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.

I have to admit that I love these little 2 bite cookies the most when they are fresh out of the oven. No such luck this time, but bring them home and pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and they taste fresh baked. Here are the types of cookies: Traditional Chocolate Chip […]

April 10, 2010 Lyndells

Lyndell’s took over the spot where LuLu’s Bakery used to be. Located at the end of Hanover street, the bakery is small but adorable.

March 15, 2010 Canto 6

JP is under rated. There are so many great little shops and neighborhood restaurants that most Bostonians don’t even know about. Canto 6 is one of JP’s best kept secrets. (Although, they were voted Best of Boston 2007) Canto 6. Ring a bell? From Dante’s Divine Comedy, the 6th canto of the Inferno is where […]

March 4, 2010 One Girl Cookies (NY)

I was listening to the radio a little while and heard this interview Ryan Seacrest was giving with Dax Shepard. Dax said that men and women differ in how they size up the opposite sex. When a woman looks at a man and he is physically a 6, but his personality is a 10, she […]
