After brunch, my parents had to head to the airport, but Kyle and I still had a few hours to kill. We filled the time with a long stroll through campus followed by a trip to the 30th street train station. We bought SEPTA tickets to the airport and food for the flight. I’m sorry (but not really?) to say, I didn’t make into a Wawa over the weekend. For non-Philly readers, I’d liken the chain to 7-Eleven, but for me the nostalgia of getting both coffee and soft pretzels is what makes the… Read more >

The above line is from a poem written by my adorable husband. I may have to show it to you later. :) Since I am on night shift this week, I slept in ‘til noon, enjoyed a late breakfaat, and watched tv until 5:00 rolled around. Part one of my breakfast brunch was a nectarine. It was another watery not-so-sweet piece of fruit. Dude. I am so bummed about these lame nectarines. From now on I’m buying stone fruit at the farmer’s market ONLY. The second part of meal number one was coconut oats topped… Read more >

After Saturday’s nightcap, Kyle and I found ourselves sucked into an A&E marathon. Has anyone else ever seen The First 48? Because we had finished our Netflix-ed Dexter DVDs the previous night (and didn’t want to pay $11.99 for the Hyatt’s On-Demand films) our TV options were limited. Turns out The First 48 is a really good show…so good in fact, that we’ve now seen the entire first season. 😉 Anyway, Sunday started the same as Saturday (plus football). Coffee, pool lounging, gym time, and eventually lunch. We couldn’t help ourselves…and so we headed back… Read more >

You guys are so sweet. I was simply floored by the response to my wedding post – your comments were overwhelmingly kind. I felt like the luckiest girl on the planet that day, so I guess it came through in the photos. I’ll try and get the second half of the big day posted soon, but I don’t have pictures of the food yet (I didn’t bring my camera to the wedding – the horror!!). Don’t worry, I made sure the photographer captured my meal on film (I am a food blogger after all). So… Read more >

How I love thee, let me count the ways… 1. Prepared foods bar As you are about to see, I’ve been going through a few obsessions. Whole Foods makes it dangerously easy to slip into food ruts because each dish is better than the last and meals require no effort whatsoever (aside from determining if you want the Kirstie Alley size or the more moderate portion) because they are already prepared. Fumi Tofu Salad I was first introduced to this glorious dish back in my college days, when the Whole Foods opened in Westwood and… Read more >
