If you missed part 1 of my favorite things from our recent Oregon/Washington vacation, check them out! We ate a lot on this trip, most of which was really delicious. I don’t think we had a bad meal the entire time, but we generally read menus before we decide on a place and I’m not [...]
I do not like picking favorites. I hate when people ask me my favorite food, drink, historical time period, color, musician or television show. I like a lot of things. I don’t like limiting myself. But I have 2 choices: I can either highlight my favorite things from our recent trip to Oregon and Washington, [...]
It’s amazing how quickly vacation can seem like it was years ago. We’ve been home for 10 days, but that relaxed, carefree feeling that comes from not wearing make-up or having a schedule for a week is quickly disappearing. It’s probably just as well that it took me awhile to write Part 2 of this [...]
This is a post about being on vacation. It’s also post about “going home”. The Boothbay region (and its restaurants) have been a part of my life since I was about 2. Some of these places have been favorites all my life, some of them are more recent additions. But last week, when Brian and [...]
In case you missed the memo, I love our CSA. It makes me want to quit my job and live on a farm (not that I’m going to…). I thought I’d attempt to explain my love by showing off some of the photos I took last week: (Please let me know if the slideshow doesn’t [...]
Brian and I are on a much needed break from school this week. We decided to stick close to home and do some day trips, instead of spending our whole vacation traveling. Ever since I discovered how close Brian lived to the Vermont border, I’ve had plans to go to Ben and Jerry’s. Granted, Ben [...]
Autumn is absolutely, hands down, my favorite season of the year. I love the weather, the leaves changing colors, the start of school (really, I do), apples, pumpkins, cider, Thanksgiving… My in-laws came up to visit yesterday and Brian and I decided we should check out The Apple Barn and Country Bakeshop in Bennington, Vermont. It’d [...]
According to my sister, I am now officially old. Easy for her to say, she’s still a young and spry 21. I, on the other hand, am officially a quarter-century old. 25. How did that happen?! Okay, enough whining. I had a really awesome birthday. Yesterday Brian took me to Harney and Sons for tea, [...]
This weekend, while out and about, the husband and I stopped by Dunkin’ Donuts. We’re really, really big Dunks fans. The store we went to was carrying the new “Toffee for Your Coffee” donut. It’s a glazed sour cream donut with heath bar bits on top. I actually voted for this donut last year [...]
Brian and I spent most of our time in Philly in the Old City. We did a ton of walking in that area alone. However, I couldn’t quite resist making the hike to Center City to see Reading Terminal Market. How could I forgo checking out “the best, freshest and liveliest public market since 1893″? [...]
