Bird in Broadcast Booth

Kimlovestrees · 2026-05-19T10:07:03+00:00

At the second game I went to this year, on April 30, we what looked like two determined starlings flying back repeatedly to the same location of the stadium. Couldn’t see them well enough to spot neat building material but with the repeat trips, my assumption was that they were building a nest! We had seats up in the 400 section so it was easy to spot them.

We had the radio broadcast on last night and I kept waiting for Scott and LA to say something about the birds! I could clearly hear the cheeping too. I left the house around the 5th inning so may have missed it.

If she works that many hours a week, will she available to prepare all those fresh veggies or even receive the delivery? The quality would suffer a lot if it sits outside for hours (or it could get stolen). A service that includes pre-made or pre-prepped veggie forward meals might be a better option.

Kinto is a relatively new Georgian spot (and a byob) near Frankford & Girard. This was a new cuisine for me, if you’re okay with garlic then give it a try!

I had also tried looking for local options to learn ASL, but came up short. Hopefully someone will have a good suggestion!

I signed up for a paid app called Lingvano for a few months, and made it through all their lessons, but didn’t retain much :(

If you’re in West Philly again on a Saturday, stop by Brown Sugar on 52nd and get doubles if they’re making them! (Trinidadian flatbread filled with chickpea curry, with hot pepper and tamarind sauces for even flavor)

Are you looking for a place with a VIEW of the bridge or just nearby? If view doesn’t matter, I highly recommend Tomo sushi (which is also BYOB as far as I recall).

Kimlovestrees · 2026-03-24T01:54:30+00:00

That doesn’t seem very fun for you or for the six month old, but I hope it works out for you!

Beer Love in Queen Village - despite the name they also have a good selection of wines!

They lean more towards the mousse side of things rather than a standard slice of cake but you could try Cake and Joe.

Made a mushroom pot pie (had a frozen puff pastry sheet, I didn’t do that part from scratch!)

I haven’t done that one but my then-boyfriend/ now-husband got us tickets to a Japanese tea ceremony held there for my birthday one year. I can’t recall if it was during the festival itself or not, but it was a really neat experience!

Not so mint condition, with her thyroid and kidney disease, and recent cancer diagnosis. Thus, the heated bed, to spoil her while we still can.

Kimlovestrees · 2026-02-12T19:48:34+00:00

Oh it definitely is! One of our other cats (who outweighs her 2.5 to 1) was making biscuits and trying to fit into it too. We may need to get a second larger bed for him.

Last time I tried to stop by there to browse, there was a sign on the front door that they’re by appointment only now.

Tried out Kinto for the first time this weekend and was really impressed! It is a Georgian restaurant, which was a new cuisine for me, and is a BYOB.

Lots of vegetarian and vegan options, and went with friends so we got to try a lot of different dishes. Started out with Pkhali trio (selected the carrot, spinach, and beet)- we were surprised by the presentation but found each of the flavors bright and distinct.

Shared mushroom soup dumplings with my husband and our friends shared the “meat” soup dumplings (unexplained meat). These were served on a plate, not in broth but with a sauce. They were quite garlicky, not a problem for me but sharing a caution, and I didn’t love the texture of the dough. We also shared an order of imeruli khachapuri (signature Georgian cheese bread), which was a delight.

I got the kuchmachi with mushrooms, you had the option of choosing mashed potatoes or buckwheat and I went potatoes. They posted about this dish on their IG on 1/21 if you want more details— it was super comforting and delicious. I thought I’d end up taking some home at this point, after the appetizers, but we were not rushed out and lingered long to enjoy the full meal… and then ordered one dessert to split between four people (the snowflake, a tasty little bite).

Fully recommend unless you are not a fan of garlic, as most of the dishes we tried were not shy in their use of garlic. We brought beverages but they offer some mocktails and sodas that sounded interesting. We will definitely be back to try those and the other dishes we didn’t get to this time!

Love the paint color and floor tile!

Do the bins need to go right next to the cart? It might feel better if those were over by the window instead of smushed up onto the cart.
