South End Buttery

October 7, 2009

I am still drooling over the thought of my breakfast sandwich this morning and it’s 10:oo at night! I had a little extra time this morning so I headed over to the South End Buttery. It’s a real melt-in-your-mouth kinda place. I’m seriously salivating just thinking about it. I’m not even joking. I went here last week and ordered the Peanut Buttery: homemade peanut butter and Nutella on toasted croissant. It was so savory that I made a point to eat it super slow, as to make the flavors last as long as possible. I highly recommend this item on the menu. You can also get it with bananas or homemade preserves, which I will have to try sometime if I’m in the mood. Sounds scrumptious. Today I went with a real hearty breakfast item… the Buttery Country Biscuit: scrambled eggs, crispy bacon and aged cheddar on buttermilk biscuit. I want to eat this breakfast sandwich again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. I want to eat this breakfast sandwich every day for the rest of my life. The biscuit is out of this world buttery and delicous, the eggs were great, the cheese- aged perfectly, and the bacon?

SO juicy, bring it on.

The Buttery has one awards for the past 3 years for their coffee AND cupcakes. YES! They have cupcakes!! And I bet they are insanely delicious. AND BUTTERY!

Don’t you already love this place? Even if you haven’t even been to it yet? How can you not? It’s name is The Buttery. Anything with the word buttery in it has to be a winner. And clearly, it is.

Pomodoro

October 5, 2009

Went to dinner tonight at Pomodoro in Brookline Village. Oh. So. Delicious. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the food is excellent. We all tried something different and everyone was satisfied with their meal. I ordered a pasta dish with pork and butternut squash, Meg went with the scallops, and Lauren had shrimp risotto.

And the best part? Dessert. We ordered a Tiramisu for the table and were pleasantly surprised when our waiter brought over one of each of the deserts for us to try. LUCKY!

Don’t know what any of the deserts were called, but I do know they were heavenly. I was so full afterwards I felt slightly nauceous, but in the best way possible. Love delicious food!

Oh, and what better opportunity than this to get a new roomates picture… here we are!

Brookline Lunch

October 4, 2009

For the past 2 Sundays, Zan and I have been heading over to Central Square in Cambridge to get our breakfast fix at Brookline Lunch. This place is a diamond in the rough. It’s food is fantastic and the atmosphere a little alternative, which is fun and different from my usual style. The place is super quirky—nothing matches, the ceiling is painted and drawn on, and local artwork hangs on the exposed brick walls. The wait staff is efficient enough and it’s pretty quick getting in and out of there, even if you do have to wait a couple minutes to get a table. Last week I ordered the eggs benedict. YUM. This week Zan opted for the steak benedict (amazing) and I went with the special: chocolate chip pancakes. They were oh so chocolatey and oh so delicious. Three huge pancakes stacked on top of each other…I didn’t have a chance of making it even halfway through so Zan got lucky and got to eat his meal, plus they remainder of mine. Clearly, he enjoyed himself. In fact he gave it two thumbs up. I second that!

Copley Farmers Market

September 29, 2009

Oh MY! I went to the Copley Farmers Market today and had a hay-day. The market runs on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5/19-11/24… which means I still have 2 more months of delicious and fresh fruits, vegetables, and baked goods. YUM-MMY. This is not my first time at the farmers market, but I did just start going this fall because I’m not working full time and actually have the hours off that the market is open. I love it. I look forward to Tuesdays so much now! Which, I might add, is AWESOME because seriously, who likes Tuesdays? Today I came home with all sorts of goodies: zucchini, heirloom tomatoes, raspberries, and the best chocolate banana bread in the whole entire country. I bought the big loaf this week because last time I bought the small loaf and ate the entire thing by myself in less than 2 hours. I thought I would be more generous and share this time around. Good thing I bought the big loaf too, because I ate quite a bit when I got home. Then Meg and Lauren had a go at it. And now there are only a few slices left (hopefully, they’ll still be some around for b-fast in the AM). Man, that bread is something else.

Here’s some photos I took today (some at the market and some of my purchases):
