We had southern fried chicken wings and sweet potato fries for dinner last night. It was awesome.

The Fours near the Garden? Their steak sandwich is actually ok. Seriously.

I'm mostly here for the laughs. And the food! And the misspellings. I can't believe I suggested you put a cab on top of the cucumbers. That's a can folks.

...I'll be here all night.

Recently:

grilled steak with wilted cucumber salad (the boy's favorite of all cucumber salads. Wilt your cucumbers (slice super thinly then add kosher salt. Set in a strainger, put a plate on top, and a heavy cab in on top of that), add sour cream, lemon juice, s&p, and dill.

shrimp sauteed with zucchini, squash, and fiddleheads

beef salami and string cheese

Two outa three ain't bad?

They've posted a menu: http://centrestreetsanctuary.com/wp-c...

I went on a fun bar hop around downtown crossing recently (Kingston Station, Shoju, and Sip). We tried some terrible maki-imposter rolls and a dessert at Sip. Whatever you do, don't order the desserts. I think they must get them shipped on ice as they're these awful little preformed things.

To the OP: I've had great luck getting seats at the bar at Teatro post-ballet. In addition to everything Niblet recommends, 49 Social has a really great burger, potent cocktails, and nice staff.

I am not usually a reader of long posts as I have the attention span of a goldfish. However, yours is a must read. Count me among the fans of Prezza - it was one of my go-tos pre-fire. I haven't been back since, but your post is definitely a warning.

Blanche, sautee, roast, pickle. Basically, treat them as you would asparagus, but just don't eat them raw.

Your salad sounds awesome. I must steal.

I don't think you're much of a drinker, but there's a thing called a pickleback. Could be your next bar order?

It's fiddlehead season. I am so happy right now. The farm down the street from my mom's house has a giant cooler filled with fiddleheads. You take 1/2 a pound, you put some money in a box - donc voila. They're also selling asparagus and rhubarb the same way. Life if good. Also, the egg lady accidentally dropped off two dozen eggs instead of one at mom's this week, so we're the winners of farm fresh eggs with the most orange yolks I've ever seen.

So far, we've only dealt with the fiddleheads in one iteration: we roasted up some chicken and sauteed some blanched fiddleheads. Looking forward to many more to come this week.

I'm a pretty big almond flour person. I use it to do my own versions of schnitzel - frying in butter. It's really good!

In addition to the ramen suggestions below, Uni serves late night ramen after 11pm on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I think it's $11 for the bowl.

You're quite close to Chinatown, which has a lot of threads you can search on. In the North End, I'm a big Prezza as well as Taranta fan. Some people like Regina's. If you're a pizza person, it's a good bet, though I still prefer Santarpio's in East Boston. Speaking of East Boston, take the blue line to Maverick and search out the delicious Hispanic options in the area.

Completely agree with this.

Charlie's or even Mike and Patty's has more character for breakfast.

I mean Centre Street Sanctuary: http://boston.eater.com/tags/centre-s...

Has anything happened with Sanctuary?

More crunchy-granola than trendy, but Blue Shirt in Davis has excellent juices.

Lord Hobo is up the road from where you're staying and has a fabulous beer list. Some may say it's hipster.

I thought the escargot ravioli didn't taste like much other than salt, sadly.

I like my cow to still be mooing.

Chicago's a fun town. I'm lucky enough to oversee an office here that I have to visit monthly, so I'm able to check out all the great restaurants this city has to offer.

After 7 days straight of renovation work (we're doing it ourselves), I'm a bit tired and a bit uninterested in cooking. I made a mindless dinner of:
grilled grass fed strip steaks
roasted broccoli with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, olive oil, and lemon then finished with some pecorino
Made a miniloaf of cornbread for the man

And now I'm off to Chicago for the week!

Tres Leches is possibly the best cake on earth!

Last weekend we fully demo'ed the pantry down to the foundation. During the week we put up four walls and this weekend we've been busy putting on a roof. I spent the week working through leftovers and such, culminating last night with pizza with leeks and ricotta and a salad.

I can't quite decide what to make tonight, but I am happy to finally be able to get to the grocer this afternoon for some fresh protein!

Not on the sales side, but we had a lovely side of ramps this week at Boston Chops.

That's what the french fries are for, I thought? :)

chicharrones, platanos, tostones

Nice grill marks!

Yeah - he was hungry and I wasn't. Happens.

A classic Monday dinner chez nous:
meat lasagna for him
a beet-celery-cucumber-ginger-pineapple juice for me and a piece of chocolate

Sometimes one just doesn't feel like cooking much. I did, however, make a fabulous salad of lettuce, avocado, pistachios, olives, celery and tuna for lunch.

Jerked beef short ribs sound fabulous!
