homesickness

[Rogue Winter]

One of these (warmer) days when I can just take the train down and bum for a day or two, I'm gonna walk down Passayunk and head to Geno's. Definitely better than Pat's, imho. What's sad was the number of cheesesteak shops in the San Francisco area that had pictures of Jim's (4th and South) up on the wall. I never had a steak as bad as theirs until I went to Sunnyvale, California.

As for Tatstykakes, the only ones I ever got big cravings for were the pies. My sweet tooth kinda dimmed, and the butterscotch krimpets became just too sugary for me. But give me an apple or cherry a toxic yellow lemon tastypie, and I'm one happy scarfer.

Now that I'm in New Yawk rather than San Francisco, it's pretty easy to grab a pie or three when I'm visiting my parents, not to mention some Yuengling porter and - a new favorite they introduced me to - Hank's (as in State Senator Salvatore) root beer.
