Extra! Extra! Read all about it! The prestigious 2012 James Beard Foundation Awards was today Monday, May 7th, 2012 in New York City. It is basically the who’s who for the culinary community, and Massachusetts made many appearances on the list of nominees. But even though there were plenty of semi finalists from Mass., only two Boston […]
Scenes from my Saturday: Greenway Mobile Food Fest
Happy Cinco de Mayo and Kentucky Derby Day! I decided I deserved a break from packing, organizing, and cleaning (for the move) to check out one of the many things going on in town, from my May Events in Boston blog post. Since it is walking distance from my apartment and the Greenway Mobile Food […]
Worthwhile reads from the web this week
I don’t feel like chatting it up about how my week has been going like I usually do. Maybe it is because it is cold outside and rainy. Or could it be that I heard some not so good news about my momma’s health this week. And my throat is a bit sore too. Probably […]
Skinnylicious Menu at the Cheesecake Factory
Usually when I think of the Cheesecake Factory, I day dream about calorie laden appetizers like fried macaroni and cheese bites, creative burgers that equal a day’s worth of calories, humongous pasta portions, mountains of salad, and cheesy pizzas, followed by what else? Cheesecake, available in every flavor imaginable. But when I went last night […]
Sunday Bloody Sunday at Scollay Square
I know it is Friday but I have Sunday on my mind. I took a trip to Scollay Square a couple of Sunday’s ago to check out their beloved Bloody Mary bar, to do research for an upcoming CBS article. Hey, it’s a tough job but somebody has got to do it! It’s located on […]
Sunny Sunday
I had a looonnng week this week, between working, writing, working out, going out, and coordinating the showings at my apartment between the realtor and randoms from Craigslist ads (which I kept reposting day and night for the entire week). It couldn’t have come at a better time to have a 3-day weekend for Patriot’s Day and Marathon […]

Just Ask Me – Question of the Day: Where should I go for happy hour dining deals in Boston?
An old friend from my concierge days wanted the deets on eating out on a budget after work. In Boston, bars cannot advertise drink specials for happy hour, which sucks, but fortunately I found 5 bars serving dining deals, all for under 6 bucks! The drinks are still flowing at regular prices but you can […]
It’s a small world after all
I just wanted to share a little update on the case of the missing coat from last night, which I ended up blogging about this morning. Or should I say ranting about. Tears were shed to my boyfriend about this coat. Emails and texts were passed along to friends and family about this coat. And […]
Just Ask Me – Question of the Day: Where should I go for birthday cakes and treats in Boston?
Besides writing up a storm in my free time, I also have a day job as Office Manager at a recruiting company. One of my many responsibilities is to keep track of all the office b-days and make sure a card and a sweet treat is provided for each person to enjoy amongst our colleagues, […]
