Ah Illy, I love this coffee. When I see it , I get it, and I have no idea where I had this one, but isn't it pretty? Look at all that sugar! I swear it looks like more than it was.
Don't judge me on the price! I had a coupon! and it was worth it. For the lazy cinnamon toast maker, this allows you to just spread it on in one fell swoop, or spread as the case may be.
This tasty burger was from The Counter, in Times Square. For being in Times Square, it wasn't too expensive, and it is a totally design your own burger type of place. You pick, beef, chicken, veggie, turkey, then the toppings, cheese, bun.... This was Jimmy's creation. The fries can come with parmesan! So delicious!!!!
I realized butternut squash soup has got to be the easiest soup on the planet to make. Onions, stock, butternut squash, blend. Add nutmeg , salt, and pepper, I mean seriously? Let it sit a while to reach full flavor potential. Add some chives of scallions on top for color. What better fun way to eat it than in a Halloween mug!!!!
One of my favorite stores in the city to get unique food items. Cardullo's in Harvard Square. They also have awesome sandwiches, see my earlier post, and wine:)
Cool Vegetarian Diner in Cambridge near Porter Square. Veggie Galaxy! The food was amazing. If only I could figure out how to cook this way.
And this... is my Veggie Galaxy Burger. It was fabulous
Girl's weekend in Orlando took us to Universal Studio's Island's of Adventure and what better way to end the weekend than a hurricane at Pat O'Brien's. The first time I had them was in New Orleans. I remember drinking two and thinking I could drink more. Fast forward 15 years and 3 sips of this one got me nice and tipsy. That is probably a good thing!
What is cooler than homemade cider? Not much... This is my friend's husband's creation. It is very lovely. The funny thing is he doesn't drink it! 
These next two are my dinner at Wolfie's! A new eatery in our little town of Southie. The funny thing about this place is Lou has joked for about 5 years that Wolf Gang Puck's friends call him Wolfie. Someone must have heard him. This is no association with Wolf Gang. The Cobb Sald below was a good portion, chopped well, and tasty.
The French onion soup at Wolfie's not quite and good as the Cobb. The cheese looks very melty, but it was melted only on the top, and it was too much. The soup was OK. This place is on L Street where Kelly Landing was previously.
This fun loving group was in NYC to watch Lou run the marathon! Where is Lou you ask? He was resting up for that run while we were out galvanting in the city. This awesome setting was in Bryant Park and OUTSIDE. There was a great view of the ice rink for people watching and a mega heater above our heads. That gi-normous punch bowl in the middle of us was our beverage! $126 but we all had more than enough and it was much cheaper than buying individual drinks. Not to mention we were the first punch bowl of the season!!! Trendsetters:)
