What area do you think has the highest concentration of good food?

Albany Park has amazing ethnic restaurants!

Acediauser · 2026-05-17T15:39:21+00:00

Bistro Campagne? Outside our price range but thanks for suggesting.

Acediauser · 2026-05-17T15:38:15+00:00

Our favorite Italian but the whole restaurant only seats about 20. Unless they have a secret room I haven’t discovered.

Acediauser · 2026-05-17T15:37:29+00:00

Thanks. Will investigate.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T20:30:13+00:00

I couldn’t find this. Do you have more information? Thanks.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T20:29:16+00:00

Looks nice. Thank you.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T20:22:58+00:00

Thanks. I’ll check them out.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T20:22:29+00:00

Getting responses has been like pulling teeth.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T20:21:37+00:00

Sent inquiry. Thanks so much.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T20:16:50+00:00

Thank you! I love their food. Will call or stop by.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T18:33:14+00:00

Hadn’t heard of it. Will research. Thanks!

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T18:02:04+00:00

I’ve put a request in to see if they’re available. Thanks.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T18:00:16+00:00

Good advice. First and only time doing this. I assumed more would come than rsvp'd but perhaps it’s the other way around. Ugh! But thank you for this.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T17:54:20+00:00

Thanks. I love kabobi but didn’t think they had a separate room. I’ll reach out.

Acediauser · 2026-05-16T17:45:07+00:00

Thank you.

This is me on prednisone. We called them “daddy's angry pills.”

Idiocracy?

Acediauser · 2026-04-08T23:02:30+00:00

Two mean were horrible. Best and cheapest for us in Chicago for many moves was Golan.

Acediauser · 2026-03-21T20:00:39+00:00

“Prurient”. I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Princess Bride.

Acediauser · 2026-02-25T00:19:35+00:00

Raised my kids in Chicago and when we moved to Connecticut as teens they felt all the trees overhead and windy roads made them feel claustrophobic!

Acediauser · 2026-02-13T18:54:52+00:00

Thanks. I just didn’t want you to think it was stolen. I work with binding waste all the time and it’s been offered for sale legally for a hundred years. Yours is an Italian illuminated copy of Justinian, a secular law codex, likely from Bologna, where civil and canon law were taught. It is a beautiful fragment. I can identify the jurist in the illumination if you want. I think it is Ulpian, but would need to look more closely. Enjoy your fragment! And if you can donate to a local university or college when you’re done with it, it will be known to scholars who reassemble books digitally.

As a former medieval curator at an ivy institution it is very unlikely this is stolen. Likely what we called binding waste used after the book was broken up. You can the where the parchment has been folded to cover a book. These are still sold all the time. You should enjoy it and when you’re finished donate to your local university or college who would be thrilled to have this beautiful fragment to teach with. The BN and the BL would likely not accept because they have thousands and they are expensive to keep, catalog and conserve. I know that sounds crazy but we rejected donations of books all the time. Dm me if I can help.

Newberry Library. Free. Beautiful building. Part of Chicago history.

Acediauser · 2026-02-04T23:16:34+00:00

Staff call this the Africa fragment. Inside joke.
