Brought in this beauty from the garden today. It’s a Soldaki — a prized heirloom of Polish origin. Kind of like me. @annapplegate.bsky.social #tomatoes #soldaki #schwapplegatefarms

Things got Weird in Philly last night. Amazing show by @alyankovic.bsky.social at the Mann.

Forty years ago. It was scorchingly hot, super crowded, and absolutely perfect. Tickets had gone on sale less than three weeks earlier, and I wrote about scoring mine for the weekly paper I worked for. (I also wrote about the show, but I can’t find the clip.) #liveaid #northeasttimes

Ringo at the Mann was everything I’d expected, and more. Watching an almost 85-year-old Beatle doing jumping jacks onstage was incredible in itself. But his band this time around was just amazing. Special props to co-drummer Greg Bissonette. And Hamish Stuart, who was anything but average.

At the Mann for Ringo Starr and his All-Starr Band, with special guest … Larry Kane!

Harmony, a vegetarian Chinese restaurant in Philly, had a vegetarian ham fried rice that was perfection. And a place called Wiz Kid briefly made a vegan cheesesteak that made me forget I hadn’t had a real cheesesteak in 30 years. So good. Sigh.
I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

Back in the ‘70s, the Phillies’ Del Unser used to be a .400 hitter. You’d see his name in the agate list of NL leaders. In April. Then, tragically, came May, and June, and he would stop being Ted Williams and be Del Unser again. That’s why I’m not too worried about Alec Bohm. Yet. #phillies
