Welcome to the 23rd Friday Fave Five weekly post and blog hop! Each Friday I highlight five of my favorite things from the past week, and link up with Mom’s Got Mail!
1. Favorite in food:
I went out with some of my girl friends last night and had sangria, appetizers, and got a chance to do lots of catching up! I loved the bbq chicken flatbread pizza with pickles at Granary Tavern in Boston again.
I also had a taste of my friends order of deviled eggs and it was pretty tasty. I didn’t get a pic of the dip and cheese plate we also got which had gouda, olive tapenade, hummus, and other goodies to eat with toasted baguette!
2. Favorite photos:
This morning we took a ride to Smolak Farms and before apple and raspberry picking took a peek at the animal cages. I was a tad bit too psyched about the peacocks of course.
3. Favorite thing to do:
As a continuation to the above animal pic, the apple and raspberry picking was so fun. The weather was 70 degrees and sunny. There was barely anyone out apple picking yet since it is early in the season and I felt like it was just us and the trees for miles!
4. Favorite drink:
Last weekend, Sal and I went to Exchange Bistro and I tried an amazing martini with passion-fruit juice and vodka. So yummy!
5. Favorite in shopping:
Check out my Tom’s that I got on sale on Zulily! I am so excited for them to arrive. Tom’s are the most comfortable shoes ever!
Ok let’s hear it! What are this weeks faves for you??
P.S. I found two more Friday link ups too 🙂
We are going apple picking this weekend. I can’t wait! Did you see that Toms and Target are going to do a collaboration?
SO fun – and the best part is – figuring out ways to eat all the yummy apples – have fun ! ooohhh no i didnt know about the collab! Curious to see what styles they come up with !!
Next time I head up to Boston I need to try that restaurant. The menu and food looks so fun and different. I need to take my boys apple picking here sometime maybe when my son tracks out of school.
Granary is one of my favorite restaurants ! and apple picking is my absolute favorite fall activity 🙂
OMG ! Flatbread with pickles … Who would have ever thought of that? Wow!!! OMG
Toms of Maine is great. Happy to see that this all stu real toothpaste, skin cream and deodorant has joined fores with a gant like Target. Good for them.
Jennifer, I’m nt sure if you one, but pole picking ends in early October. And if I recall correctly, track is a spring sport.
However, if your son runs cross country, well that’s in the fall, so you can come up and pick some apples with him. And because he runs track, he’ll be able to run fast to the trees with the most apples.
I was talking about Toms the shoes 🙂 https://www.toms.com/
And then for the products – honest co – https://www.honest.com
Wow, I was like Jordan and thought that you meant Tom’s of Maine toothpaste.
So the Tom’s shoe company is not related to the toothpaste company?
It would be great if the Tom’s toothpaste got collaborated with Target. From a marketing standpoint I think both Tom’s- shoes and toothpaste- should join forces and do something with Target.
A heads up, across the Greenway from the Granary is City Landing and they have a great Flatbread with roasted butternut squash, bacon and sage. It’s great with a glass of Rose.
Jenny do you live in Orlando? Or was that picture taken while you were on vacation?
Florida is too warm to grow apples. But maybe you could take your son orange or grapefruit picking. I think he’d like that and you could make really fresh juice!
I LUV apple cobblers and apple crisps.
Butter, apples, brown sugar — c’mon what’s there not to like!!!!
Orange picking in Florida sounds so cool. Jeny (with one J) you’ll have to tell us all about it.
And good luck to your son with his track schedule and competition at school. Is he a sprinter or a middle dustance runner?
My girlfriends and I need to get together because it’s been a while.
Yes – there is nothing like girl time for sharing stories and catching up on life 🙂
How did you come up with your website name?
Eat and sip in the city ? it was actually when sex and the city was my favorite show that i was inspired ! i wanted to originally just do eat and sip and write about food and drinks, recipes, restaurants, etc. but since i lived right in the city of boston i thought it would be catchy to add it together 🙂
sounds super, love to be able to go apple picking too. Sometimes I can find pick your own strawberries so far here in NM. If it keeps raining maybe there well be more the Hach Chilli’s around here. Happy weekend.
Happy weekend ! i love picking strawberries too 😉 we have a hanging strawberry plant in my fiance Sals parents yard to pick at all summer as well.
Eat and sip in the city of boston, I think, would give it a more place specific identity.
Or this is whst I’m gathering from all the recent posts, how about either of these :
Eat and sip close to Boston
Eat and sip in the ‘burbs of Boston
Eat and sip around the city of Boston
Ha yup my recent move outside of the “city” definitely changes things but I am really only 5 miles away ha
Your outdoor pictures look amazing!
Thanks meg !!
Agree, great pictures, especially the strawberries, apples and flowers
Thank you ! I have really begun to love taking photos because of blogging and because of how awesome my samsung camera phone is!
I agree…Samsung camera is better than the iPhone
Such clear pictures and i am obsessed with the instagram filters with it too.
We are going apple picking this weekend. Late raspberries make the best jam!
My iphone camera used to take good pics, but it doesn’t always want to focus anymore. I am glad you found a couple of other link ups! It might be weird to link up my linkup…? I don’t know the etiquette.
Eh I will stick with yours today lol
Jennifer, do you pick apples at same place where you pick raspberries?
I think it may also be time for a new phone. When the pictures from a phone start looking bad it’s usually a signal that the battery is dying. I know from experience.
Maybe you could sell ats of raspberry jam on your wb site to help alleviate the cost of a new phone. I’d buy a jar.
Wow, chat about blog etiquette. ..that’s so cool. I never even thought about it, but there must be etiquette among bloggers.
obviously, no plagiarism! !!!!
