Foods of my Past

The weather is still intolerable so I have been spending most of time indoors, making food. Yesterday I decided to make two of my favorite childhood foods: pierogies and shoo fly pie.





The pierogies were spot on! They tasted just like I remembered which is strange because my pop-pop's recipe calls for eggs. I even sucked it up and actually cooked with onions. Bleck.

The pie on the other hand did not turn out to swell. Something went wrong with the molasses. It's too sour / it might have burned. Oh well.

Cesar came over for some chickpea cutlets and for pie. Unfortunately it was his second slice of pie ever and it tasted terrible.

Oh well, next time!

A day of luxury renewed my faith in Philadelphia. I fulfilled my bagel fantasies in the morning and then met up with Sylvia for pool crashing, saunas, and steam rooms. Later we napped on the top floor of the Kimmel Center amongst trees and listened to awful Jerry Seinfeld impersonators at the Seinfeld party or what have you along with Xavier and a friend. The situation quickly became one in which you feel awkward and embarrassed for the performer. Eeesh. Naturally the day ended in Rittenhouse with champagne. Currently I am watching Cesar play 'Ocarina of Time'. Not exactly exuberant, but still enjoyable.
