standard tap in philly

i got to philly just before 3 pm on thursday the 29 of march. my friend janelle was at work so i set off to see the city. i had lived with a women back in 1999 who i had lost touch with, no email or phone number and no people in between who might be able to help. i spent most of the day trying to find her and i was successful! yay!

when i finally met up with janelle and jorge they had just gotten home from work and school, respectively. janelle made a plate of cheese for us to munch on that was delicious. she had learned this little goat cheese recipe from maryam, the one who nibbled food in nyc the evening prior. it was little goat cheese balls, rolled around in a curry powder, with a pomegranete pasted drizzled over it. it was delicious. i love cheese. i also love janelle and everything she does. she makes everything look very nice.


we walked to a neighborhood restaurant where i forgot to take pictures. i'm not so good at this i suppose. i was pretty full on cheese so i just had a spinach salad and a bowl of potato leek soup. i love spinach salad. it was really nice to catch up with jorge and janelle. it had been a long time since i had hung out with them. the point in these posts is that i really enjoy sharing a meal with people because, i don't know, it's comforting or something. whatever. i love philly.


i took this one after our plates had been cleared and i realized that i had forgotten to take any other pictures. guess all we've got now are the memories. duh.
