The Italian Market, in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. But maybe you knew that already.
Where else can you walk among princes and paupers, with every ethnicity represented? Once again Bossy and her mom and her daughter — three generation of happy Bossy-like people — went to the Italian Market on Christmas Eve eve to collect all of the ingredients they’ll need for the long holiday weekend.
Thank you, Italian Market.

December 24, 2009 at 12:52 pmI still find the Italian Market gross, even after 22 years in the city, and living 1 mile from it. Just don’t like it–except for Fantes, of course!

December 24, 2009 at 3:07 pmI want a market like that nearby. But hmmm, really like living in the woods outside a small town. So, oh well.

December 24, 2009 at 3:09 pmJust took a quick break from preparing our traditional Sicilian Christmas dinner to check out your blog and oh my gah you’re at the Italian Market. Pick up some chestnuts, cardoons, artichokes and baccala and you’re there or here at my house. OK, we sub in salmon for the baccala, because really who has the time to reconstitute salted cod! Merry Christmas from the West Coast!

Wish I had a market, any kind, near me!

December 29, 2009 at 12:46 pmCheese guy is my new boyfriend. He looks unhappy because he’s wishing he were home with me, his little slice of gouda.
(Ok. Maybe not so little)
