my weekend in food.
I don’t think I realized it at the time, but basically, I ate a lot this weekend. Looking back, I realize I had a completely fabulous weekend in food.
Here’s what was incredible about it:
● Hanging out at the Copley rooftop pool with Sas all day on Friday where we sunbathed and drank sangria and mojitos. And ate grilled cheese. What a life.
● Having a romantic dinner w/ Chels at Burton’s Grill on Boylston Friday night. We previously had a romantic date at the Burton’s in North Andover and just discovered one in the Fenway area. It’s well-hidden and not-so-well-advertised. But, you should totally go. Obviously it’s no Morton’s or Capital Grille, but they have great hamburgers and steaks, amazing appetizers (try the grilled stuffed zucchini), a huge wine list and yummy specialty drinks, and not-so-bad prices.
● Hanging out with the Adams clan and finally going to Tapeo on Newbury, where we sampled many exotic foods. Chels was an all-star and ordered frog legs and quail. Frog legs were surprisingly delicious…tasted like really tender chicken. And the quail was seriously to die for. I also had mussels that were amazing. Dessert was sherry battered strawberries and if heaven tastes like something, I’m pretty sure this is it. Uhh, going back to Tapeo immediately to eat more.
● Saturday night consisted mainly of drinks. Wine and then later Sky 90 and soda at Clark’s. A good time was had by all.
● Sleeping away much of the day on Sunday and then going to the Paris Creperie for the first time in a longg time. I think I used to go every weekend when I first moved to Brookline and now I remember why. They have the besttt breakfast crepes ever, even when it is no longer breakfast time. Delicious coffee too. And amazing smoothies. Wait, I love everything there. Some day I want to just hang out there all day and get a breakfast crepe, a lunch crepe, a dinner crepe, and a dessert crepe. Don’t laugh.
● Going to my parents (attempt #2 at dr. appt…success!) for dinner on Sunday and having a marvelous flank steak, and grilled sweet potato, asparagus, and squash. Thank you, Dad.
● Not eating breakfast and then getting multiple shots at the Dr. including getting my blood taken and then driving home successfully without passing out. Walking in the door and having Dad make me delicious soup for lunch.
● Having my fabulous roomie make me dinner. A buffalo burger, which surprisingly tastes exactly like a hamburger…but healthier. A nice end to a wonderful weekend.
Wow, I was a huge pig this weekend. But a happy one. If I had weekends like this past one every weekend, I’d be one happy girl. Probably a lot fatter too. Lunch tomorrow at the Copley farmer’s market!
