Missing Snowpocalypse 2010

Posted by JJT in Blogging on February 6, 2010

I am currently in Boston, awaiting the Beanpot on Monday night.  I was fortunate enough to leave Baltimore before the beginning of Snowpocalypse 2010.

I have been virtually enjoying it via Twitter, Facebook, and text messages.  Still, the best forecast I have seen, summing up how I feel about our rash of weekend snowstorms, comes from Jim Kosek at Accuweather.com.

"And the snow beast continueth."

The Height of (My) Culinary Delights

Posted by JJT in Blogging on February 15, 2009

While in Boston last weekend, my friends and I went to dinner at L’Espalier.  The restaurant is a favorite of my friend and his wife, and the rest of us went along for the recommended cuisine.

We partook in the Chef’s Tasting Journey, essentially a multiple-course meal prepared by the chef.  Some of us in the group partook in the wine pairings courtesy of the somelier.  The rest of us opted for what was before us.

The menu is below.

I will admit to enjoying good food, but I have to admit that everything on this menu was pretty tasty.  The desert was also quite good.  According to my friends who enjoyed the wine pairings, they were also quite good.  The entire meal took well over 3 hours, and I will merely say that it was quite expensive.  It was well worth it, though.
