Foodie Photos

After a workout with SEAC‘s run club (I was 15 minutes late but made sure I ran my fastest during the final speedy laps around the track), I’m kinda tired. I’d rather read blogs than put a lot of effort into tonight’s post. Here are some fun food photos that I haven’t gotten around to [...]

My Last Meal

A popular conversation topic, especially among food lovers, is what you’d eat for your last meal. I don’t know if I could ever come to a definite answer.  I get cravings, and fall in and out of love with different foods every day.  But after dining with friends on Sunday night, I’m 90% sure that [...]

The Cottage Wellesley

I don’t get out much. Well, ok… Let me correct myself:  I’m always out and about, but I rarely leave the South End/Back Bay area of Boston!  If it’s more than a 15 minute walk, T ride, or cab drive away, forget it.  Earlier this week, Jared and I received a dinner invite that required [...]

Stir Fry, Iowa Style

After reading this post on Iowa Girl Eats, I was really craving tofu and stir fry. I adapted the recipe to fit my style.  I used: Nasoya cubed tofu Frozen broccoli spears Frozen snap peas Zucchini Ginger peanut sauce Brown rice I drained the tofu, cut open the bags of frozen broccoli and snap peas, [...]

The Ultimate Lazy Night

I’m moderately healthy.  I pay attention to what I eat and try to maintain a good balance of foods from various spots on the pyramid.  I exercise.  I stretch.  I get lots of sleep.  I drink lots of water, and lots of wine. So the other night I had to laugh: I ordered fast food [...]

Dad Thai

By the end of last weekend, I was sick and tired of turkey leftovers.  Still at my parents’ house, I encouraged Mom and Dad to get out of their comfort zones and try something adventurous for dinner. Plus I had a craving for Thai food. My dad was hesitant.  He had eaten Chinese before, but [...]

Friendsgiving

This year Jared and I opted to spend Thanksgiving with our very good friends.  They’re just as important as the members of our families! Matt and Natalie hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at their house in South Boston.  I was very thankful that Jared and I didn’t have to travel far to get there, just [...]

Focus on Food

I’m not a food blogger.  I’m just someone who occasionally blogs about food.  I like to take photographs of my meal and memorable food moments.  Food is fun! It’s a culinary triumph when I add onions and grape tomatoes to a couscous mix. Cheese and crackers always make such a pretty spread. I taught my [...]

Redbones BBQ

Early last week, one of my friends suggested a group outing at Redbones Barbecue in Somerville,  MA. One by one, the RSVPs trickled in and the party grew larger.  By the end of the week, one of the guys had even created an online game to race to see how many ribs you could “plow.” [...]

Photo Snippets

I still take pictures of my food, but I’ve moved away from posting 3 meals/day.  Most of my meals aren’t that exciting or photogenic. Now that I think about it… I take lots of photos each day, of anything and everything!  They don’t make it on the blog or on Facebook.  They basically just chill [...]
