Somerville & Whitinsville, MA
There’s nothing like a chill weekend with friends and family after 3 weeks of constant travel and both of us coming down with yucky colds. We spent Saturday night with Dana and Amy, Gage’s cousins (which I guess would now make them my cousins). It was so fun having good conversation, with great company, over good food. Dana and Amy are both so funny and smart that we could have been eating ramen and had a good time, but instead they took us to Jose’s in Cambridge. Carolyn had prepared an awesome list of Boston eateries for us, but we arrived with little time and even less energy, so luckily Dana and Amy had it all planned out. Now Dana assured me that it was good Mexican food, but being a veteran of the northeastern region of the USA, I was skeptical to say the least. The northeast is known for good Italian, but it seems to have missed the message on good Mexican. Well, Dana, I will never doubt you again. Which is why I knew that breakfast would be rocking as well. We went to Cambridge’s B-Side where I received slices of French toast thicker than my wrist topped with enough fruit to fill the Chiquita Banana girl’s hat. This may seem only slightly exciting to you but the previous night we ate just-add-water soup cups and for breakfast we had just-add-water soup cups. Hence the meal play-by-play. More important than our gastronomy, though, was seeing Amy preggers and looking great. Considering how cool both of them are, the kid should turn out pretty awesome (or Dana may try to return him/her to the hospital). Thanks to both of you for putting up with us and putting us up.
