Tree House

I’m obsessed with tree houses. I really wanted one when I was younger and uh I still really do.

Strawberry Basil Bourbon Spritzer

1 shot of Bourbon

1/2-1 cup of strawberries, sliced/halved/chopped/whatever you desire

6-8 basil leaves, torn & a few extra to make the cup/jar look sexy

sparkling water

muddle the strawberries and the basil in a glass then add that whiskey,  stir it up & add some ice(bourbon’s best friend). top off with sparkling water and go on & enjoy!

Borough Hopping

First we went to the Brooklyn Flea (sidenote: i really love their sight design, the font & those cute flea markety drawings are great)

Porchetta had a little stand, but they ran out, made for a great picture though!



We found this stand and got grilled mahi mahi tacos. mmm

check out that great hot sauce line up too! valentina and tapatio…not too shabby



I thought this stand looked pretty darn cute too



I spotted this on our walk over, so sweet



Aubrey spotted Oasis so we had to stop in for a snack. such crispy falafel, but what we really came for were all the salads and the israeli pickles for me.



and we saw a fella painting this back in the village



Later we cooked a simple dinner for my cousin in Queens. no pictures though….

Revere Beach

On the way out of boston we stopped at Kelly’s on revere beach,

Just a tid bit of information…kelly’s pretends they are famous for their roast beef (i’ve never tried it there and don’t really have any interest in doing so) but in my eyes they are famous for the lobster roll

It is easily the best lobster roll you will ever eat. It’s packed with the meat from 2, yes 2 one pound lobsters, mixed with the smallest bit of mayo and cellery and put on a griddled buttered bun.

The kelly’s on Revere beach is the best way to go, first off its right on the water, secondly the other locations aren’t aesthetically what i go for

Aubrey and I shared a lobster roll and fried clams.




if you haven’t had fried clams than you better get on that asap, and you should probably get on that in cape cod and if you don’t like seafood then its high time you change you’re palate…but thats just my personal opinion

It was windy but we played on the beach for a bit and found one hell of a variety of shells

saturday night ravioli

check it outttt! quail eggs. my friend was planning on making ravioli this weekend and i made sure he picked up some quail eggs to put in the filling…i’m talkin little quail yolk right on top of some cheezy filling so when you cut it open there’s runny yolk there too…sort of like an extra sauce inside the ravioli.




well he had already made the dough and a couple ravioli fillings (one with ricotta/parm/parsley/sherry and the other with ricotta/parm/sausage/broccoli rabe) & we stopped by mostly to help with the assembly. separating those little eggies AND keeping the yolk from breaking was quite the challenge, there was some success and one supreme cooking video came out of it

i’ve spent most of the last 24 hours looking at this view doing sorts of crafty junk

You’re alive, act like it.
