Scenes from my Saturday: Fisherman’s Feast festival in Boston’s North End
4th of July
I hope everyone had a good day yesterday! I headed to a house party about 20 minutes north of Boston for a BBQ with the bf and his friends. It was a long, hot (90 degrees!) mosquito filled day but we had a blast. I decided to contribute a cocktail to the party and before […]

My favorite food photos of the day for 2011
Happy New Year! In fall 2011, I started to pay more attention to the way food, whether it is around Boston or at home, looks. I took many food photos and chose a “food photo of the day” to post on Twitter, to capture where I am, what I am doing, and of course what […]
