Some of our hotels have wifi, in which case expect some posts and pictures of local eats, volcanoes putting on a show, monkeys, and tropical birds. I am so excited!!

Late night eats…

Introducing: The Jucy Lucy

Minneapolis taverns are famous for serving a sandwich called the Jucy Lucy, a moist beef burger stuffed with American cheese. Now, learn how to make it.

This looks just delightful.

Until Friday for a wonderful professional conference.  I even had the opportunity to showcase my research tonight, which was very exciting. Plus, I love Boston and had so much fun when I was here last summer with Slip. Perhaps more important than the conference? My tasty to-do list (short and sweet):

• Lobster roll. Please. Thank you.
• Return to The Friendly Toast in Kendall Square

Bellinis with Hannah’s canned peaches to celebrate her graduation. A nice treat on a 90 degree day.

At a wedding in Ohio and these little buckeyes are waiting for us on the tables. Love it. Congrats Guy and Jen!

My mom came into town today and we had breakfast at Parc. Can’t go wrong with brioche toast and nueske bacon. C’est bon.

Gotta love Philadelphia for: urban gardens and around town murals. This one snapped today next to one of my favorite locales for coffee and a treat, Cake and the Beanstalk, on Locust Street.

Really craving a cupcake. I had a sweet potato cupcake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting today from Brown Betty and it was soooo good. Reminded me of the last time I had a yummy cupcake from there…
