Nothing like coming home to cupcakes on a Friday afternoon:) Kath, Kanz, and I split these three items (leaving the fourth part for Matt): red velvet, butterscotch, and a shot of cappacino. Totally awesome, but a bite of each was just not satisfying enough….I need my own piece of cake!!! After our snack, we headed to the Publick House for liquid nourishment. I started with a Victory brown ale spiked with coffee. It was lighter than other coffee beers I’ve…

Saturday night, Matt suggested we continue the celebration so we headed out to the Citizens Public House and Oyster Bar in Fenway I had a small Ommegang witte and then accidentally ordered a large Ommegang Belgian Pale ale. I was surprised that I really liked the pale ale; it had a sweeter, lighter finish than a lot of pale ales. Matt and I love splitting a variety of things, so we split the sweet ricotta with honey on crostini, two…
I can’t wait to… not think about cognitive intelligence or report-writing for five days, be warm and cozy, eat lots of delicious food that only comes once a year, enjoy a seasonal brew or two or ten, laugh with family and friends…. and celebrate all that I’m thankful for:)…
Hi guys, I whipped up a little guac this afternoon for the girls book club meeting tonight! The book was Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which I just couldn’t get through in time for the meeting. I still enjoyed the discussion, but after talking about the plot in-depth, I think I’ve had enough murder and sexual violence for now. The gathering was a nice break in the middle of the week. I enjoyed lots of fun food, friends, and wine.…
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…
Another wet day here, but I’m heading to the warm and festive nook known as the Border Cafe for drinks after work!!!! I do believe this will be my first happy hour (well, technically I’ve been many times, but it doesn’t count if you don’t go to work first). Also, a side note, drink specials are not allowed in Boston, so happy hour is really not any happier than other hours except for the fact that drinking after work tends…
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…
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…
Hiya, Pancake Tuesday got moved to Thursday this week due to the late night on Monday. I had completely forgotten about them, but Matt was busy in the kitchen when I got up:) These were extra special because there were chocolate chips hiding under that peanut butter. What a fabulous way to start the day. Today flew by because I left school to attend a fascinating lunch lecture on food addiction at the local community health center. I was surprised to…
