22/02/11 Domenic’s

I have this love hate relationship with lunch. I get bored easily with lunch options, I’m usually too lazy to make my own lunch, and I don’t want to eat a dinner meal for lunch either. A few weeks ago, I had to drive my boss to the oral surgeon (Dr. Ken MacAfee-if you have […]

22/02/11 A Weekend in Maryland

Who’s excited to drive around all weekend in this nifty whip?!? The Nissan Cube! Yikes!! This was my ‘upgrade’ from a compact car….not so sure if our definition of upgrade is the same…Driving this hot number around was like driving a Fred Flinstone car! We start the weekend off at Phillips seafood for dinner located […]

21/02/11 Treat Cupcakes

I frequently go to Treat Cupcake Bar during the week. I went on a Sunday afternoon and the place was MOBBED. There were lots of kids making their own cupcakes and people like me, redeeming their buywithme.com coupon. There store is so great for kids, everyone was having a ton of fun. They have an […]

20/02/11 Madarin Gourmet

We stopped in to pick up some take out from Mandarin Gourmet. I am always on the hunt for great Chinese food. We peeked into the dining room, I really liked the traditional look of it. The broth of the wonton soup was flavorful-not watered down like some can be. The wontons were tasty, minus […]

20/02/11 Foundry on Elm

It was fate when I saw Foundry on Elm’s coupon-I had been meaning to get over there for quite some time. Located in the heart of Davis Square, it’s best to take public transportation because parking can be rough. I worked with David Flanagan a lifetime ago- I know what he’s capable of, and couldn’t […]

  Chocolate lovers will swoon at our newest creations, inspired by favorite bakery treats. The Limited Edition collection includes rich, dark, Chocolate Lava Cake with a spectacular molten fondant center; I was surprised at the molten center, even though I knew it was coming-pretty good though, very rich. spicy Carrot Cake “frosted” in milk chocolate […]

19/02/11 Godiva Nut and Caramel Collection

Starting on the top left, going down and then across by column: Roasted almond-roasted almond butter with almond nibs in milk chocolate. A little bit on the gritty side, really tasted like almond butter. Pecan Caramel Duet-crunchy pecan pulled caramel over chocolate caramel, enrobed in milk chocolate. The caramel is dense-I loved the crunchy pecans […]

17/02/11 MET Bar Legacy Place

When you step inside the MET Bar, you feel like you are inside a casino. It’s pretty dim, there are flashy lights, mirrors made to look like windows, an ornate bar…need I say more? When you walk in, look left for the hostess stand, otherwise you might just think they don’t have one. We sit […]

17/02/11 Hampton Popcorn

My friend from college owns the Hampton Popcorn Company. I love her to death, and would shamelessly promote her stuff no matter what, but it is ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD. The popcorn comes in a variety of flavors-there is certainly something for everyone: kettle corn, cheese popcorn, caramel corn, chocolate covered caramel corn etc. And this […]

17/02/11 Santarpio’s

When I was a kid, my parents always used to stop at Santarpio’s for pizza on the way home from the airport. Located in East Boston, they only accept cash, but if you visit their other location in  Peabody, you can pay with a credit card. East Boston offers take-out, but only for pizzas. Everyone […]
