Expand Your Waist Weekend





















With a friend visiting from out-of-town that appreciates the gastronomic delights Boston has to offer, the scene is set for a wondrous "expand your waist" weekend. Activities include:

1) A drink at "Top of the Hub" (complete with 360 views of Boston from the 52nd floor)

2) Dinner at Myers & Chang (cool surroundings but it's basically Asian bistro food)

3) Dessert at Sibling Rivalry (coz bread&butter pudding at 11pm is not a sin)

4) Brunch at Aquitaine
5) Dinner at Harvest (good but not monumental unlike last year's monkfish: see a previous post)
Drop by and see me in Boston - I'll take you out to EAT!

Graduation Party







Thanks to all the friends that descended upon our small abode! Armed with balloons, decorations, cake and cookery skills - this was the result ! Another big Chinese dinner including 3 luscious cold crabs. As I couldn't stop mentioning, a bargain at $1.99 a lb. Yes, that meant that whole dish of crab cost us less than $7 - read and weep you England peeps. The strawberry chocolate cake was delicious - if you think this cake looks slightly familiar, you are right. One of the earlier blog entries featured the very same cake but with white frosting. The cakes are from Konditor Meister - http://www.konditormeister.com/. Birthdays just got a whole lot more fattening....
