So, Alisa and I are planning to make some old-fashioned sloppy joes with turkey burger, minus the ’shrooms (as they are basically MOLD, people). This lead to the following exchange ’twixt her and I: Alisa: I really like that it has celery in it. Me: ::mildly befuddled look:: Alisa: I mean, it’s basically a Bloody […]

Tiffin
Oh man, oh man, oh man. Mt Airy has finally gotten Indian food! This news is competing with the birth of my daughter for coolest thing to happen this year.* Tiffin opened up a location along Emlen where the Hamlet Bistro used to be. A few nights ago we ordered up some standards: chicken tikka […]
Memorial Day BBQ
The best way to spend a warm spring holiday: barbecuing meat and veggies with friends on their back porch. Thanks to Mike and Jenny for hosting us this year. Our desire to own a grill has both increased and diminished. We want to have BBQs on our own porch, but after such a great time […]
Chocolate-Covered Bacon
That’s right. Bacon. Chocolate. A merging of two holy substances brought to earth by god-kings of culinary alchemical magnificence. Well, kind of.
To Own Your Right to Eat, Completely

Monsanto Whines as Consumers Opt for Hormone-free Milk
Monsanto, the wonderful people who’ve brought genetically engineered seed and bovine growth hormone into every virtually every household in the U.S. and elsewhere, are now complaining to the FTC that “ads mislead consumers into thinking that milk from cows not treated with rBST are healthier or safer than dairy products from cows treated with the […]
4 Good Drinks and Where You Can Find Them in Philly
I’ve been distracted from Current Config, so let’s call this a public service announcement to make up for it. 1) The Buzz Aldren at The Continental One word, people: Tang. This drink has it not only in the mix (along with peach schnapps and vodka), but also rimming the martini glass it’s served in. Like […]
St. Bernardus, Best Beer Ever
I just realized I haven’t mentioned this yet on Current Config: St. Bernardus Abt 12 is the best beer ever. From the moment I tried it on tap at the best Belgian beer emporium I know of in Philly, Monk’s Café, I was hooked. Just reading the description on the St Bernardus website makes my […]
