Eagles Carolina Game 2012

One of the perks of my employment is access to the corporate suite at Lincoln Financial Field.  For the Eagles VS Carolina Monday Night game I was given 5 box seat tickets.

While the game was unfortunate as the Eagles lost, I couldn't quite complain about the accomodations.

Java Joe's is a local breakfast/brunch place that I have frequented with high school friends for years.  Located in Woodlyn, PA its a cozy diner that offers the standard breakfast fair and bottomless cups of coffee.  Perfect for catching up especially when everyone is in town.

Thanksgiving Dinner 2012

With my sister home, there was a small family Thanksgiving at home.  We went for a more classic American Thanksgiving Dinner with recipes from Alton Brown and Bobby Flay.

As it was Thanksgiving break, high school friends were in town so we went to Nifty Fifty's for food before catching Skyfall.

They certainly know how to put cheese-whiz on their fries and the chicken nuggets are always good.  We topped everything off with burgers for a return to high school outings.

Fall Colors 2012

It's fall.  Well almost winter now but as a Philadelphian the color in my back yard is always great this time of year.  Enjoy!

Max Brew Bar (Northern Liberties, Philadelphia)

Max Brew Bar & Cafeteria in Northern Liberties is owned by the same group of owners who own Red Zone and the new Volstead.

Today for brunch I was invited by the owners to sample their new brunch menu and to check out their venue in the Piazza out in Northern Liberties.

The space is very nice and in the heart of the Piazza.  The eagles game was on tv but due to the current season and the slightly cooler weather the outdoor space was rather deserted.

Indoors the bar has a plethora of tvs for game watching and spaciously arranged seating for relaxing with friends.  The brunch will offer a buffet, standard brunch menu, and an option for 20 dollar all you can drink mimosas and bloody marys.  For Sunday game watching, its a nice addition to the area for places to go for Sunday football and other athletic viewings.











Food with Friends (house party)

Sometimes food made by friends beats going out to eat.  This was the case on Saturday.  Showcasing some of the delectibles made by some friends for a house party.  Thanks to the hosts.
