"He was a jolly good listener." My favorite NPR being, @OfeibeaQ on #Bourdain.

I already miss his commentary, alternately generous and biting, but always the truth. Such a big heart to lose.

It's that time of year: soup!

And Breakfast Pho. Fresh greens in deeply-flavored broths are a welcome break from creamy root veg and squash soups:

@kimseverson Yes, I DO, TOO!

(1st thought at post's first sentence: who hangs expensive artwork near their kitchen? )

[Blithe Palate @Blithe1]

Oh, that it is!

Some White House pool reports are better than others...

For #NationalChocolateDay, as is my custom, I pay respect to the Diva of Chocolate, @AliceMedrich, and make her pudding from "Sinfully Easy Delicious Desserts."

It's a hit at the Halloween night neighbor bash.

Proud and humbled to wear her visage on my avatar. Happy birthday, my girl, #DorothyParker, owner of the best epitaph ever: "Excuse my dust."

Learn why the memorial housing her ashes is at the NAACP headquarters in Baltimore:

Wagashi, the Japanese sweets traditionally served with tea, come in many forms, including these dainty rice cakes with a white-bean center.

Just the "stop-you-in-your-tracks" needed on this beastly, steamy day. 91deg F on my street and not even noon.

But this. Uh. Wow.

[Blithe Palate @Blithe1]

I'm stovetop-challenged this summer (partial kitchen reno), so broke down and bought an #instapot. First up: yogurt. Second: Rib prep for grilling. All comments/war stories welcome.

Ugh. Or better "AWG (Angry White Guy)."

Like anyone needed another reason to hate crowded summer Friday afternoon commutes.

THRILLED for Nok! Her new restaurant, #Kalaya, a block above the #ItalianMarket, is not-to-be-missed. Finally, Philly gets a taste of authentic southern #ThaiFood:

@gansie @phillymag @foobooz @RobinGivhan Pretty sure it's Issey Miyake. A story: one evening, I'm in my comm. garden plot, & Nok, who has a plot nearby, arrives in a WHITE I. Miyake blouse, to dig and harvest and weed. Of course, she finishes without getting a speck on the Miyake. #Charmed, just like her food ♥️ #Kalaya

Heartbreaking, though not just because I love Sancerre.

I wish there was a way we could direct our recent floody rain right to you.

50 years after #MoonLanding 🚀, this is the cracked soil in our plots, a sad panorama of kinda a lunar landscape 🌙. #Sancerre region has seen one of its driest period for almost 60 years. Let it rain, open the floodgates of heaven 😇🔥🥵 #drought #heatwave

[Blithe Palate @Blithe1]

Not clear about the current criteria for @PhillyMag's @foobooz "50 Best Restaurants" list. 🤔

Service is too often dodgy in this city. I don't mean to brown-nose, but @zahavrestaurant should be higher on the list. The food is radiant, service exemplary. https://t.co/nuQTzooZoO

[Blithe Palate @Blithe1]

@PHLOysterHouse @6abcFYIPhilly I can attest: every soup I've ever had at Oyster House has been a marvel. First place I consider when the temps drop below 50 deg.

[Blithe Palate @Blithe1]

This is everything.

To a dude saying "but we have the lowest unemployment ever": "We work with a woman working in a poultry plant in the US, the richest company in the world, who wears diapers because they don't give her bathroom breaks. Don't talk to me about jobs, talk about jobs with dignity."

#NationalChocolateCakeDay: sounds like an excuse to throw caution & crazy January diet to the winds.

Sometimes simple & French is best. Still need icing? Whip cream w/cocoa powder. Dollop away.
