ooh.
i love philly's old buildings. and their washed-out old ads. and so does he.

what i'm currently working on


so dave and i cook all of the time (ok, maybe he does most of the cooking! but i always keep him company)... and we've come up with some pretty good menu items. so i usually write down the general idea of the recipe on whatever greasy scrap paper is around and shove it in a drawer.
finally, i have decided to compile these scrappy recipes into a little notebook. i realize that typing them would be a more permanent and probably quicker thing to do... but a hand-drawn cookbook is super fun, isn't it?

Been in a lull lately... hoping that when it drops below 90 I'll be a bit less lethargic.
