I left town for new years, to my other big town that's pretty much my home 1/2 of the time i'm outta town. Oh Boston.
went up to slummerville to catch some z's on the click-clack, which has been my bed countless times since move-in day this past summer. I believe i was blatantly told i need to pay rent. I informed my new "landlord" i can only pay in trader joe's peppermint-o cookies and peachtree schnapps, and that the cookies are only seasonal. That got me charged $5 extra for a shower. Gotta love friends.
it was a busy couple days of hanging out, eating way too much amazing home-prepared wintry dishes, learning there is a schnapps flavor to match any dish at any meal, and that if you decide to go to out to breakfast in a city on a big touristy holiday weekend, you should probably first call to see if they are open, and then next ask how long the wait might be, and maybe throw in a time check to make sure they will still be open when you get there. just a thought.
it took us 5 hours round trip to eat breakfast, walking the majority of the time. although it may sound annoying, it was really a pretty amazing time. we ended up eating breakfast in cambridge i had this super awesomely bloody smokehouse burger, we all shared fried dill pickles and watched the Boston Bruins play Philly in an outdoors ice rink at Fenway Park!! I want my own ice skates this minute.
I bought a used sandwich book at some cool kid harvard bookstore - snobby cookbooks usually have a lot of fancy pictures, this one has like 6, but makes up for all the recipes with arugula - mmm arugula. i just realized there are 2 autographs from the author inside the book on separate pieces of paper, too bad Mark Twain didn't write this cookbook, i would've fainted! i treated the d-lite-full hosts to some tasty desserts at Block 11 cafe, which was our very last attempt at finding baked goods on new years day.
i'm forgetting a bunch of other things worth sharing. ....
highlights:
1. mark's chili, although still riding the fart train 2 days later - MUY YUM!
2. hockey outdoors is pretty sweet; especially after a dude is sent to the penalty box for fighting and then gave the camera double horns. bad ass!
3. Drink your schnapps at every meal
4. 5-mile city walks
5. no drama
