I'm faded right now. These are the 10 things I want to eat. Trust me on these. You won't be sorry.
Kraft Easy Mac
It's creamy, cheesy and, as the name suggests, easy to make.
When April 20th rolls around each year, it inspires a wide range of thoughts throughout the nation. For some, it's just another square on the calendar, no better or worse than any other day of the year.
The Greater Philadelphia Student Film Festival "is going to be amazing," asserts Brian Walsh, a Cinema Studies Major and festival co-organizer with Sara Axelrod.
About those dear peeps,
There is so much to say.
How glorious it is to eat them
During Lent, on the 40th day.
What a fine little treat,
A delicious marshmallow
In the shape of a bird,
All sugared and yellow.
Formed with the likeness
Of the little bird, Tweety,
And causing young children to get
Type I diabetes.
Unlike the chicken,
From these birds comes no omelet
And if you eat enough of them,
You are surly to vomit.
Peep, peep, peep, peep, peep,
You are so very delicious,
Though your ingredients
Are more than suspicious.
Mostly sugar, corn syrup,
And gelatin to the max,
Finishing the list
With just a hint of wax.
Unpronounceable preservatives
Keep them always fresh,
Three years old and delightful,
To this I attest.
And if only eating them for holidays
Fills you with tears,
Thanks to new marketing
You can eat them all year.
So, to these peeps,
I say mostly fantastic,
Who'd ever knew birds could be
Slightly orgiastic?
If you don't have plans set in stone for Passover, chances are you're open-minded and classify yourself as more of a "cultural" Jew, so London Grill's "Newish Jewish Feast" is where you should spend your second Seder.
Ingredients:
3-4 eggs
Pepper
1-2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp mustard
1 tsp Paprika
Plus pinches of any of the following you wish to include: anchovy or sardine paste, chopped ginger, cream cheese, chutney, caviar, smoked salmon, devilled ham, grated Roquefort, chopped chives, basil, tarragon, etc.
Sunday morning is usually about what's convenient. But if you're trying to convince the girl from last night that you weren't joking, sometimes the decor of Bui's food truck just doesn't cut it.
This leavening-free recipe comes from my very own Jewish Grandma Florence, of Scranton, PA. Separating the eggs and beating the egg whites takes a couple extra minutes, but it's worth it when you taste the light fluffy goodness of these pancakes.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup matzoh meal
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup cold water
3 eggs
Directions:

I'm a pretty casual kind of girl. I wear jeans, oh, 94.3% of the time, and few occasions warrant my putting up with the pain of heels.
But every once in a while, a girl likes to put on a skirt and class it up.
You could be forgiven for thinking Gayle was a typical Philly BYOB. It is very small, very close to South Street and has a clientele of bohemian foodies and aspiring trendsetters.
Small plates are the newest and hottest dining trend, and Philly has finally caught on. They have great appeal, allowing diners to sample a wide range of the menu and submit to the dietician's biggest no-no: grazing.
First things first: leave that hippy aversion at home. While Trader Joe's carries more than its fair share of granola, nonfat yogurt and organic kiwis, it's also crazy cheap, exceptionally tasty, and more than equipped to handle your standard shopping needs.
If you're interested in stocking up on elusive spices or expanding your ethnic food horizons, make a short trip up Walnut to the International Food and Spices Market.
The first clue that Gioia Mia is an authentic Italian restaurant is not the antipasto della casa, with prosciutto and fresh mozzarella, or the perfect preparation of rigatoni all'amatriciana.
If you're looking for a Rittenhouse girl in a South Philly world, Bistro La Viola is your spot. With a dining room that makes a shoebox appear expansive, the experience at this cash-only BYO is reminiscent of eating at the communal tables at Manhattan's Carnegie Deli.
