Yesterday afternoon I said goodbye to the high school and hello to the bar:) Let’s just say the beers were going down fast. I had a Sam Brick Red, Abita Purple Haze, and a Long Trail Ale over the course of the afternoon. I hung out with my co-interns as well as some new people and there were lots of good laughs. It was a really an amazing afternoon. Then, Matt arrived and bought me a mojito! A group…

I’m writing to you from the bus from Hyannis back to Boston! We’ve had a horrendous day of travel, but the weekend really couldn’t have been more perfect, so I knew something would probably go wrong on the way home. Despite arriving for the ferry 30 minutes ahead of time, there was an insane line for the first come, first serve boat. But since we had been assured that the 750-person ferry had only filled up a few times in…
Local beer and burgers, festive games and fun new friends, cocktails on the beach, a perfect sunset, and plenty of dancing, made for a fabulous day on the island. I’m headed to the beach to start day 2. See ya.…
After a lot of traffic and a foggy ferry, we made it to Nantucket around 8:30 last night. We had an easy going, but fun night at a bar that ended with fresh baked goods from Oliver’s (our host, and Matt’s good friend from college) mom. What a perfect night! Today has been very festive. After a quick jog, we headed into town for mid-morning cocktails. Someone in our group knew the bartender so this rum punch was strooong. Day-drinking…
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you The Most Amazing Cocktail. This was avocado pureed with lime, pineapple, coconut, and rum. Simple is beautiful. So, last night, we joined friends for dinner at Orinoco, a latin kitchen in Brookline (and in the South End). Everything about the evening, from the food to the friends was perfect. I started with the avocado heaven and Matt and I shared fried plantains with sun-dried tomato vinaigrette. They were awesome, but I think the regular…
Look at this cute usher I found at the wedding! This weekend’s wedding was held at a Santa Monica beach resort – there’s really nothing more beautiful than the ocean as the backdrop for a wedding. The only problem was the cold California breeze. The groomsmen are all Matt’s friends from Davidson. I drool over a man in a black tux…. The bride was breathtaking!!! The kiss… The girls warmed up with cocktails while the boys posed for pics. I…
So, back to the weekend? Yes please! Friday started with dinner and beer at Parish Cafe in Boston. Matt and I looove this place and Friday’s dinner was an example of why. I had an awesome Hazed and Infused and a special Berkshire Brewing Co. Pale ale that didn’t taste a bit like a pale ale. Both were lighter and thus went well with my enormous focaccia sandwich stuffed with portobellos, casa de roma cheese, and walnut-parsley pesto (with…
Dare I say spring has arrived? It’s nothing like NC, but it did reach 60 today and the world came out of hiding. I’m actually sitting outside in an adirondack chair on campus, though I’m wearing both a sweatshirt and a sweater and I’m wrapped in a towel just to stay warm. The weekend was pleasant. Friday, I was lucky enough to taste the brand new Peak Organic Belgian before it’s officially released (I didn’t quite understand why this was…
