Hello, Summer I did a bunch of cooking this weekend, but nothing that was really blog-worthy (more recipes soon, I promise!). What WAS totally blog-worthy were my favorite cold rice noodles from Yun Nan Flavor Garden! We went out for noodles after doing a long run on Sunday, and it was hugely satisfying to scarf … Continue reading Hello, Summer
Tasting Montreal We took a weekend trip to Montreal this past weekend to celebrate Andrew’s birthday a week early. He had been there before, but I had only visited for a few hours over 10 years ago, so it was all very new to me. I absolutely loved it! It felt just like being in … Continue reading Tasting Montreal
This first weekend of autumn we drove up to Boston to visit Andrew’s family, spying just a few changing leaves on our way. Our relaxing trip was full of biking, walking, and food from a roundup of the usual suspect places as well as a few new ones. It seems like it’s hard to visit … Continue reading Autumn in Boston
We took the bus up to Boston for the weekend to visit Andrew’s sister, see our former professor Ran Blake and his cat DekTor Dutra, and have some favorite foods from our New England Conservatory days. It was a wonderful and full weekend! After a longer-than-expected bus ride from New York we were ready for … Continue reading Boston Weekend
Eating and Drinking in Porto (Part II) Where I left off last week, I think we were eating pastries and drying out from being drenched during a thunderstorm. Andrew and I weren’t ready to let a bit of rain stop us from exploring more of Porto, so after warming up, we walked over to Livraria … Continue reading Eating and Drinking in Porto (Part II)
Eating and Drinking in Porto (Part I) WOW. I had a feeling I would love Porto, and I was RIGHT! What a beautiful city, and the food was REALLY tasty. And of course the port. That was tasty too. We arrived at our Air BnB, which looked like this: !!!!! And soon went out to … Continue reading Eating and Drinking in Porto (Part I)
Lisbon Eats We’re in Portugal for the week to celebrate my birthday! The week started in Lisbon, and since Andrew and I had visited once before, I wanted this visit to be more about relaxing and eating than seeing the sights. We arrived at the Lisbon airport at 6am (what can I say, the cheapest … Continue reading Lisbon Eats
Milos (All the Feel-os) Like any Greek island version of a wild, post-apocalyptic Martha’s Vineyard with beaches from space would, Milos completely captured my heart. Also the food was amazing. The traditional Milos fried cheese pie, pitarakia, though delicious, was not all that photogenic and its photo didn’t make the blog post cut, but many … Continue reading Milos (All the Feel-os)
Sampling Santorini In last week’s post, we were just leaving Crete via the Heraklion port, on our way to Santorini! Even if you’ve never been there, you’ve definitely seen the pictures—the iconic white cube houses clustered all up and down the cliffs. It really does look like that, and it’s even more beautiful in person! … Continue reading Sampling Santorini
