Chourico, anyone?

i love, love. love it. i fry it and eat it on a roll with mustard. chunk it and throw it in with a oven roast. throw it in some portuguese kale soup. it's a spicy sausage and very delicious. i don't care for the hot just the reg/mild variety.

I know it's an old wive's tale, but I _____ anyway.

i don't put shoes on a table and have a heart attack if i see someone else do it. i always give a peeled onion a quick rinse under cold water before i cut it and i never get teary. if i cook corn of any type it always gets a sprinkle of sugar on top of the water when it starts to get warm. can't do the rice and salt thing, it reminds me of bugs. these habits all come from my grandmother.

Food for Him going through Chemo

my mom went through that and she mostly ate what she felt like having. she just had to have food and drinks at room temp. anything cold or warm made her feel like she was putting glass slivers in her mouth.

Lobster rolls (and other food) in and around Boston

if you do decide to head down to providence, then adventure about 20 minutes farther on 95 south, and go to warwick, ri. take e14 and stay to the left then get over to the right and take your first exit. stay r off the exit and take a left at the airport intersection. bk will just before it on your r. take the left and go down about 4 miles until you come to dave's marketplace on your right. at that light take a right and go down all the way. stay to the right the whole way down it forks just after stop&shop. go into oakland beach, this will be across from you when you reach west shore road. go to the end, cross over the little intersection, and straight into the seawall. iggy's seafood is on your right and the ocean is in front of you. a crazy and fun spot to spend the day and/or bite. it's very easy to find and if you do decide to go, i hope you enjoy it. it's one of the most popular spots in ri, unless you wanna go to narragansett, then just follow r1a. more seafood places than you can count..

Market Scene: Pawtucket Wintertime Farmers' Market in Providence, Rhode Island

the market is to small to really enjoy it. it's much better when the market is downtown by the river and police station. indoors the market is long but only gives you about 5 feet to walk through. and if you go on a rainy day like i did, it gives ya a eewwwy feeling. to close for comfort.

that sounds really great. i've never noticed pear cider before.

Providence, Rhode Island: Where to Eat on College Hill

tortilla flats has not served a decent, never mind good meal in at least 20 years. the only thing that is worth going for is the chips and salsa with a nice margarita to wash it down.
seven stars bakery is always perfect. i stop there every weekend before i take my walk on the blvd.
taste of india never disappoints.
a few doors up from seven stars is a nice little russian store that has a fun deli counter.
and what can i say about federal hill? yummy!

Apple Cider.

@foodie 19~i've never tried making my own. but, if you take a ride to the big apple, they have a whole watch the cider being made area. they will explain everything you want to know. don't forget the bag of donuts, they are awesome. i think it's open all year also.
