This post is going to be really cheesy.
One of my college girlfriends was visiting from the West coast, so I had a few people over for dinner last weekend. I planned a grilled cheese sandwich bar where everyone could construct their own sammies and I grilled them all on the griddle.
It [...]
How’s that for a title?
Today’s food feature is a happy one. I finally got food from a food truck! A month ago, I showed you the grilled cheese sandwich Justin got from a food truck near his work. I was jealous. Not long after that post, we went [...]
When I was a kid, I had a pen pal in England and we sent each other letters every so often. One time, I tried to mail her some rubber stamps in a small envelope. That is how I learned about the need for proper postage.
Shortly thereafter, the internet was invented. Pen pals became [...]
I don’t know much about popovers. They were a frequent baked good in my childhood, and yet I find them mysterious in many ways.
Why do they pop over? Does it make them taste better? What happens if they don’t feel like popping?
As a child, I accepted that no one will ever [...]
Thanksgiving came early for us this year. I am cooking up a storm today for a faux Thanksgiving feast. We are still going to spend Thanksgiving with family up in Maine for the actual holiday, but I really wanted to take on the challenge of pulling together a big holiday meal.

Broadcasting to you from Maine! Last night, we made the 3+ hour drive up to visit Justin’s mom while his father is abroad in Vietnam.
On the way, we stopped for dinner at The Continental restaurant and lounge in Saugus, MA. What a time warp!
This classic American establishment [...]
It is out of necessity that I learn make Indian food at home.
We just can’t afford all the take-out required to keep our curry-cravin’ bellies satisfied. In the past, I’ve prepared quite the spread of frozen Indian dishes care of Trader Joe’s. They sell simmer sauces, Indian Fare boxes, naan, and frozen samosas [...]
Fast food is a major component of the American diet, whether we like it or not.
The convenience of quick, on-the-go meals in undeniable, but it shouldn’t take precedence over proper nutrition. There doesn’t have to be anything morally wrong with enjoying a hamburger and french fries out of a paper bag. Just [...]
Everyone loves a good bakery. An exceptional bakery is something to be worshiped. Currently, I’m worshiping the delicious confections of Japonaise Bakery in Brookline.
At their Beacon Street location, you can find the most beautifully crafted cakes and pastries. This place is heaven to me! They also serve their own freshly [...]
