You can't go home again

On my way back from NYC, I decided to drop in on Philly. I used to work there for a time, and one of the things that I really loved was the profusion of good Italian food. You could pretty much just throw a rock down the street and it'd land in front a great Italian joint. One in particular I really liked, so I went by to grab some grub.

The place is still there (a good sign), and the menu hasn't changed much in several years (either a rather good sign or rather bad). I asked the waiter if the chef was the same as from then and he told me that it was (although I think he was a little annoyed that I was asking such a question). So I ordered a dish that I remembered really liking.

Well, you know how sometimes you remember things as being better than they were? That wasn't the case here. I think I would have remembered the very few pieces of chicken that did come with the pasta dish I order as having really big green streaks across the surface. That's the sort of thing you don't forget. Ah well, another thing that you can't go back to.
