Welcome to the 18th Friday Fave Five weekly post and blog hop where each Friday I highlight five of my favorite things from the past week and link up with Mom’s Got Mail.
1. Favorite in Entertainment:
The fiance (Sal) and I have been cruising through episodes of the HBO series Silicon Valley and loving it! Basically it is about a group of guys trying to make it big in California by creating a start-up, and all the hardships they face. It is a comedy that sort of reminds of Office Space meets a geeky version of Entourage.
2. Favorite in Food:
Sal’s grandpa is a sweetheart and though he is 93 and couldn’t come out to lunch in the Back Bay with Sal, me, and Sal’s mom, he offered to treat us! The three of us went to Atlantic Fish and chowed down on oysters rockefeller and calamari to start.
Then for lunch, I chose the goat cheese and beet salad and the appetizer portion of the lobster ravioli!
We really did not have room for dessert but the waiter said dessert was on him! Under one condition. That we could answer a trivia question. We chose the category music where he would sing a line of a song and we have to continue on with the lyrics. He then proceeded to sing “Once upon a time I was falling in love. Now I’m only falling apart” and I of course chimed in with “There’s nothing I can do. A total eclipse of the heart.” And he responded “you have the voice of an angel” which obviously made my day, lol! So key lime pie with blueberry sauce was our pick for our freebie dessert!
3. Favorite Drink:
We made it back to my old neighborhood (the North End) for one of the many festivals (or as we call them feasts) last weekend. Although it was a smaller one and not that exciting, we did hit up our favorite spot after, Caffe Paradiso, for sangria and limoncello!
4. Favorite purchase:
I took the plunge and ordered the PopSugar Must Have box for fall! I know, I am supposed to be cutting back on boxes and spending because I spent a bunch this summer moving and getting a car. But I couldn’t resist and I figure, I have a bunch of stuff for sale on ebay, so I can use that money.
5. Favorite sale:
You know how I recently blogged about Zulily’s big sales lately? I ended up ordering a few items (using my store credit from referrals) including:
Zad Black Druzy Necklace:
Maxi-Matic USA – Mini Chopper
Waverly – Sand Lovely Lattice Toilet Brush
It came out to around $38 total with shipping, but was free for me!

Fave in entertainment
Right now it’s got to be Ray Donovan. That Liev Schreiber is so smoking hot… ever watch? He bangs anything with two good looking legs. It’s a great show !!!!!

That story is way too cute. The voice of an angel indeed. Ever think of taking your
Bonnie Tyler angel voice for an American Idol or Community Auditions tryout? Just think, if you got past a few rounds how much your life would change.
A new house, new car and cash to buy the good things in life. And Sal could be your agent/manager and that would make up for his not taking over the family biz!!!!
Fave drink
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Margarita is my favorite friend! !!!
I went to the feast too… you see me? I was a little tipsy and on the look out for a spicy Italian guy… but I also saw Taylor Dayne perform… remember her? She was great and I can’t believe that the ghetto saint agripinna feast got a certified disco
legend
We have been on a margarita kick ! We tried a new-to-us mix to make at home https://powellandmahoney.com/mixers/margarita
I’ll have to check out your post about Zulily. I see a lot of great things on there, but have never bought anything.
The only thing to know is you cant return anything – so if something doesnt fit i just end up selling it on ebay ! But i have gotten some really nice things so I check it every day!
Go for it Lizzy Borden! !!!!!!!!!
Not surprising there’s a no return policy.
Great sales, mega markdowns and anyway, I don’t think any store allows you to return toilet bowl brushes.
You always eat the most delicious looking food! Silicon Valley is hilarious! I am married to a computer geek…and from California.
I have never heard of the Silicon Valley series but it certainly sounds entertaining. Your favorite foods sound delicious especially the dessert. Thank you for sharing your faves.
