Working in an office has its perks.
Not many, but there are a few – for example, internet connectivity, air conditioning, and proximity to office supplies. But the real bonus is working next to an awesome lunch spot. They make Fridays so much sweeter.
I have raved about Viga Italian [...]
I meant to post this recipe before Passover. Clearly, I didn’t.
As soon as the boxes of Yehuda Matzos show up on the shelves in March, I stock up. Matzo makes a great pantry stable, I think it goes with everything: peanut butter, jam, hummus, and salsa. Have you ever heard of baking matzo in [...]
For the past three years, I have accompanied Justin to his company’s holiday dinner at Il Capriccio in Waltham. I am having a hard time believing we’ve been working professionals for three years already. I suppose time flies when you are having fun working the 8-5.
We started with a round [...]

Mamma mia, what’s with the apron? I was feeling the 1950′s vibe last night, so I put on an apron and set up for a pasta-making photoshoot. That’s what women did in the 50′s, right?
With my apron on, white light clamped to the cabinet, and a box propped up in the corner [...]
Living within Boston city limits has perks. Many of them are culinary. Great grocery stores, access to farmer’s markets, and thousands of dining options.
I decided to keep track of everywhere I dine around the city on what I call Eat Maps.
I add pins for every place I have been to, Justin [...]
This weekend, we dined at Il Capriccio in Waltham for a holiday party. Justin’s company is small, so an intimate dinner setting for the holiday party was an option. Unlike my company of 100+, where we have to rent out a space.
Last year, there were only a handful of employees at dinner. [...]
Still chugging along with my eye on the weekend. I was hoping to share this recipe earlier in the day, but work swallowed me whole.
Here is what I made last night for lunch today, and my dinner tonight before heading to class.
Chicken Cacciatore
1 medium bell pepper 2 cups broccoli, chopped [...]
