Dîner en Blanc Boston 2017
Today is the last day of summer, so it seems like perfect timing to write about a big event that capped off the summer season — Dîner en Blanc , which is French for dinner in white. I wrote about this event back in 2015, but had never attended it. If you’re not familiar with […]
{You Pick Six} An Interview with Radio Host: Tom Ashbrook
For those of you who regularly listen to the radio and podcasts, you’ve probably heard On Point with Tom Ashbrook at least a few times. If not, you’re missing out! Please tune in! In my opinion, On Point has widest range of topics of any show I’ve encountered. Ever. With in-depth analysis and callers from […]
ACLU Freedom Agenda in Quincy
Since the election, I’ve been trying to find ways to resist and fight this current administration. Some of it has been by blogging about it here. Amplifying other voices on Twitter. Contacting my elected representatives. Donating to causes that I believe in. I have not been to any protests though — even though there have […]

Boston Total Solar Eclipse History From 1932
Are you excited about the total solar eclipse today? I am! Unfortunately I don’t have glasses, but I’m hoping to enjoy the event anyway. Also, today I learned that my family has eclipse history. Who knew? My aunt found a clipping from her aunt’s scrapbook with a portion of a poem called “The Total Eclipse […]

Hey Boston! Time To Shop Farmers Markets!
Hope you’re enjoying the start to the Memorial Day weekend! Since this is the unofficial start to summer, it’s time to start thinking about summery things. For those of us in New England, we don’t have year-round outdoor markets like those of you in different parts of the country. For us, it’s a real treat […]
I See You Boston
My current project has me working at the Pru in Boston. The view is always different and amazes me everyday. In the winter, the snow covered buildings look so different from the plain red brick. The snow adds a powdered sugar look to the rooftops. But as the seasons go by, what is normal changes. […]

Lunch at VERTS Mediterranean Grill in Copley Square
This was my lunch today! I had a chicken quinoa bowl from VERTS Mediterranean Grill. It was quite good and I have some leftovers for lunch tomorrow too. I took my food to go and brought it back to my office, but took the picture while I was still in the restaurant. While I didn’t […]
Gimme Lean Veggie Sausage vs MorningStar Farms Sausage Patties
My go to product for veggie sausage, veggie burgers and other veggie based foods is usually MorningStar Farms. I’ve tried so many different veggie products and always come back to them. But I like mixing things up a bit sometimes and trying new products. I noticed Gimme Lean Veggie Sausage on sale this past […]
Blueberries Make The Cake
It’s July, so if you’re on Instagram, you may be noticing that everyone’s feed is filled with blueberries. Whether you picked them yourself, found them at a farmers market, or bought them at the grocery store, ’tis the season. My favorite cakes during the summer are simple single layer cakes. They aren’t too sweet. They […]
Hey Boston! Celebrate National Ice Cream Day with Free Vice Cream!

Today, between noon and 4pm, the Vice Cream Truck will be patrolling Boston streets and walking around […]
