West Philly Imports

.California and Chicago born and raised.
.West Philadelphia is where we spend most of our days.

Sabrina’s cafe for A’s birthday brunch.

Two orders of Goldie Locks’ Breakfast in Bed Special: Cinnamon roll biscuits topped with eggs scrambled with cheddar & sage sausage-chipotle-green onion gravy. Served with a tri-potato hash with wild mushrooms, bell peppers, and parsnips.

Not too hot, not too cold, just right.

Baby, it’s cold outside.

First night out with the sistas. Came home just as the first snow started to fall. More bonding with our anonymous three-word greek association tonight.

Limited late night options and frigid weather inspired us to cook up a new series: dorm dining. Unwilling to trudge to Fresh Grocer, we decided to bake something with our existing ingredients and our limited dorm room appliances. The result: our devious apple crisp. 

Ingredients: 2 apples, apple juice, 2 packets of apples&cinnamon oatmeal, granola bar, vanilla ice cream 

Slice and dice apples

Microwave in apple juice for 5 minutes 

Drain majority of apple juice and mix in oatmeal 

Flatten mixture and sprinkle with crushed granola 

Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 

Enjoy.

Back to school.  Decided to graduate with a minor in girl flirting. Stay posted for news on rush 2012.

The word of the day is:

ne·glect [ni-glekt]
to pay no attention or too little attention to; disregard or slight

We did it again. But hey, you can’t blame us. Blame our two little friends, college and midterms.

Halloweekend was good to us.  Good food. Good company. Snow. The usual. B. didn’t like the weather too much:  “Say no to hypothermia”

S. came to visit Homecoming weekend.  Old friends. New friends.  Football. Photoshoots. Frolicking.

Check it.

Friday we indulged in the best Thai food in Philly at Erawan but it was nothing compared to the Continental, one of Steven Starr’s premier restaurants. The tapas-style dining experience offered us an opportunity to try an assortment of dishes. 

French Onion Soup Dumplings
Szechuan Shoestring Fries 
Chilean Sea Bass 
Lobster Mac n’ Cheese    
Thai Fish Tacos
Grilled Scallops

We also had some sweets, because we’re sweeties.

The master plan: visit every Steven Starr restaurant prior to graduation. 

deuces. 

A tribute to my New York Trip ~ just some Midwest girls taking over the Big Apple. I have been thoroughly convinced that I’ll live in NY for part of my life, hopefully with these two in a bomb flat on Mark’s. xo

Cheers to a long night of studying.

Midterms- why do you hate us so?  

Hot apple cider to start off our wild night.

Bottoms up!

We neglected you. It was an accident though, pinkie promise.  Midterms and such found a way to squeeze every ounce of time out of week.  It’s the “and such” that made this week worth the wait.

There are two kinds of people in the world.  There are those who can handle scary movies, and those who cannot.  We fall into the second category. 

 “Oh hey, let’s go to one of the scariest haunted attractions in the US!”

Yeah, not the best idea. Why would we volunteer to be scared out of our minds for an hour? -We’re not quite sure.  But it was worth it.

“Why are you holding hands?  It’s not going to save you.”

Oh hey. We survived. Crazy.

Friday we watched the 99% occupy Wharton, and then proceeded to go suit shopping in center city for our status reports.  Ironic? -We think so.

Strawberry cake. If you had some, then you know.  If you didn’t, you missed out.  Spectacular baking experience.

“Egg shells ARE in fact recycleable”

Saturday was a day of good eats.  B. enjoyed Philly BBQ at Baby Blues and A. hit The City with the ride or dies from back home.

Ta ta for now. We won’t be long. Pinkie promise.

We finally had a productive Sunday because we’re B@lL3r$. Sugar waffles and a longggg walk, good shit.

no slop tarts here.
keep it classy butcher1
