three of us's Profile
[Concord] Colonial Inn
It's been a few years, but this is the only place aside from Mom's where the boiled potatoes tasted heavily of salt.
Where can I find Boston's best and freshest fried haddock plate?
My husband recently had a terrific fried haddock plate at Bob Lobster, which is on the road to Plum Island. My lobster roll was also very good, and well-priced at $10.49 as a daily special.
Feeding a new diabetic?
Grains like quinoa, buckwheat, millet and amaranth are lower on the glycemic index than many other grains.
A serving size of hummus is 2 tablespoons. That is a pleasing amount to eat with veggies, rather than hummus being the main and veggies a side.
A nutritionist will recommend a total carbs/meal. That is helpful in meal planning.
Lunch after butterfly place, westford
The Boston Board might have more answers for you. Are you looking for family-friendly, ethnic, anything-that's-good?
Where are you coming from?
Nashua is not even 10 min. up Rt 3. Plenty of chains if that is your thing. Lowell is also 10 min or so away. Vietnamese, Indian, Cambodian. Doing a search on these towns on the Boston Board is a good source of info.
Off 495, there is Gibbett Hill in Groton, Moonstones in Chelmsford, and Nashoba winery in Bolton.
Neilio's Lexington is a Gem
I am surprised at the raves for this place. I used to eat there once a week when I had a contract job nearby. I never had anything that was an OMG experience. Simply ok.
Help for "Dummies" at H Mart Food Stalls.....
My teenage son and I had lunch at this food stall, today. Very lovely counter staff. The seafood pancake was terrific! Nice and hot, fluffy, with plenty of seafood. #15, marinated short ribs, was dominated by sweetness and not much other flavors, plus too much of the meat was gristle and unedible. #10 was a generous serving of noodlesl but the broth was bland. Next time, I'll get something zingier. Although I didn't pay extra for seafood, that's what was in the soup. We got there right before 11:30 and had no problem getting a seat. By noon, the food court was slammed.
Thanksgiving Dinner in Belmont/Boston Area-recommendations needed!
Dalya's in Bedford is serving Thanksgiving. It's been a nice place for us to go, but we've never tried a Holiday dinner. I really don't like Great Wall in Bedford. They don't even do American Chinese that well and we've gotten take-out that smelled "off" so we just pitched it in the trash.
The 8 year old may just need to have an alcohol free cocktail, bring some amusements, and take the experience for what it is- Thanksgiving dinner at at restaurant.

Markets in/near Lexington? Meat, fish, bread, produce, wine...
So, you're standing in front of Quebrada's in East Arlington and look at Mass Ave. Cross the street and turn to your right. Keep walking a block or two and there will be a coffee bean shop called Barismo or something like that. If your are serious about your coffee beans, this is a good place to check out.

ISO Thanksgiving To Go?
I agree re. WF thanksgiving to-go. We thought the heirloom turkey was horrible, and the sides bland and smallish. Our food-loving neighbors swear by Roche Bros. so we are going to try them next.
Chowhound "Yum" Steer
Our current best loved yum steer is Little Q in East Arlington. There is something relaxing about cooking some food, eating, talking, cooking some more food, eating, talking . . .
H Mart [Not] Closed!
MB near me was not selling perishables. Canned goods, dry goods, etc. but nothing from the refridgerated bins/shelves, no deli, etc. They were on low-power from generators. HMart may not have been thus prepared.
A rave for the ... Cheesecake Factory [moved from Boston]
New Jang Su Korean BBQ is on Cambridge Street or 3A or whatever it is called. Kids I've taken there have liked it.
Just a thought.
where to buy organic chicken livers in Boston area?
Maybe West Concord is too far for you, but Deborah's Natural Gourmet has carried frozen, organic chicken livers. When I need my fix, I get my chix livers there.
mail order food gift idea
Okay, thanks for clarifying re. the muffins. Re. beards, I could care less if the beard is to their toes -- if they are making food or standing over unwrapped food, the beards should be netted.
Gift ideas for European Friends
We take blueberry preserves and syrup as well as maple syrup as gifts when we travel on business. If there are children you are shopping for, we found Lego products to be cheaper in the USA than some countries.
mail order food gift idea
That's what I thought at first, too. I don't think the muffins are wrapped as they are still in the pan. Also, scrolling down there is another brother looking over baked goods still in a pan.
If I'm buying retail at a bakery and the counter person had a beard that long/full, I'd wouldn't shop there. I feel the same way when there are open trays of food and a woman's hair is not tied back who is seving/bagging the goods.
mail order food gift idea
Went to check out the website, thinking to send some cookies. Gotta say, when I saw the long-bearded guy standing over unwrapped baked goods, it was a deal-breaker. Sorry. They should be wearing hair nets on the beards.
Stevia? Love it or hate it?
I agree with you. For anyone who has to watch the glycemic index of foods, stevia is a great sweetener. A little goes a long way,though, at least for me. I drink Virgil's Zero Root Beer (stevia sweetened) and it's sweeter than I prefer. The Zevia brand of sodas at my local Whole Foods is unpalatable to me -- it's waaaay too sweet.
Why do you stop going to restaurants? Let's start with UMAMI Burger... [Moved from Los Angeles board]
The better my cookings skills have become, the less patience I have eating out where I am served mediocre food. It's not worth the time and money to eat blah food.
Le Lyonnais in Acton - discuss.
Archived posts from 2008 and even 2006 describe it as nothing special. That's what I've always heard and have had too many mediocre suburban restaurant meals to take a chance on it.
ISO: Local - Best Canned Tomatoes for Italian Sauce
I would guess one Market Basket is the same as any other MB. No need to come to Billerica.
ISO: Local - Best Canned Tomatoes for Italian Sauce
A box of 7 cans of Pastene tomatoes (1 lb 12 oz) was $7.99 at Market Basket in B'rica.
Roy Moore's, Rockport
Great place to take kids and show them how to eat lobster. Love everything but the chowder. Too milky and thick with almost no clams the one time I had it a couple years ago. They used to sell t-shirts with Roy Moore's Lobster Co. on the back. Love wearing mine when I travel. Many New Englanders stop me to chat.
Pizza party in Lincoln
I was going to suggest Walden Italian Kitchen in W. Concord, too. It's good pizza and keeps the money in the community.

Do you sing while cooking?
Ha! Love that last one. I'll have to try Mother's Little Helper when DH is around.
Do you sing while cooking?
For some reason, I sing bits of opera when I cook, whatever I'm cooking. Maybe I like the drama and passion . . .
Do you sing while you cook? If so, what do you like to sing?
Old Orchard Beach Area - Picnic Table Lobster Shacks?
If you go to the Twin Lights on Cape Elizabeth, expect lines unless you get there when it opens. The setting is fantastic and worth the trip.
