It’s hard to believe that summer is coming to an end. Because we relocated right smack dab in the middle of it, I feel like I haven’t been able to fully appreciate the wonderful foods of summer. And, I haven’t had a chance to see the ocean:( We all know the kitchen and I haven’t really been friends this summer. But when a coworker bought me a bag of fresh herbs from her garden, I had a small yearning to…

Boston is truly an amazing city filled with great restaurants, unique bars, and beautiful sights… Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you the my Best of Boston! I apologize that I don’t have links to all of the recommendations – I visited some of these places before I started blogging. Obviously, most of my categories are food related, starting with the best… Places to Eat Pizza The Pizza and Ice Cream Company (PICCO) Coppa Penguin Pizza Places for a Cocktail The…
Happy, Happy Saturday! Yes it is. It’s so fun just having a day to myself. I’ve already gotten so many things accomplished and we’re meeting friends for dinner tonight! Last night was low-key because, after two indulgent weekends, we decided a night in was in order. Around 5 o’clock I started getting that itch to go out, but as soon as we popped open a bottle of Rheinhessen, the urge went away. This was FAB-U-LOUS. My perfect white wine and…
Good evening, Anything exciting happen this weekend? If you guessed that I ate and drank my way through the weekend, you’d be correct! I also laughed, a lot. You see, Kath gave Matt a gift card to a local comedy club for his birthday and we cashed it in last night for two tickets to see a visiting comedian. Matt was playing soccer yesterday afternoon, so we didn’t have a whole lot of time to grab dinner before the show…
Good weekend? Mine was pretty ordinary until I had a phenomenal beer and pizza experience last night. Matt and I had a gift certificate for a hole-in-the-wall joint called Penguin Pizza that’s been recommended to me numerous times for the extensive beer list. I actually would have stayed there all night if we didn’t have plans to meet up with friends right after dinner. I had the Widmer Barrel-Aged Brrbon, which is the best thing my lips has tasted since,…
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…
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…
After years of talking about it, Matt and I finally made it to the Liberty hotel. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Boston, the Liberty is an old jail that was converted into a swanky hotel with some of the original structural features still intact. And it exceeded all expectations. You must go if you’re ever in the area! There was a short wait for a table at Scampo, one of the restaurants at the Liberty, so we…
