Thoughts, experiences and adventures from a resident of DelSo aka Delaware Avenue South in Albany, N.Y.
Sunday morning I awoke very early, even earlier than the time my alarm was set for and that was at an hour that I hadn’t started my day at in months. I pulled some clothes on, brushed my teeth and texted my fellow sunrise appreciative vacationer friend to confirm that she was awake and ready … Continue reading Daybreak
Taste Finn’s girl dinner: The Caesar salad is a dynamite medley of crisp/crunchy/salty/fishy/cheesy. So good. The fries are a most worthy companion.
