Vacation Day Breakfast with Sister

It is a fact that whenever I have a day off and the Evil Twin and I get in a car together, we somehow end up driving around for f*cking hours and hours just messing about.

It is hysterical.

Today we started off planning to go to Friendly Toast in Cambridge, then ended up going to Sorella's in JP because we sort of thought we'd go visit Grandpapa in rehab. Yeah, I have a Grandpapa in rehab. Woot!

But then the food at Sorella's took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to come out and by the time we were done we had to run off to an appointment (the Evil Twin works for herself and her vacation requests are always denied. Bitch boss right?) and then off again to another appointment. After which we stopped at the area big box so I could get some canning jars (rhubarb!!) and some jar lifters. The Evil Twin bought some yarn and a cap organizer.

Oh and then we had to run back into town to drop some papers off at my Grandpapa's apartment.

By that point I was like oh holy crap, get me the hells outta this car before I vomit so I got dropped off. And the Evil Twin took off because she had a couple more appointments.

Ohhhhh yeah right, this was meant to be about the food at Sorella's. Let me tell you, that place is lucky the food is delicious because it was freezing cold due to the door being left open, and I kept getting a whiff of dirty. You know how when the tables get wiped off with a too-dirty dishrag? Yeah, dirty like that. And then it took waaaaay too long to get our food anyway. People who came in much later than we did got their orders long before us, and then my food came out before the Evil Twin's did. Boo hiss..


(boo hoo, no food)

However, it was seriously delicious and worth every cranky moment.

I got Mexican polenta and the ET got the homemade polenta





Homemade polenta with marinara & mozzerella.
Broccoli & home fries.


Spicy Mexican polenta with vegetarian chili & home fries.
Oh and melted cheese under there. YUM!

where do you get canning jars/equipment? That's something I am kind of interested in trying.

Devilham: Usually places like Dots have canning kits. I think that the kits are pretty useful because you get everything all at once. I have been trying to find a rack separately from the kit and I have had no luck, so I have had to improvise.

Alex: Not only is the bean slop covering the polenta but there is a piece of CHEESE under there too!!And how awesome was it to have breakfast with Superman?! Pretty awesome!

You should be eating: Braised Chicken Meatballs

Image
This was an impulse order at the Dumpling Cafe on Washington Street in Boston. (True story: when I was telling my Mom where it was, I used the Naked i as a point of reference.) I'd actually gone for the xiao long bao (broth filled dumplings) also known as "Juicy Buns", which they are famous for apparently. Hey, better late to the party than to not party at all, right? Because I did my homework, I knew to load one on to the spoon and then to nibble a little hole and suck out the piping hot broth. That is a tip that you will thank me for later, I promise you. There is no time that biting down enthusiastically into a bun filled with scalding hot filling and broth will reward you in any way. Also I knew from my homework that the key was to order everything at once while the waitstaff was near you. So in a panic I ordered the braised chicken meatballs. What a treat! They come with baby bok choy and a plate of rice. I totally think you should go eat them righ...

In April when the temps rise above 40, everyone around these parts switches over to iced coffee with a childlike glee that summah is just around the cornah. However when the temps rise to the 80's we all just complain. It's too soon for the beach, in a day or two the temps will drop back to the 40's, everyone is hot in their Easter dresses, it's too soon for A/C. We complain because we know that summah does NOT arrive in April, no matter how much global warming is happening, the possibility of a snow storm exists right through the end of the month. But hey, it was Easter and it was hot so we grilled and drank cold drinks and ate cool desserts. Sriracha grilled shrimp is literally one of my most favorite things to grill. If you are a recipe person, use this recipe from Food 52: Spicy Shrimp Recipe . If you are a just-wing-it cook like me, you basically marinate peeled and deveined shrimp in a gloopy mess of olive oil, Sriracha, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, br...

Aggressive coffee.

The Evil Twin got us iced coffees this morning because it's what you do in Boston when the temps are above 40 degrees. Apparently she ordered hers "fucked up with 28 splenda". There is no other explanation. Unless it's "fuck you and your 28 splenda".
