Walking There: New Perspectives
We used to walk or bike to school, but as the little guy outgrew the stroller and the Trail Gator, but still isn’t confident on a bike we thought we were stuck driving. After a year of driving, we were all ready for a change. I announced to the kids that it would be really…
Stepping Past Fear: Walk a mile in those shoes
I don’t like to fail. I don’t think anyone does. The differences among us is that some of us handle failure better than others. Taking it further, I think we all handle some failures fairly well and others not at all. So what does this have to do with today? As you may know, I’ve…
Long Story Short: Breakfast to Lunch to dinner
As you probably noticed I’ve been on a bit of a smoothie kick lately. It occurred to me after making a few sauces lately that in a way a sauce is like a savory smoothie. I know that doesn’t seem earth shattering, but you see, I’ve always understood the importance of sauces but have been…

PIN: Pencil It In
Initially I wanted this series of posts to be “Save the date”, but on second thought I wasn’t so sure that STD was the best acronym for all things fun and fabulous going on around town. This is a quick series of posts that I hope to do weekly but I know sometimes it will…
Yom Kippur Smoothie: A treat to sip all day
As you may know, I’ve been on a bit of a green smoothie kick. I think with back to school, back to work, and back to life as we knew it in general smoothies just work. There is a lot of pressure on this holiest day of the year to start it off right and…
A Night of Stars: Boston Ballet on Boston Common
Boston Ballet is starting their season al fresco on Boston Common on Saturday, September 21st. Summer might be the season of outdoor performances but really there’s nothing better than snuggling up on and in a blanket on the common to be led away on a journey of beauty, grace, and storytelling. This is Boston Ballet’s…
The Modern Rotisserie Saves Rosh Hashanah
It used to be that I could count on Bakers’ Best for all my holiday needs. Whatever I did not have time, desire or ability to make I could pick up at Bakers’ Best to round out my menu. A few years ago Bakers’ Best closed their restaurant/deli/takeout spot and decided to just do catering….
All things lead to dumplings: Asulia
Sue Liang, the person, the story, the inspiration behind Asulia, a company that brings together dumplings and charitable giving seamlessly, is quietly making dumplings with a kitchen full of ingredients in Boston. Sue Liang is not a trained chef, but her story is full of many layers, and on occasion it is those life experiences…
A Culinary Main Squeeze Trots into Somerville
I’ve always had a bit of a culinary crush on Tony Maws. When my boyfriend and I first moved to Cambridge we actually came close to moving into an apartment just above what was then …oh its on the tip of my tongue.. American something? Butter something? Anyone remember the name of the restaurant space…
