17/02/11 Hotel Chocolat

The cesar-delicate chocolate cup piped full of praline textured with caramelised nut pieces (3 chocolates per serving/ 237 calories per serving). I really liked this piece, smooth and creamy with added crunch from the hazelnuts- a really nice flavor. The H box. What’s inside. The brownie-our version of the classic bake: pecan paste, chocolate and […]

17/02/11 Happy Goat

I saw this company featured on one of my daily emails I receive, honestly I can’t remember which one….I get so many. I am not really a goat milk or goat cheese kind of gal, so for me to buy these was stepping outside my comfort box. They were almost $7 for 2oz., and cost […]

Buywithme.com coupon in hand, we trek out to Southborough one night for a dinner. $50 for a three course prix fixe dinner FOR TWO with wine pairings. I thought it was a good deal when I bought it, but thought it was an even better deal as we were enjoying our meal. The voucher was […]

08/02/11 Garrison Confections

I received an email from Garrison Confections (Andrew Shotts) for Valentine’s Day-I’m on their list. I first saw them years ago on Rachael Ray-featuring their Rocky Rhode Island. They had a retail store in Rhode Island, that closed back in 2008 (?), but they open up their factory store during the holidays. So this past […]

07/02/11 The Savant Project

My new years resolution was to be less addicted to groupon, buywithme etc. It lasted about a day. I bought a groupon to The Savant Project in Mission Hill and went on a Monday night with a friend of mine. We made a reservation for 6:30pm. I walked in and it was pretty empty. She […]

01/02/11 Broccoli with Cheetos

I happened to be browsing Saveur magazine and came across this recipe that I just HAD to make. It tasted like broccoli and cheddar soup-so yum! And the Cheetos added a really nice crunch to the dish, make sure to serve immediately otherwise the cheetos get soggy and that’s no fun! Start with 2 cups […]

01/02/11 Masala Art

We came here the Monday after the Christmas snowstorm with some friends. We were surprised that so many people were out. The room is quite spacious but the noise level was low. The server was immediately table side bringing us water and asking us about other beverages. We ordered the basket of naan-I love naan, […]

01/02/11 The Cottage, Part 2

The Cottage, take 2. We liked lunch so much the first time that we went back for another try. This time we sat in the main dining room, which was quite a bit more noisy. Again, glad we made a reservation because it was packed. The Patty Melt  ($12) angus beef (cooked medium), caramelized onions, […]
