WONDERS OF WATER 2018 PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW
Philadelphia Horticultural Society
This was my first year signing up to volunteer at the Philadelphia Flower Show. I got assigned to the Gardiner's Studio, that event featured the forthcoming entire re-modification of the area leading to and around the exterior of the Philadelphia Airport, all the design firms gave their presentations. I couldn't film that one, however, below I did a live feed of the presentation by the two gentlemen ultimately responsible for the themes and execution of the Philadelphia Flower Show

T&T Subscriber Select Dimyka Roberts
RED ELEPHANT TEA CO.
Of course each month is different: When most novice tea drinkers begin exploring the wonderful world of tea, it’s natural to become awestruck by the many varieties, as well as, by the vast tea companies and products. What’s more…if you are not careful, you will spend a ton on tea during the first few months of discovery. As a more experienced tea drinker, not only can you overspend on tea, but your pursuit of the highest quality tea blends and products tends to become elevated. It’s easy to become increasingly frustrated with each purchase that is not 100% meeting your fancy. The solution is in a RED ELEPHANT TEA BOX, an affordable way to explore premium tea samples and tea related products (from around the world) delivered to your doorstep each month. So if you have questions, or just wanna hit her up and say, "Hey, saw your great biz on T&T's Subscriber Select" email: redelephanttea@gmail.com or find Dimyka on social media: @RedElephantTea | facebook.com/RedElephantTea | #redelephanttea

15th ANNUAL TASTE OF SUCCESS
By Entrepreneur Works
UPTOWN BEER GARDEN 2017
EAST PASSYUNK FLAVORS ON THE AVENUE
April 30, 2017
Some Philadelphians may know this event as a food tent block party, called Flavors of the Ave. This year it's expanded to a Street Fest up and down East Passyunk Avenue called #FlavorsonAve.Still featuring the neighborhood’s astounding array of excellent restaurants, each of which will supply small-plate versions of their signature dishes. (over 20 restaurants participating).
Tickets, which can be purchased in advance, cover tasting everything the fest has to offer — a dish from each of the restaurants plus two beers from the beer wagon — and cost $50. OR pay for each dish à la carte, with an average of $3 to $6 per item.
Of course the shops on Passyunk will be open and participating with their own deals, and music will be heard from one corner to the next!
BOSTON MARKET ROTISSERIE CHICKEN FLAVORS
(Limited Time)
"We're always looking to bring Boston Market guests new and intriguing flavor profiles that truly complement our signature rotisserie chicken. We're eager to hear what our guests think of the new Sweet & Spicy Apple flavor and are excited to once again offer Parmesan Tuscan, as it was very popular when we introduced it for a limited time in years past.", stated George Michel, CEO at Boston Market.
The Parmesan Tuscan adds a very savory, well seasoned flavor to the skin. It made me wish I could get more skin to go with the chicken under the skin. Definitely turned out to be a favorite #CinemaSneaknSnack and worth the wait!
And no, I don't feel guilty for getting two starch sides, because I'd had kale for breakfast 😜 Would love to hear what you think, please leave a comment (see video above) on T&T's facebook page, if you've tried either of #BostonMarket signature rotisseries - Le Anne Lindsay, Editor
Boston Market Corporation, headquartered in Golden, CO, has given time back to busy families and individuals for 30 years with quality, home style meals at a convenient value in 459 U.S. locations. A staple on dinner tables, Boston Market prepares its fresh, never frozen natural chicken in signature rotisserie ovens and features an extensive selection of home style sides and made-from-scratch cornbread.
