ABOUT THE BLOGGERS

Danielle and Rory are newlyweds living in Philadelphia, where they moved from their native Minnesota. They came to Philly for law school at Drexel University, but currently only Danielle has remained strong in her quest. She recently reached the end of her first year, and is now a legal rock star! For the summer she is interning at Philadelphia VIP (see post of February 26, "Spotlight: Philadelphia VIP"). Rory dropped out and is now working for a federal contractor as a writer. Check out the blog, where these happily-married white kids post about their adventures in food, a little travel, and then some more well-earned food. Sometimes, when Rory is asleep, Danielle even throws in some posts about crafts and other boring things, if you're into that.

A Thursday Evening

I want to start this post with a quick story about Reggie, Danielle's first plant. For those of you who don't know, Danielle has gradually been turning into a plant lady the past couple years, and has begun successfully networking with other plant people and engaging in several plant exchanges. The beginning of all of this madness was Reggie, a tiny cactus Danielle bought at a gift shop in Arizona when she, I and her father Tim road tripped to Las Vegas in January 2010. The painted pot, "Arizona" sign, and fake miniature cattle skull that came with Reggie have been empty for a couple weeks now, but the satisfaction and inspiration he brought to Danielle remain. She still names every single one of her plants, and now does much better keeping them alive. Among probably others that I am forgetting, Reggie left behind his siblings Petra, Walter, Suzy, and Liz Lemon.
In other news, we finally tried some actual pizza from our favorite neighborhood restaurant, Evan's Pizza. Funny that until now we have only had sandwiches there, right? Also funny that our posts involve mostly food, right? I guess it's because I am writing this post as I slowly starve while waiting for Danielle to get out of a meeting so we can walk home. I have no legitimate explanation for all the food talk in the other post, except that I am almost always hungry.
In other other news, grades were released yesterday, and Danielle and I are both still here. So no earthly or galactic shift which we could detect, but if you were hurt by one we can help you sue someone for it in about two and a half years. Nevertheless, we are planning to check out a japanese karaoke bar tomorrow and relieve the stress of the waiting, and the mounting pressure of summer jobs. Any excuse to drink and sing is de facto legitimate.
Unbelievably I am still waiting for my dear wife. If she doesn't get a move on, we are going to miss the season 6 premiere of 30 Rock! Nevermind, she made it. Take care and watch 30 Rock if you care about the future of art.
-Rory
