Boston Tourism

If you’ve been on my Flickr lately, you know I just uploaded a whole bunch of new pictures.  They show my birthday surprise at the Taste of South Boston, a friend’s bridal shower, and of course, Bermuda. Two weeks ago, I also had the chance to show one of my high school friends around Boston for the first time.  Showing off Boston [...]

Bermuda

In March, Brian & I went to Bermuda to take advantage of my last Spring Break before I finish school.  (That’s in 85 days, by the way, not that I’m counting.)  Bermuda was beautiful and relaxing, but also a little strange.  It’s a tiny island and you can explore all the main areas in just [...]

Boston Organics: April 20

A few weeks ago, I started our Boston Organics deliveries back up. We only get the smallest box every other week, but I love cooking with my organic food, especially now that I’m on break for a few weeks. I’ve been working on updating my No-List and really making this box work for us.  Inspired [...]

One More

It’s nice when others are able to express the things we do not know how to say. My initial reaction to Friday’s manhunt was a lot like this: Compassion for Dzhokhar? Call Me Crazy.

Quick Meals

Here are two quick dinners I made this week that I feel really good about: Monday: Chicken marsala, spaghetti squash, and parmesan herb green beans.  The spaghetti squash was so delicious, especially when I tossed it with a little olive oil, salt, pepper, red pepper and parmesan.  It’s slightly sweet and very filling.  I definitely [...]

Happy Belated Birthday Mr. B

A few weeks ago, it was Mr. B’s birthday, and it was quite chocolate filled!  I took him out to Max Brenner for dinner fondue.  Plus there were those decadent leftover truffles I made him for Valentine’s Day.  And then, that weekend, there was his cake. I decided on a Chocolate Kahlua Cake that combined [...]

New York

Last weekend, my aunt met Mr. B and me in New York.  She took us to see Book of Mormon, which was hilarious.  We strolled around and enjoyed some lovely meals. I love taking photos in New York – especially in Times Square.  It’s so frantic there that you can get right next to people [...]
