the start of socktoberfest!

| 4 comments

First off, I’m late. It’s October 5, and I haven’t yet said anything about this fabulous month-long sock celebration. Of course, I’ve been a leeeeetle busy. (Aside: I found an apartment yesterday! Upper East Side, eensy weensy 1 bedroom. Boy, the apartment hunt sucked, in every way. I was that woman you see crying on the subway. For real. But it’s over now!)

It’s not too late to jump right in to Socktober. Later today I’ll be able to show my finished Pomatomi–I kitchenered using a bobby pin as a needle last night! (Once I’m back in Philly, I will sew in the ends using an actual needle.)

Here’s the excellent little questionnaire Lolly posted, with my answers!

another Philly restaurant review: Pumpkin

| 5 comments

OK, I’m pushing the bounds of this blog, but I get emails from people asking about food in Philly more often than you’d think!

Last night, to celebrate the boy’s birthday, we went to Pumpkin, a delightful byo on South Street between 17th and 18th (two blocks from Loop). We’d never been, though it’s gotten good reviews since it opened, and friends I told during the day raved.
