There is a reason the New York Times called My Brilliant Friend the best book of the century. It is magnificent. The prose, elegant and evocative. It's, well, brilliant. Read it.

Foodie friends, check out this marvelous new Inquirer feature on restaurants across the city and beyond. Then bookmark it. You'll want to return to it again and again. It's fabulous. inquirer.com/food/inq2/best…

New England clam chowder. Perfect for a cloudy day.

I might have overdone it a bit at the farmers' market today while gathering late-summer tomatoes. (And don't even ask me about corn - or cucumbers, or peppers, or eggplant, or green beans ... and so much more.) Summer's bounty is such a gift, even as the season wanes.

Beautiful flowers for a friend's birthday.

Mad love for this vase that looks like a book. It's filled with roses from the #FlowerShow. @PHSgardening

Beautiful lilies from the Philadelphia #FlowerShow. @PHSgardening

Cranberry walnut upside down cake for Thanksgiving dessert. Yum.

Unbelievable. Only in Philly. And during Bruckner's Symphony No. 9, no less. You go @nezetseguin. inquirer.com/entertainment/…

After two disappointing years, the Philadelphia #FlowerShow is back where it belongs and it does not disappoint. Don't miss it. It's a delightful harbinger of spring. @PHSgardening.

The pit bull fatally shot by Philly’s top FBI agent severely injured another dog earlier this year, neighbors say inquirer.com/news/jacquelin…

Potato and fennel soup is warm and comforting on a cold winter's day.
