Philly Take Two….

flyersgame3

Saturday was game day and the whole reason we came. We started off by going to brunch back at Khyber Pass Pub. We loved it so much on Thursday night and noticed that they offered brunch on the weekends. I had the praline bacon and pork belly corn dog. Yes you read that right...I had pork-fest 2013 and once again OMFG incredible! We then headed to the arena. It was a day game and we arrived to a parking lot full of tailgating fans. To say the Philly fans are intense is putting it mildly but I can't help but love their passion. We had such a great time and even though the Flyers lost the experience will stay with me and MDP. And you have to love that their pretzels are in the shape of the Flyers symbol! That night we met up with Kita (Pass the Sushi) and her man and tried Eulogy Belgian Tavern which had an amazing selection of beers! The food was good too but it was super hot in there and so we headed across the street to you guessed it Khyber Pass Pub (I … [Read more...]

I want S’more mint…

I’ve gotten a slew of emails as of late as people seem to be under the impression that my life is exciting. I can assure you it is not. :) But I figured I would go ahead and answer the most asked questions. #1: What does MDP do for a living? He is an electrician…very good with his hands ;) (bad I know but come on…had to go there). #2: How’s the foot? The foot is pretty good though for the first time in forever (ironically the day I was “cleared” to play hockey…yes I have been playing for 5 weeks already) it started hurting. But other than that it’s been pretty good. #3: What do you want for Christmas? I really don’t know actually. I am in love with this idea but it’s highly impractical for a stuffed animal. I wouldn’t mind Sorrel Joan of Artic Boots in gray even though I already own a pair of Sorrels. They are just a great boot I guess you can’t own too many water proof super warm boots when you live where I do. #4: Does MDP get along with his ex as … [Read more...]

In with the new….

In case you haven't noticed I am sporting some new digs. There are a lot of new changes ahead for me in the coming months but this is the first one. I figured since I was going into my 7th year of blogging and my 40th year of life that I should probably change things up on the blog. Do a little less is more. Plus apparently those cute little picture squares I had were quite the coding nightmare for updates. Opps. Who knew. My awesome redesign or as I call it an make-under was done by a CCbP reader and blogger who I found out did this for a living. Everyone give a shout out to Pass the Sushi for new look! And of course thanks to the Picky Eater for having to coordinate all the back end stuff with her so that they could go live with the site. To honor the launch of the site I figured go with something simple yet incredibly yummy...and according to MDP very, very messy. There may or may not be random pieces of marshmallow fluff still being found. I call it a scavenger hunt for the … [Read more...]

No means no…

If you watch Seinfeld did you ever see the episode where George tries to break up with a girl and she told him no? In my mid-twenties I had the same thing happened. I was dating a nice enough boy but after a few months I knew he wasn’t the one or even close to the one and so I broke up with him. He told me no. I was like what? I had been sick at the time and he told me that I must have a fever and I was delusional from the fever and we were too good to break up. And he left. Umm. So then I called him later to tell him no, we were indeed not together anymore. And again I got that I was sick and not thinking clearly and that we were still together. He would call as if everything was normal and I would remind him that we were broken up and he would tell me we were not. I finally broke down and called the largest, meanest friend I knew to go tell him that we were no longer together and to leave me the heck alone. Fortunately he was signed up to go into the military right after … [Read more...]
