Give Dmitri's, at 2nd and Queen, a try. Amazingly fresh seafood cooked super simply, and it's a byo!
Quimet y Quimet was a really good time, just don't be put off by the big crowd or lack of chairs. This is a place to go a little later in the week, when your local food vocab is beefed up. We also had an amazing dinner at Hisop, beautiful restaurant, and fantastic food; the cheese plate is not to be missed.
Petit Sirah!
Smuggling iberican ham into the country! Hubby and I savored every last bite of the stuff, cooked up simply with green beans or garbanzos.
Alongside a nice plate of pa am tomquet with some marinated olives
Crisped just a bit, with a perfectly fried egg on top.
Walking through La Boqueria in Barcelona, to pick up ham, cheese, pickled onions, olives, and bread for an afternoon picnic in Monjuic.
Toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, scallions, lox, and capers...mmmm
I have to admit, though never having tried something like this at thanksgiving...this year may be to be a little different when we enjoy the Smoked-Oyster Sticky Rice Stuffing...yum.
picholine with a little lemon zest and red pepper....mmmmm, too good
Smittenkitchen, The Wednesday Chef, The BittenWord...ugh too many to list!
Red lentil burgers with some fresh avocado.
Grilled summer squash and super-ripe tomatoes...nothing can beat 'em!
My first housewarming party, served everything tapas style...total hit.
Really authentic Japanese food!
Yum.
Over Easter weekend, I'll be traveling from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh to meet my boyfriends parents (yikes!) I'd like to bring something fun along, maybe to eat with coffee after dinner? It needs to be able to last for two days in a hotel room beforehand.
Any ideas?

All great ideas, we're thinking a box of John and Kira's Root chocolates and some homemade cookies. Thanks for the suggestions!
