Yesterday’s happy hour was actually four hours of happiness with fun girlfriends:) I had two of these guys on the rocks sans salt. The first sip tasted like a warm, tropical vacation. After lots of chatting, we ordered dinner at the bar. Shrimp and crawfish quesadilla…need I say more? I had half of this guy and brought the other half home to Matt who was delighted to receive leftovers of the best mexican meal in Boston. I had one…

An orange squash brought much joy to my life last night. I dressed up as a lobster, met up with a vampire… as well as a cop and a hunter… and headed to a pumpkin beer festival at the Cambridge Brewing Company!!!!!!! When we arrived, there was a huge wait, but we braved the cold for an hour and a half because we LOVE beer. It was totally worth it in the end. We were ravenous when we finally got…
Things are starting to get busy at work, which is good, but it means I came home very tired today. Thinking that I’d broken my fear of going home before the gym, I decided to repeat yesterday’s routine and relax before taking a 5 o’clock spinning class. Nope, didn’t happen. I guess my epiphany just wasn’t as exciting today. But, I did clean the kitchen and start on a project for work that I had been putting off for a…
They’re here! My apt is all clean and ready for guests… and the guests came bearing gifts! These are cupcakes (that obviously got damaged in transport) from Fancy Cakes by Leslie in Bethesda!!! They were all delish, but the red velvet with purple icing was my fav. I’m assuming the ganache frosting may have had soy lecithin in it, but I made an exception, and had no adverse reactions [yet]!!! We popped open a bottle of wine from my small…
Yesterday was delightful. The other intern and practicum students at work were kind enough to bring in lots of treats in celebration of my birthday (and the other fall birthdays at work). I didn’t try everything (because of soy lecithin), but these pumpkin cookies (made by Lauren) were awesome and almost cake-like. I also had some homemade apple crisp made with apples picked over the weekend! I felt a little lost after work because I didn’t know if I should…
Celebrating is so fun:) Especially when it means going out to dinner on a week night! We chose Turner Fisheries, a swanky Back Bay restaurant that focuses on serving fresh, sustainable fish, simply because we had a restaurant.com gift certificate. When in grad school, the budget rules… That would be Mahi in a brown butter sauce over lobster pilaf. This was tasty and satisfying, but not incredible. Though Chunks of lobster are always appreciated on a Tuesday night. Thanks for…
Yesterday, Matt came home with this: He found it right around the corner at our local liquor store!!! But, because we’ve had Pumking a lot lately, we decided to save it and have these instead: The Octoberfest was awesome, but in a kind of generic way. The pumpkin ale, on the other hand, is going up there on my list because it was on the stronger side (how I like them) and a little spicy. Matt and I split these…
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…
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…
