Started the day with a dark, hot, sweaty gym class
& an instructor who was 20 minutes late.
Better Late than Never!

|
|
sister Pat & I ventured to Chestnut Hill for some shopping.
It’s a quaint part of Philadelphia with a lot of History.

We ALWAYS have to go to McNally’s Tavern when we visit
Chestnut Hill. It’s a great local pub/restaurant.
|

|
THIS is what they are famous for ….the Schmitter sandwich.
It is quite tasty. eating 1/2 now is good & saving 1/2 for later is better!
|
|
|
|
this is what the Schmitter is!
|
|
|
|
the cooks were busy busy busy – worked non-stop the whole time we were there. The owner also makes home made desserts & brings them in. We didn’t get any of those!
|
|
|
|
later we went to neighbor Chris & Marybeth’s house.
They were hosting a cook-off challenge of Onion Soup.
|
|
|
|
I brought my wine from Moldova. The Merlot was a big hit.
We also liked the Pinot Noir & the White Cabernet was good too…….
|
|
|
|
|
|
the contenders Chris & Joe.
Both soups were very good but I think most preferred Chris’s with t
he 3 onion combination method & splash of vermouth.

Nothing would be more tiresome
than eating and drinking
if God had not made them a pleasure
as well as a necessity.
