That Ain’t Rite

Posted on August 5, 2025 by Joe

20 to 30 years ago it seemed like new pharmacies were being built in South Philadelphia on top of one another. Now they all seem to be closing. Recently the area lost a CVS and a Walgreens and now this Rite-Aid on South Ninth Street is in it’s death throes. The convenient corner pharmacy has become a lot less convenient because it’s now a haul to pick up prescriptions.

Raspberry Rhubarb Pie

Posted on July 28, 2025 by Tina Garceau

There is still rhubarb in the market, along with enormous raspberries – so I thought I’d shake things up and combine them in a pie. Instead of a top crust, I made a crumble topping with light brown sugar and quick cooking oats. The tartness of the rhubarb merged with the sweetness of the raspberries is delicious!

I’ve slipped a color laser printout of my Teenage Beast drawing into the front of the binder in order to identify the contents. I’m pleased with the way this looks. It’s a hell of a lot better than a Dymo label. It makes it feel real like it’s a genuine product that will sit on a shelf.
