If you ever sat with Fiona...

Big Thanks to My old roomie Bob for sending it to me. I laughed aloud on numerous occasions.

Oxtail on fire

That is the name of this dish! You gotta love oscon and you gotta love portland! And if you are ever here I recommend a trip to pambiche for dinner.

Travel Safely

Jim is on his way to Portland, Oregon for OSCON, an Open Source Convention (he's staying an extra day for a beer festival) so I'll be home alone for a week. I'm torn between sadness about maybe becoming a little lonely and glee about being to be able to so whatever I want for a whole week.
Edited at 6:50PM to add:
So far today, I've eaten a quart of Richie's Italian slush (half lemon, half blue vanilla), gone to the mall, taken a nap and had a nice long bath. I think this week isn't going to be so bad after all.

It IS Massachusetts, after all

Jim is quite taken with this lobster. In fact, he appears to be asking for its pincer in marriage. We just ate at Yankee Lobster near the Harpoon brewery (of course). Mayor Menino stopped in while we were eating. That was an unexpectedly cool Boston moment with Eddie G in tow; we then dropped him off at the Fairy Ferry for his trip to P-town.

Here we are. I wish I had something clever to say.

It's about time

Look! The Harpoon truck is here with my weekly delivery. Thank the gods.

Hub pub (again)
