It has been a while since my last post. I apologize for the absence.
During the past two weeks I have seen two concerts, 1 movie, had a house guest, created new art pieces, and did the 10 day home show at the Philadelphia Convention center.
My friend Jeff, who I met in the mid 60’s and have been close and best friends ever since, was visiting from Denver this weekend. It has been several years since his last visit. What was wonderful was taking him around the city and hear him ooh an ahh about the changes Philly is making. It is almost enough to lore him back.
One of his requests was to get a Philly style roast pork. To get the best he thought we should go to Geno’s or Pat’s; but there were several other places I thought were the best to choose from. I convinced him to try one of my three favorites so we went to Dinics Roast Pork and Beef (spelling?) in the reading terminal. I chose it both for the food and the experience. It was Friday afternoon at 12:30 and the crowds were huge. We were fortunate enough to get seats at the counter next to a great couple from Buffalo who were in town for a sporting event. I ordered an Italian style pulled pork with provolone, broccoli rabe and hot peppers. Jeff went for the regular. Jeff was VERY happy with my choice. FYI the other two in order of my preference is the Pork at Fitzwater Cafe at 7th and Fitzwater. This is my favorite. The second best is Johnny’s at front and Snyder behind Lowe’s. Actually It may be a virtual tie. I guess it depends on my mood.
I will post more about the last 2 weeks tomorrow, especially about the new additions to my Imaginary Landscapes series:
