I have been so busy of late with school, working on these weblogs has become a labor of love. I really do not have time to type a full post or an introduction.
Today, I just wanted to alert the few (not for long!) who visit my site that a preliminary photo album has been added under the "My Photo Albums" section. Pictures will be added periodically, so check back frequently. Expect to see pitcures from my dining experiences in Philly and elsewhere. Sadly, my low budget will keep me from some of the swankier restaurants, but you will see some local favorites. I am not sure what direction this blog will lead me, but I can assure you it will be an exciting endeavor for all.
The newest photos are from the Ritz-Carlton Dessert Buffet. The price was recently raised to $18.50, but it's still a steal of a deal in my opinion. The lounge is gorgeous, and the Jazz trio was swinging all night. The pastry chef who slaved over the buffet was serving waffles and watching, bleary-eyed, as his little delicacies were enjoyed. He was young and excited, so I chatted with him about the head pastry chef and how I appreciated his hard work. He humbly acknowledged my praise, but was not too interested in starting a full conversation (maybe it's policy or something).
P.S. - Today, the glorious 6th of October, is my birthday. Happy Birthday to me!
