West Philly is no worse than any other part of any city. I've been in WPHL for 16 years and love the trolleys, trees, gardens, parks, bars/restaurants and walkability (I walk to work even). I've got a 6 bedroom, 3 1/2 bathroom house built in 1888 with two staircases. I bought it in 2006 and was living in a mansion with servants' quarters before that. I must say... I love my giant kitchen, but I also love this!!

I made these last year with white whole wheat flour and Trader Joe's almond meal -- a must for baking... they turned out just great.

There was a recipe a while back for cookie bars, oatmealy type bottom and the c sauce on top with some oats sprinkled on top. Googling 'cranberry bars' ought to do it.

I love it, smells like flowers! I feel sorry for those who don't live in PA / Philly. You poor dears!!

At my house it goes in lots of things - over dips, in soup and in a bechamel when I added canned pumpkin for a fall lasagna. Even on stuff like chicken salad it's great.

Philly loves Golden Monkey. It's my go-to in a beer bar unless there's something else I haven't tried. If you like the complex flavor, try Troeg's Mad Elf (from Harrisburg).

Scuse me for being terribly Pennsylvania Dutch, but pot pie is a thick soup made with square egg noodles and chicken broth, chicken, etc. What you have above are chicken pies.

Just being technical and I know the term is used all over the world for the above, but it's wrong! Wrong I tell you! (rant over)

It's great roasted or even just nuked then added to a Thai curry. I also make a pizza with puree, and make a pizza with olive oil on the dough, then the puree, some sauteed shrooms and onions, then cheese, pine nuts, then fresh rosemary after it's out of the oven.

Di Bruno's in Philly makes their own, and I had the pleasure of having two palm-sized pillows of it over toasted ciabatta with pesto, balsamic, chocolate cherry tomatoes and micro basil. Booyeah. Di Bruno's also carries the large topknotted type.

I got some of this at the farmer's market (in Philly) and loved it.

It's great just on green veggies like green beans or broccoli.
