Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday Dear Barbara! Happy Birthday to you! Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Barbara!!! - BarbaraS - 11-01-2015 THANK YOU ALL!!! We just got back from New Hope, PA. Pretty crowded for a Sunday. It was 65-degrees today and some trees are still green!! Yesterday we went to the Italian Market in South Philly and O.M.G., I had to force myself not to buy everything I saw. We first stopped at Fante's. This place has everything from hammered copper cookware to any gadget a cook would want and every flavor everything a baker would need. Then we stopped in this new shop that sells infused EVOOs and flavored Balsamic vinegars. All the vinegars and oils were lined up in mini metal barrels with little tasting cups and little pieces of bread to taste everything they had. Ever since Roxanne spoiled me with EVOO from South Africa, I've been holding out for the real deal and found it! Bought a bottle of made in Italy and they even listed the olives it was pressed from. Got some really nice aged Balsamic Vinegar as well. Tasty stuff! Then we hit DiBruno Bros Cheese shop. Danger! Danger!! They have over 300 varieties of cheeses and will let you taste as many as you want. Once a year they get this cheese called "Black Beauty". I don't know exactly what kind of cheese it was, but it was the creamiest cheese I've ever had. We also got some Bleu Cheese made in Chester County, PA. Anthony Bourdain featured this shop in one of his shows and he found a cheese there he can't find in NYC. I picked up some fresh made mozzarella and a Sweet Basil and Garlic pasta sauce they made. I had to get Hubby out of there before he bought more cheese. More shops down the way were selling homemade pastas and cans of San Marzano tomatoes. But they were in Italian and I didn't know if they were whole tomatoes or what. Definitely need to go back there before I make my lasagnas for the winter. Hubby's knees were getting sore and he can't walk for long times. And don't get me started on the butcher shops! In about an hour we'll be going out to dinner for my dozen Blue Point oysters and Filet Oscar (crab meat and mushrooms in a demi-glace sauce). Woohoo!! Thank you everyone!! Barbara Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Barbara!!! - Trixxee - 11-01-2015 Happy Birthday Barbara! Sounds like a really enjoyable fun day! Re: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Barbara!!! - BarbaraS - 11-01-2015 It was, Trixxee!! The Italian Market is way cool but not as snazzy or big as The Market in Seattle, WA. It's something I was hoping to show Jean and Roy if they had made their way up here while they were on the road, but they made the smart move and stayed south because it was a terrible Winter/Spring up here.
