October 4, 2010 Panzano

Located in Southborough, Panzano is an upscale specialty market that sells fine Italian goods. We went there to pick up some lunch at their prepared food counter and also some staples for later. We went on a Thursday around 11am and it was packed! (but maybe this was due to the fact that their Buywithme.com […]

September 29, 2010 Marshalls Fenway Farmstand

Ever since I found this place, I’m addicted. I first heard about this place when someone, and I’m sorry I can’t remember who, mentioned it on twitter. This place is right around the corner, how could I have missed it all these years? Located at 1345 Boylston Street near Fenway Park, in an old gas […]

September 21, 2010 Stonewall Kitchen

I think of Stonewall Kitchen as “quintessential Maine”. From the moment you drive up the driveway, you see wonderful gardens, Adirondack chairs, outside tables with umbrellas-it’s like an oasis. While they have other stores in Maine, Portland and Camden, this is their flagship store and it also houses their cooking school. (Locations are also in […]

September 1, 2010 H Mart

When you get off the exit from route 128 there is traffic everywhere. You have to wait in to get into the parking lot on this rainy Sunday afternoon and stalk people for their parking spots. We wonder how many times we will circle the parking lot before we give up and go home. H-Mart […]

April 21, 2010 South End Formaggio

While the prices are a bit high, so is everything in the South End. I am glad that I don’t live closer because not only would I be broke from spending all my money here, I would also be 800lbs. The shop is tiny but it is packed to the gills with all kinds of […]

April 21, 2010 Brookline Spa

You could go to Brookline Spa and have a different sandwich every day and not repeat the same kind for at least 2 months!!

April 21, 2010 Lakota Bakery

I had gone into South End Formaggio and seen these cookies. I bought the Vanilla Sandwich with chocolate cookies and the shortbread cookie. Yum! I had seen Lakota featured on Chronicle and made the trek out to Arlington to try them out. They only take cash or check, $15 a dozen or $1.35 each. Don’t […]

April 18, 2010 Kick*ss Cupcakes

I had had these cupcakes before-when they first opened in Somerville, and didn’t think they were very good. In my spirit of giving things another chance-I figured why not. Groupon had an offer that was $9 for half a dozen cupcakes in their new store. Well-if I’m going to try them again I mind as […]

April 12, 2010 Yummies

10,000lbs of candy on display-you’re thinking ‘yeah right’.
