Barismo in Arlington

May 11, 2013

Barismo

I still sometimes can’t believe that I gave up coffee for a little while not just because of the caffeine but also because I love the flavor.

Pavement Coffee House

Pavement Coffee

Last Friday after my Pure Barre Boston class, Margaret and I met our friend Sara at Pavement Coffee House for some breakfast.  This location used to be called Espresso Royale Caffe (ERC) and was close to my heart because I used to go to the BU campus location ALL the time.

Pumpkin Lasagna, Cider, and Coffee Syrup!

September 24, 2012

Yesterday Dave and I had to pick up some red wine for a pumpkin lasagna that my friend Rosemary made for our ladies luncheon at work one year. This lasagna has become one of our favorite meals because the pumpkin is really subtle and all the flavored together are amazing! But instead of just coming out with a bottle of wine for lasagna, we ended up leaving the store with all this:
