Beer, pizza, friends…I had a hard time concentrating on bowling with so much other stimulation in my environment! That’s my excuse anyway. Beer one was a Tuckerman’s Headwall Alt. from North Conway, NH. He was quite refreshing, but a little too generic for the buds. Number two was pleasing – a Belgian IPA by Clown Shoes that was spicy and light up front with a slight hop on the finish…Loved it! I also loved the pizzas served from American Flatbread at…

Weekends just come and go so quickly:( Around eight last night, I found myself drooling over this delicious piece of meat at Tasty Burger. I had planned on ordering the veggie burger, but when the waitress said it was actually made of tofu and not vegetables, I decided it wasn’t for me. My body does not seem to be a fan of soy products. It took me a moment to get over how much grease was dripping from he burger,…
Wow, I feel so much better knowing I’m not the only person in the universe without cable. Thanks for the interesting comments! Sooo, my IEP meeting ended up being just fine because the parents didn’t show and the team had a more casual discussion without them. I took the day off from the gym so that I could spend my afternoon baking for a girls gathering tomorrow night. I’ll show you the final product tomorrow, but let’s just say I…
To me, the super bowl means only one thing: nachos. But instead of going out this year to spend $12.95 on some greasy platter with old chili on top, I decided to make a heartier version at home. The key to the awesome flavor combination was WF’s spicy black beans, the sweetness of the peach mango salsa combined with the perfect pillows of sweet potato, and a local salsa-infused white cheddar. I cooked the cubed sweet potatoes just as I…
For our weekly date night, Matt and I headed to Harvard square to have a beer at an old favorite and eat dinner at a new gem. Grafton Street Pub has been one of our favorite restaurants since we first ventured to Cambridge during my graduate school interviews – the atmosphere is urban but cozy and the beer selection is great. I ordered the Berkshire Brewing Co. Cabin Fever, which was perfectly balanced and very drinkable. We warmed up at…
Oh pint, I love you. I started my weekend off on the right note with drinks with the girls in a cozy bar. I think I’ve mentioned before that Sam’s Boston Brick Red is one of my go-to local beers. I actually don’t think it’s sold outside of Boston. I actually split this second beer with Lauren. It was a Harpoon UFO White, which I generally like, but not so much on a freezing cold winter day. At this point…
Hello from Portland, the beer capital of New England! I love Amtrak because it’s such a relaxing way to travel. I read my novel for an hour and Matt and I had pb and j for lunch. We arrived at Jeff’s this afternoon and caught up on fun cable shows before heading out to dinner at Nosh Kitchen. I had a Smuttynose Maibock, which was thick and delicious, but very high in alcohol. I had to sip it slowly! Matt…
Good morrow to ya. Sooo, I’m traveling to Portland, Maine today via Amtrak because Matt’s friend Jeff invited us skiing!!!! Jeff grew up in Portland, so we’re going to be spending tonight at his house and then skiing at Shawnee Peak on Sunday. Tomorrow will only be my fourth ski trip ever, so wish me luck! Growing up in the south, I didn’t ski for the first time until college, so I still get nervous when I get to the…
Today was the life… I slept till 8:30 and had oatmeal on the couch while watching the news. I got a ton of job stuff done this morning and then ran a leisurely 4 miles on the treadmill while watching the snow fall. I enjoyed a warm working lunch with Matt (the Habanero wrap is stuffed with ham, spinach, and buffalo cheddar) And I worked on a psych report while sipping a mini beer this afternoon. Matt and I finished…
