appreciate all of my customers, and want to continue the best in customer service that you have been accustomed to over the past 71 years. I also need to support my family as well. This decision wasn't an easy one, but I am trying to make it a Win-Win for everyone involved."

My shopping spree at NJ's Bridge Kitchenware

Here is a photo of my haul from Bridge Kitchenware's sale for the incredible sum of $60!

Next sale will be on Labor Day weekend. Check their website at bridgekitchenware.com for details. 

The values are amazing - French quiche pans for $2.00. More photos to come.

“Fried” Zucchini (Courgette) Sticks

Long a popular appetizer in Italian restaurants, this is a great way to use up some of that bumper crop of zucchini taking over your vegetable garden.  It’s not only a tasty appetizer, but a delicious side dish kids will love!  In addition, it is significantly lower in calories than the fried version.

Ingredients:

2 medium zucchini cut into sticks
2 egg whites
¾ cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup grated Parmegiano cheese

1. Preheat the oven to 425º convection or 450º conventional.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray.
3. Place the egg whites in a rimmed dish and whisk until well blended
4. Combine the flour, salt, pepper and cayenne in a plastic bag and shake to combine.
5. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmegiano on a sheet of waxed paper.
6. Place half the zucchini sticks in the bag and shake to coat.  Remove and shake off excess flour.
7. Dip sticks in egg whites and then roll in the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
8. Place on the baking sheet, spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray and bake for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
9. Serve with marinara sauce.

NOTES:  Panko breadcrumbs are large, crunchy breadcrumbs available in most grocery stores.  If you can’t find them, use plain breadcrumbs.  A recipe for marinara sauce can be found here on my website and is also on You Tube. 

Fabulous kitchenware shop to reopen warehouse

Great new for cooks! Bridge Kitchenware is reopening as a warehouse location on September 12th at 393 Route 10 East in East Hanover, NJ. This is about 35 minutes west of the Lincoln Tunnel.

They are closing the Madison store - I suspect because it was too small. Part of the fun in visiting the warehouse is that you see items you didn't even know existed that you really need for your kitchen.

If you are not able to visit the warehouse, check out their website at www.bridgekitchenware.com and prepare to spend some time browsing through their amazing selections.

And I almost forgot to mention that everything is available at discount prices.
