(ha…joking!) Hey guys!! Thank you so much (from me AND momz!) for your super-sweet b-day wishes to my mom! I think it was the next best thing to having me there for her birthday
School was kinda craze this week…but I don’t have class today- and Monday is a holiday, hallelujah! I always use weekends like this to just catch up on life, or clean…and maybe go out one night
Same.breakfast.always.
I posted how much I love this Teddie Peanut Butter!!
I think a lot of it has to do with this sultry little bear- haha look at his seductive pose!
I got muenster cheese at TJ’s!! I heart cheese!
Except that it gets weird and stretchy after it melts and cools?? Must be science…
I went out with friends for dinner, but was seriously starving and couldn’t wait! I made a snackster plate of TJ’s multi-grain crackers, carrots and hummus. We had dinner reservations at 8, and didn’t get seated until 9- ah too late for me!! I got a boring chicken salad, but someone at our table ordered Tiramisu, which
a.) I didn’t know I liked.
b.) Turns out I like a lot
The gym I go to is near Copley, so I pass this gorgeous Farmer’s market on many days!
It’s filled with flowers and foodie treats…
And gourds!
Ahh I love it here so much!!! Aside from sporadic bouts or days of rain, the weather has been absolutely gorgeous, crisp and fall-like. I’ve been able to meet up and hang out with a ton of friends from that live here, and I feel like I have such a good support network if I ever need anything. AlthoughI may already have a flight home in November
Heyyo flights are supa cheap right now!!
Question for my Bostonians!!!: I’m going out to dinner with a friend on Saturday and I need some good restaurant suggestions! I think we are meeting in the Back Bay, and I’m looking for a delicious, healthy-ish, fun-ish restaurant to take her! She’s not super into sushi, or anything crazy…but I just want someplace with a good selection that is good for two newbies in Boston!!
There are so many amazing places her, I know you guys can help me out
Thanks bloggies, see ya later!

ANY of the restaurants on Newbury street are fair-game, girl!
October 9, 2009 at 4:22 am
That Teddie, he sure knows of to seduce. His pose is reminiscent of Rose’s nude scene from Titanic, no? Ha!
TIRAMISU…Um, yeah, the best dessert. Everrr.
Have fun with your friend @ Dinner!
October 9, 2009 at 4:30 am
How are you doing? So fun that you got to enjoy some times with the mama
. I can’t wait for dinners that late either! I always end up having a small meal before and then just getting something small at the restaurant! BEAUTIFUL farmers market. Loving all the squash. Hope you have a fun weekend
October 9, 2009 at 5:10 am
BOOBOO!!!! HIIIIII
OMFG. I miss you so badly. Like PLZ. It hurts my heart
Have the bestie time in BOSTON! I wuhuuuvvvv youuuuu!
October 9, 2009 at 5:20 am
i second the newbury street suggestion by veggie girl!!!!
in or around back bay… there are places like Sonsie- http://www.sonsieboston.com (my ex used to work there.. YUM!), Masa (tex mex place with the BEST Margaritas!!), Franklin Street Cafe (they have fun quirky things here and the atmosphere is very.. “chic”),
hmmm… i cant think of anything else off the top of my head really, but i like this link:
http://boston.diningguide.com/dl1bb.htm
lists some places here.. ; )
email me if you need any help!!!!
October 9, 2009 at 5:42 am
That teddy bear is ridiculous – total MySpace shot. Like seriously. He’s asking for it…hubba, hubba.
I HAVE to make you my tiramisu now!! Isn’t that dessert out of this world?! Glad you like it!
I’m no help with the restaurants but I can’t wait to see where you and your friend go
October 9, 2009 at 6:02 am
De-lurking just to tell you how much I adore hearing about all of your Boston adventures! I graduated from BU in January, so it’s fun to hear and see lots of familiar things!
Like VeggieGirl, I recommend anything on Newbury Street! Sonsie is a lot of fun! It’s a young crowd and the restaurant opens out on the street, so if it’s a nice night, it’s a really fun way to dine!
October 9, 2009 at 6:29 am
YaY! CBs I’m so glad you are loving where you are right now. That matters so much and helps the soul.
Happy Belated B-day Momz!!
October 9, 2009 at 6:42 am
That farmers market looks awesome!
I went to Piattini last weekend and the food was good and in decent portions so you can still enjoy the pasta without the huge plates you get at most places.
October 9, 2009 at 6:45 am
Thanks for stopping by my bloggie my dear! Can’t help you with the restaurant suggestions but hope you have a ball!!!!!!!!
October 9, 2009 at 7:01 am
omg i love tiramisu too! and teddie’s is so seductive. he gets me to pick him of Mr. Barney every day.
xoxo
Lo
October 9, 2009 at 7:03 am
There are tons of good restaurants on Newbury, but some of them are pretty expensive! Charley’s isn’t too bad, and Cafe Jaffa (middle eastern food) and Trident Cafe & Bookstore are both really great! I love Trident the best – it’s very coffee-shop-ish but they have great salads and their Momos are delicious.
October 9, 2009 at 7:37 am
I have never have tiramisu.. but it always looks so yummy!!
that teddies pb looks dynamo as well
love ya!
October 9, 2009 at 8:15 am
I want to dateeeeeee Teddie’s… his shizz is money.
shipping out your package today
wo0oo0o!
October 9, 2009 at 8:27 am
I got a low fat cheddar from TJs a few weeks and it melted really weird, too. I really disliked the texture!
October 9, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Have a great time in Boston! I love that city
October 9, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I would buy the peanut butter just for that bear. Sweet. Love seeing pics, I bet the city is gorgeous.
October 9, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I want to try the Teddie Peanut Butter and stare at the sultry little bear. I’ve never seen that PB around. Must be a Yankee thing.
So glad you’re loving the cooler weather Caroline. I hear Boston has an amazing Fall.
Love Tiramisu. That coffee flavor with those little lady finger things. YUM! Definitely ranks right up there with fro-yo and sprinkles.
Hope you have a good weekend!
October 9, 2009 at 2:17 pm
ahh I am a BOSOTONIAN!!! I would recommend in the backbay Match or Sonsie or Stephanie, all super trendy I would make reservations in advance all great and you can find healthy food at all 3 of those! Feel free to email me with any Boston ques!! I am born and raised!
October 9, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I spy squash!
Hm… I would say find somewhere that serves good chowder. Always a must for me in Boston
October 9, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Haha, I’ve only seen that Teddie PB on blogs, but I have to say I thought the same thing–seductive little booger!
October 10, 2009 at 12:01 am
Don’t you just LOVE farmers markets? I do!
And have fun with the restaurant dinner tonight (can’t help you, living in Europe;) )

Dayumm, teddy has got it going on!
I haven’t been to the Farmer’s Market in months! I miss it.
I hope you find a great restaurant to eat at, being in Illinois, I’m not much help!
October 10, 2009 at 7:19 am
mmm, tiramisu is seriously amazing! wish i could help you find a place to eat, but i’m from DC – hope you find the perfect place though!
October 10, 2009 at 8:48 am
I can’t ever find Teddie PB in California. Bummer.
And tiramisu is heaven. I want some right now!
October 10, 2009 at 10:48 am
that farmer’s market looks gorgeous! a little slice of CA in boston
ahaha that teddy bear is too funny. sexy pb for kids?!?
October 10, 2009 at 4:53 pm
whoops…totally meant to post about the cookies haha. They are good. They do have a little after taste. Josh also got a sick belly last night..but we’re not sure if it was from the stevia. I tried it in my coffee today (via the packets) and REALLY liked it.
October 10, 2009 at 5:24 pm
Love Copley Farmer’s Market! Do you go to Healthworks? Thats my gym. I am planning a little Boston bloggie get together for brunch soon. If you want to meet up email me at traveleatlove2009@hotmail.com
October 10, 2009 at 6:54 pm
HAPPY belated bday to your Mom!! I still have to mail your package – it was a crazy work week – I promise you’ll get it this week!
October 11, 2009 at 3:37 am
Sonsie and Stephanies are both on Newbury street, you can’t go wrong with those!
October 11, 2009 at 1:13 pm

October 11, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I was tocuhed by all the sweet birthday wishes. Thank you very much for the love from all. Just a few more weeks till I get to see you in Boston-land-of-adventure-and-happiness with a red bowl of breakfast mix. I hope the grocery stores keep that Mr. Teddy on the high shelf.
October 11, 2009 at 3:52 pm
So jealous of your long weekend! Hope you’ve enjoyed it
And Tiramisu, along with Creme brulee, are two of my “must try” desserts when I see them on menus! Glad you liked it.
October 14, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Hahahaha oh Teddy! What a little tramp, right? Love it
Love momz’ comment. OMG she is so cute.
