So about yesterday…. I had been planning on my typical lazy Sunday when Matt got the opportunity to take someone’s place in the Ras na hEireann, a 5k in honor of St. Patty’s day that takes place in Davis square. Though I’m not a runner myself, I love going to races because of the prime people-watching opportunities. And I obviously like to support Matt! I knocked out a little workout of my own at the gym before heading up to…

So, my plan last night was to make a homemade pizza and try to get the Duke game on ESPN.com. But then Matt and I both caught Friday night fever and after stumbling on the beer list at the Mission, we just couldn’t resist a fun night out. So, we hopped on the train to mission hill and scored a seat at the bar, right in front of the game. When I see beers I haven’t tried, I sometimes get…
Good weekend? Mine was pretty ordinary until I had a phenomenal beer and pizza experience last night. Matt and I had a gift certificate for a hole-in-the-wall joint called Penguin Pizza that’s been recommended to me numerous times for the extensive beer list. I actually would have stayed there all night if we didn’t have plans to meet up with friends right after dinner. I had the Widmer Barrel-Aged Brrbon, which is the best thing my lips has tasted since,…
I think I’ve found my favorite black bean burger. Last night, I made Anne’s Mexican Black Bean Spinach Burgers (although I only used a few leaves of spinach) and they were fANNEtastic:) Maybe it was the lemon juice or maybe it was the thick, freshly made buns I picked up from the bakery at Whole Foods, but I just loved these! I topped my burger with white cheddar and jalapenos and made an awesome batch of parsnip fries on…
Yo. I’ve not been getting enough sleep this week and I can feel a migraine coming on…or maybe it’s the bad cold Matt’s had this week. Either way, I’ve been tired, but not in the I can’t keep my eyes open kind of way. More in the the backs of my eyes are burning and I’m so tired I feel hyper kind of way. Ya know that kind of tired when you just feel wired? In general, it’s a bad…
I hear the shrimp season ended early in Boston this year because the shrimp men caught too many! Must be why they’ve been on sale so often. Anyway, I loved last week’s apricot chicken recipe so much (and it was so easy) that I decided to make a shrimp version this evening. Another winner…I think this was even better than the chicken! I also think this would be great with fish or as tacos. I just love the tropical (Mediterranean?)…
Hello. I won’t keep you guys waiting so it’s right back to where I left off…. After a short walk/run on Thursday morning, Matt and I set out with Lauren and Evan to do a little exploring along the Embarcadero. I knew I had to make a stop at the ferry building to sample a few things Kath has raved about on trips for San Fran… I purchased a very special chocolate bar and a nice hunk of goat gouda…
Hi Friends, Long time no see! Thanks for all the wonderful comments, both on my post about living in the moment and Kath’s tips for taking back the rest of the week! Please excuse me for not responding to comments right away though, as I’m living in the moment here on the west coast! The weather is a little chilly here, but it still felt wonderful to walk around in just a light coat yesterday. I spent most of the…
I may have a new favorite restaurant in Boston… Matt and I ventured to the new Back Bay restaurant Lolita for drinks and apps last night, and I loved it! The space is dark and swanky with exposed brick and red lighting. We hung out around the bar for a while before snagging a seat. I sipped on a glass of white sangria flavored with vanilla vodka, peaches, and pineapple. The chips and salsa spread was awesome! I believe these…
