happy birthday, bails!

I didn’t give a proper birthday post to Bailey on her actual birthday, but it’s okay because I had a good excuse– we were together!

It was so great to have old friends in town this weekend as we celebrated one of my bestest friend’s birthday. Bailey is one of those friends that will never let you down. She’s always good for a conversation, is always up for having a fun time, and is just one of those people that you feel lucky to have in your life.

We had a dElicious dinner at Gaslight in the South End, which had the perfect atmosphere for our small group. Although we made a reservation, we had to wait quite a while for our table to be ready. The place is so popular it’s VERY busy on the weekends (and with food like this, it’s easy to understand why). We hardly minded at all as we sipped our drinks at the bar and posed for some pictures with the Nikon.

The food was amazing, and we even got to try several appetizers “on the house” because we had to wait so long for a table….

Fondue with melting fontina, pork sausage, garlic and croutons

Country Pâté with coarse mustard, pork sausage and bayonne ham

Fried Artichokes with nicoise olives, onion, sweet pepper and spicy aioli

Tarbais Bean Puree with nicoise olive tapenade, romesco & flatbread

Yes, please! They were yummy and fabulous!

It was a such great night… great food in my favorite city with the most wonderful friends.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BAILS!!! xoxo

Happy Birthday, Bosom!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Maureen!

I love you to the moooooooon. See you in 2 weeks for the best weekend EVER! YAY!

spring has sprung

It’s official. Spring has sprung here in Beantown and I couldn’t be happier. This is one of the most perfect times in New England and I’m glad to witness the glorious change of the seasons. I very often say I don’t like winter, but without it, spring wouldn’t be nearly as special now would it?

What are you up to this weekend?

Today I’m out celebrating my dear friend Katharine and her upcoming wedding… it’s a busy day with her bridal shower and bachelorette party later tonight. A weekend of dress up and champagne: my favorite!
