With all of my talk about how fantastic the Philly food (and dessert) scene is, I’d be remiss not to tell you how you can have a little bit of Philly love delivered to your doorstep any day of the year. No need to wait for an occasion like Valentine’s […]
I miss the brain freeze you get when eating a good pint of ice cream. I didn’t give up ice cream voluntarily, my body decided for me when I started experiencing lactose intolerance symptoms in my early 30’s. Once I was diagnosed, I became the food buzz kill at restaurants […]
