Yes! We're back! Me and my new pounds! Yay!
I had a wonderful vacation in Philadelphia. I've lived there some years ago, so it's not like I needed to visit all the turistic sites, I just used my time to be with my friends and... eat. What else did I do?
I went to a big Bar Mitzvah party!
I've walked arround town a LOT!
I ate tons of Kugel (love that stuff)!
I've visited a famous bakery in Philly and was allowed into the kitchen where they were baking cookies. The baker was so nice to give me a bag of freshly baked ones still warm from the oven. Oh lucky me!
I went to the Reading Terminal Market and ate soft pretzels.
I've spent a day in New York and I met and laughed with two crazy french food bloggers !
I've seen squirrels in Central Park and tried to take pictures of them.
I went to Levain Bakery...
... and ate a huge chocolate chip cookie!
I also had to try Jacques Torres famous cookie.
I've been followed by a group of piegons (maybe the smell of cookies?)...
I've bought (and ate) a lot of candy!
I've seen the Christmas tree at the Rockefeller Center!
And as if I hadn't have enough cookies I've baked some more with the kids!
Ok, back home: diet time. Oh no! There's Christmas arround the corner... Oh well...

Looks like you had so much fun! And all that food is making me hungry!
OK, I am now officialy wanting a cookie, a soft pretzel (I love the ones in Philly), another cookie, and Kugel (how have I lived 36 years and not had this stuff?)!! Your trip sounds like it was a blast! Your pics cracked me up, by the way :)
Glad you are back!
Ok. I'm officially dying with envy. I will not talk to you until you come bake chocolate chip cookies in my kitchen. *turns back with crossed arms* Kidding, of course.
Dá para ver pela quantidade de fotos de comida que foi um tempo bem passado! O que eu gostava de passar um diazinho em NY!
Depois diz-me quando é que fazemos as bolachas para eu saber quando é que volto a falar contigo. ;)
I love the pictures and your funny commentary. Thanks for sharing. That's the fun of going away-the eating and the eating... I"m glad your back!
ohh the pictures are lovely and it looks like you had a wonderful time! :)
Glad you had fun! How did you get into the kitchen at the bakery? Because you if just said "I'm a food blogger, why don't you show me your kitchen?", then I have a new hobby. :)
Welcome back! Glad you had a wonderful time.....now get to baking! Ha-ha!

Oh gosh Rita, lucky for you you didn't flash your cookies at us, they look heavenly, I would probabaly have attacked you! I love misshapen cookies - it's my motherly side ("I like you even if you're ugly") hehe :-)

So jealous of your Levain cookie. Was it amazing?
welcome back! You have great photos for us, that is nice! ;)
Sooo.I am dying to know..are the chocolate chip cookies all they are cracked up to be at the Levain Bakery?
I discovered this blog (via NotQuiteNigella) while you were away and I spent about half a work day reading the posts - I'm now a fan. Glad you're back, those cookies make me hungry.
Oh, and I'm making the "best chocolate cake" ever meringue/mousse/ganache concoction tomorrow for my father's birthday cake.
Levain Bakery rocks! I have the perfect clone recipe.
That pic of times square looks kinda empty...was it the pic or was it really empty there?
Philly has the best pretzels...ever!
What a fun trip! I'm jealous even though I was just in NY weeks before you! ;)
Cookies, yummy cookies!
Diet Schmiet!
Oh, P.S. Those cookies in the Philly bakery looks de-lish! Hope you saved one for me! ;)

Great dessert photos. I love this time of year!

Who you're calling crazy? :-)
If i knew you were carrying cookies i would have shaken you like a plum tree! haha :-P
It was a pleasure meeting you Rita, and i hope next time you're in town you can stay longer so we have a chance to have a feast together! (I didn't say orgy, i said feast!) hahaha
Looks like a great trip! I hate coming home with vacation pounds. It happens to me all the time.
Diet? You're ruining it Rita!! NO diet, only moments to enjoy good food in the company of good friends on another continent ;)
Looks like you had a wonderful time! Great pictures, thanks so much for sharing them.
Welcome back, you and your pounds ;) Looks like you had a wonderfully delicious time.
It sounds like you had a great time!

Oh WOW Welcome Backkk!! What a great time it seems like you had ^^! Lucky youu indeed! Yummy photos and yay for cookies cookies and more cookies
Hey I missed you too! Look at all these super cool pictures! You've been through alot between partying, walking, and eating :)
Things are going pretty well. Just crazy with the holidays is all. I'm working my way back into posting again, slowly :)
What a great trip. I really really really miss NYC. Thanks for the great pics and happy Holidays!
I live in NYC and all I can say is MUST GET A LEVAIN COOKIE!
Glad you had such a fun time!
Wow, looks like you had a fabulous time!
welcome back home! pounds you gain on vacation dont count! Don't you know that? hehe. what is kugel anyways?
Oh, don't fool yourself. It's proved by... you know, byu smart people, that is IMPOSSIBLE to diet before New Year. Like really impossible. And I know. So I just decided I was going to eat like a pig until Dec 31 and then, but only then, diet. I think you should do the same too. Haha
It seems like you had a wonderful time! Love all the pics. It makes me wanna go there right away!
Happy Holidays, Clumbsy Cookie :)

Glad you had fun! Happy holidays!
merry Christmas kevin!
Yay, welcome back! Your vacation sounds fab. Eating nonstop is basically my ideal vacation, so I was glad to see all the cookies and baked goods. :) Did you go to Economy Candy in NY? Definitely my favorite candy store (Dylan's is way overrated.) Merry Christmas!
Hey, thats an interesting travelogue with pictures.
I would also like to wish you Merry Christmas and wonderful ushering into new year 2009.
Heya , Wish you very Happy Holidays !
Sounds like you had such a fun trip! I just got back from NY myself, it was so packed! Glad your back, missed your yummy posts :).
Oh this makes me miss Philly! I used to live two blocks from Famous 4th St. Deli. Their cookies are delicious! Did you spot those at Reading Terminal too? RTM was my favorite place to walk around on the weekends.
Welcome back! Looks like you had a grand time.
