This restaurant is in Brookhaven, Delaware County, Pennsylvania not too far from the Philadelphia
airport.  They obviously are not happy about the forecast for more snow tonight into tomorrow.  Another
4-16 inches, depending on the station you listen to.     ----Gloria

Stone Work in Cold Weather (Brookhaven, Pennsylvania)

It was the first day after a long stretch of cold days earlier this month, when the weather was finally above freezing and the sun was offering warmth for those who had to be outdoors.  Larry Shoemaker and Adam Keys were workers who had to be outdoors in order to do a job for their company RockSolid Installations.  They were taking advantage of the warmer weather to do their puzzle work of placing a stone veneer over brick on a marquee for the Borough of Brookhaven. 


In the photos you can see that Larry and Adam had already completed a bit of the puzzle.  Larry told me that if he gets to a spot and he does not have a stone that fits, then it is necessary to shave a stone to make it fit.  To me this work takes an eye for detail and a sense of balance.  Wonderful work guys!

Philadelphia Spiced Wafers (Ginger Snaps)

I never really thought about it until this week that the spiced wafers I grew up with are not only a seasonal product but also a regional product.

Doug was sharing with me that he knows a person who stocks up on boxes of these things because they are only around a very short period of time.

With my curiosity peaked, I did some research on line and sure enough, Sweetzels Spiced Wafers have the monopoly on this Philadelphia area autumn treat. This product is only available July to Thanksgiving, with Halloween being the focal point, thus the trademark black and orange box. From the articles I read on line the owner has been marketing these goodies to the larger market and they are slowly catching on.  Good for him!

Another thing I learned was that these crunchy ginger snaps were at one time produced in my hometown of Bridgeport, a suburb of Philly, but due to a fire was forced to relocate out of state.

My father was addicted to these things.  Every fall there would be a few boxes hanging around and one just had to have a few as a snack with a glass of milk. Fall is not complete for me without a taste of these crispy morsels.

So if you happen to see Sweetzels Spiced Wafers on a shelf in your local store or during a visit to Philadelphia in the Fall and want to try a new treat, take home a box, get a glass of milk and enjoy!  The crispier the better!   (Written by Gloria)

One way to do your part in helping our planet is to get in the habit of crushing and reducing the size of empty containers before you throw them in the trash or in your recycling bin.  This habit will save space in your local landfill. Flatten boxes, soda cans, milk cartons, egg cartons, you get the picture.  Step on them if you have to!  Check out this instructive video thanks to YouTube.    (written by Gloria)
