Dinner with Good Friends in Philadelphia

I am in Philadelphia again....guess what they are expecting another snow storm. They say not as bad as the last one.My friends Tom and Randy, found a great restaurant around the corner from our hotel in the historic old city.

Chole is a small intimate restaurant that has a byob policy. It is warm and friendly, the service is outstanding, Tony took very good care of us. We decided to have the Fennel and mozzarella appetizer with a tomato sherry sauce. We all agreed that it was one of the best appetizers we ever had. The combination of flavors was sublime. I had the lamb that was just out of this world. We brought our own wine . In Honor of my friends trip to Buenos Aries. I picked two Argentinian wines both from Rio Diamante vineyards a malbec and a Chardonnay. Both were surprisingly good. Now I will probably dream about the banana bread pudding for months... oh well I will have to go back. So if your in Philadelphia give it a try

Burrrr Snow and lots of It

Well I am in Philadelphia and there is a lot of snow on its way. We got almost a half a foot last night. Who knows if we will be going out today. They are saying, 18 more inches this afternoon.
Yesterday I met a delightful woman, Maria in the last 10 min of the flight. I wish I had met her earlier. She was knitting a beautiful scarf with Berrocco luster. I could have talked with her the whole flight she was from LA and had some great recommendations for that part of the country!
I went walking in the snow last night and took the picture of Independence Hall(the site where the Declaration of Independence was signed) It was magical!

A day in Philadelphia

We arrived in Philadelphia last night. My friend Troy,Tom and I went out to a great dinner and a not so great movie. I have been kind of excited about this months Philly overnights. We have been moved back to our old downtown hotel for the month. It is located in the historic district. I get to explore old haunts and new ones. So back to dinner we ate at the marathon grill. I would give it a b. However, happy hour prices on appetizers put it firmly at an A. The movie we saw was Dr Parnissiums imaginarium. It was Heath Ledger last movie. And should have been shelved it was too long and pointless. Just my opinion.
This morning I got out walking and remembering how much glorious history this town has to offer. It just happened to be Wednesday. Free concert day at Holy Trinity Cathedral. We saw a Duet Flutist and harpsichordist.
Good knitting for an hour. Then off to the Continental for lunch. One of my favorite places ( 17th and Chestnut refer to Philly posts for review)
Now it is off to San Francisco for more adventures( I got to work some time)
