Oh, La

Cooking

Anyone have an exciting Friday? I started mine with another brew from our Just Beer collection… The Moby D doesn’t have huge flavor but it’s dark, smooth, and malty. A good beer if you plan on having more than one drink or are trying to fit pizza in your stomach as well…. I finally made homemade crust!! I found this recipe for thin crust in my new Best of Food & Wine cookbook from Matt’s parents. It was so easy…

Cheesy

Uncategorized

Well hello there friends. Despite the humid weather in Boston, today was quite nice. I was finally able to get in touch with some students to schedule counseling times,  so next week I will be seeing lots of students! And, tomorrow is an easy day because I’m am going off-site to asses an out-of-district case with my supervisor. I made some extra spaghetti last night to bring to work for something different today. I usually get excited to have pasta…

Pizza Perfect

Uncategorized

How is it Sunday already? Remember when I started blogging because time was moving way too fast? Well, I think it’s moving even faster now. At least I’ve soaked up every minute of the weekend this far… While getting ready for dinner yesterday, Matt and I cracked open this Elephant Rock Bock that my parents bought us during our visit to the Just Beer Brewery this summer. It was just as delicious as I remember – slightly hoppy, but still…

One Last Summer Night

Uncategorized

Yesterday was in the 80’s, so Matt and I decided to use a restaurant.com gift certificate for an upscale Irish bar with a fun patio to soak up one last summery night. It seems everyone else had the same idea, because on our walk, there were so many people out enjoying the warm weather. Cuffs is located in the Back Bay hotel and has a huge selection of appetizers and reasonably priced entrees. Matt and I both started with a…

Bring on the Weekend

Clothing

Woohoooooo!!! Another week of adulthood down (not that I’m counting). This week’s lineup: Although I haven’t been good about laying out clothes, the whole dress like an adult but still feel comfortable and fashionable thing is going well. But, I may need to make a shoe purchase soon… On Fridays, the departments take turns putting on a breakfast for all of the staff. Another intern and I decided to check it out and there was a pretty impressive spread, including…

The Not So Savant Project

Uncategorized

If Saturday mornings are for being productive, Sunday mornings are for relaxation. I was sitting around and playing on my computer when this guy made me jump right out of my seat. Good thing he was a ‘nice’ bug and not something scary. Matt rescued him in a cup and sent him on his way. So about last night…we had an interesting experience at a newish restaurant called The Savant Project. Before dinner, I cleaned house and enjoyed my new…

A Whole New Meaning

Uncategorized

Friday just felt fab-u-lous! I think the weekends are going to have a whole new meaning for me:) After work, I got a hair cut and the head massage felt sooo good. I may have finally found a hair place that I like (and can afford) in Boston. I just got a trim, so you probably can’t tell a difference. My hair cut was in Fenway, so afterwards, I had to walk against hundreds of people going to the Red…

A Platform for Cheese

Uncategorized

Hola. This weekend was relaxing and simple and I loved it. Saturday, I met this guy: here: to do this: I went to Healthworks first, but after barely breaking a sweat on the elliptical, I decided my time was better spent outdoors than on a machine in an empty room. After b-ball, I showered and waited for the bus to Harvard Square! Cambridge Common has been on my list for a looong time and a reader also recommended it recently.…

An Evening of Pizza + Piano

Uncategorized

Anyone have a good Friday? I did because pizza was on the menu. I didn’t like pizza growing up because I hated anything involving tomatoes. But, when I went to college, I discovered that pizzas don’t just come from Dominoes (I grew up in a tiny town) and that they can have endless combinations of toppings that don’t have to include tomatoes. I’ve been in love with pizza ever since and have it quite frequently to make up for lost…
