I remember this week in terms of food
I've been spending a lot of time either going through old papers and books and throwing them away or trying to repack them so that someday somebody who isn't me will be able to know what to do with them, rather than it just being a huge set of garbage here. I shoulda started this project a lot earlier. Go figure.
Tonight my dad and I went to Jones for dinner because he really wanted to try it and tonight's my last evening in town. I'd been there a month ago with Stewart and I knew it'd be a bit "young" for Dad -- the place is really more of a "drinks and dinner after work for yuppies" kind of joint, with loud music and trendy waitstaff, but the food IS pretty good. He had meatloaf and latkes, and I had steak frites. It was good.
For lunch today I finally made it to Bonte, which was one of the places![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dhpdesign had suggested for brunch all those weeks ago, but we went somewhere else. Anyway, it was FANTASTIC! I had this strawberry waffle, which actually meant the strawberries were mixed in with the batter in making the waffle, and then I had vanilla and butterscotch ice creams on top with caramel sauce and dear god it was to die for. Add in some yummy chai, and a nice atmosphere with free wireless, and Bonte's actually a pretty fantastic place. I sat there and worked on the crossword book Frank gave me, for a bit.
Yesterday for dinner I had a hoagie from Wawa. They had no tomatoes. Dude said they were out of season. I know they're out of season, but aren't we the country which knows no seasons or something? I also went jogging and played some PP Cursed Isles, which was dumb because I should have been sorting boxes, but I had some people I needed to talk to and got invited along and so on.
Yesterday for lunch I went to the Reading Terminal Market. I wanted Chinese food, actually, and wanted to go to Chinatown, BUT it was raining and cold outside and I realized I actually don't remember which restaurants are good anymore, plus going to them alone is frustrating, so I avoided the extra walk in the cold rain and went to a random stand in the RTM and had mediocre but cheap General Tso's chicken, which I guess is just as much going back to my roots.
Tomorrow afternoon I'm gonna walk down to South Street and eat my Last Cheesesteak at Jim's, then I'm getting on a plane to Pittsburgh in the evening. Yikes. And thus my month and a half in Philly comes to an end, I suppose. How... strange.
