At $2.90 per piece, they are pretty pricey, but they are pretty labor intensive to make. Fingers, or Asabi as they are also called, are made from thin phyllo like […]

October 21, 2013 Le Pain Quotidien

There are so many locations all over New York City. We stopped in at the Central Park location at 58th and 7th which was close to the hotel. The place was crowded with tourists – and all the waiters were in the weeds. I started by ordering a strawberry lemonade that was so tart it […]

October 16, 2013 Crumbs – Natick Collection

October 8, 2013 Sweet

We went away with some friends to Vermont and they were kind enough to send over a really “sweet” thank you. Sweet cupcakes delivered a dozen cupcakes to our house. Unfortunately, when we opened them up, this is what they looked like. It’s the thought that counts right? The cupcakes in the middle fell over […]

November 6, 2012 Two Fat Cats Bakery

On our way up to Freeport, we stopped in Portland to grab a bite to eat. To be honest, we were trying to get into Duckfat, but the wait was 45 minutes….so we headed over to the Two Fat Cats bakery instead. I just love the name! I have to say….there is just something nice […]
