Fall in Boston

is like butter on warm bread. There's just nothing quite that wonderful.

Last night, I went to dinner with a friend who I have not seen in 9 years although we have kept in touch via different instant messaging programs and phone calls. This comes to shows that it really does take real effort to stay in touch and connected. We could have done a better job throughout the years but I am glad that our "efforts" made it seem as though it was just yesterday that we were sitting in accountant class, together. I'm also very glad to share that she's more beautiful than I remember.



I look a little funny here but my friend is the one sitting right across from me. The girl behind her is her twin sister. The other girl next to me is their friend from college.



Sorellina was every bit delicious as everyone says it is. I started with the appetizer portion of the braised rabbit fettuccine and I just love that light texture of freshly made pasta. The duck was cooked just right and the panna cotta was perfectly creamy and rich. And it just so happens that we were dining with the prime minister of Turkey! The decor was also delectable... I can't wait to go back. Any takers?

Also, I am now growing a small basil plant that is still well and alive since I have been officially unable to revive my love bonsai (testing your pop culture knowledge).



My brother's garden has been producing some seriously large zucchinis that I have been eating for the past month and half.




And for a random picnic one weekend - I was treated to some seriously delicious pates, mousse, and coppa from The Butcher Shop. I would also like to get more stuff from this place. Their french baguette was also just right - I couldn't stop eating!

The Coppa



I believe this is the Game Bird en Croûte (a very buttery crust). I like game. A lot.



Duck Liver Mousse... and I also love liver.




Oh, and just so you know - there are bird's eye chili growing in Harvard Sq. See for yourself,



With that said, I returned to Sweet to get frosting shots b/c it's just NOT enough that I already consume an unconscionable amount of carbs and organs - I also need the butter and sugar to really clog up those arteries.



I then spent an afternoon chasing this 2 year old girl around town but with the diet above, it was just not a good combination. I just want to put that out there.




My grooveshark tells me I'm obsessed with Uncle Kracker Smile and Zac Brown n Band Whatever It Is. Take a listen for yourself. :)
