Open wide.
(Saturday night’s most excellent dinner: foccaccia, warmed in salted farmers’ market butter, then spread with whipped cream cheese and dijon mustard and stuffed with rare roast beef and capers. YUM.)
Sunday, we took Hyoun’s sister out for her birthday to Redbones (which means I have candied yams and beef brisket left over for today); after that, we went to watch the football game with friends of Hyoun, and one of them made these:
And there was also pork loin and garlic mashed potatoes and banana bread pre-Carcassonne. :)

I’ve mentioned in these pages before that we citizens of Camberville eat ice cream any time, anywhere. We’re lucky to have an incredible number of choices by which to indulge our passion – Christina’s in Inman, Herrell’s in Harvard and in Allston, JP Licks in a number of places, among dozens and dozens of other contenders (and a few generic national chains that we tend to snub).
Sadly, it looks like one of our local favorites, Toscanini’s, is closing.
In completely unrelated news, my freezer now contains the following flavors of ice cream: burnt caramel, cocoa pudding, belgian chocolate, cake batter, honey and sweet cream, lychee, and lemon sorbet. (The first four are all classic Tosci’s flavors; the latter were already in there before I got word of the situation.)
