3 Floors Up

my walk from Cambridge into Somerville

Ray’s birthday was at the end of June and I found a way to bypass his “no-cake” proclamation.  Apparently, cupcakes are not outlawed.

I went to Kickass Cupcakes in Davis Square and picked up half a dozen of their tastiest sounding flavors:  double chocolate, mojito, s’mores, chocolate w/Sam Adam’s frosting, cinnamon chai pecan, lemon w/white chocolate frosting and candied ginger

Ray’s favorite was the double chocolate, but that might have had something to do with the cute little candle and the banner that read, “Have a Kickass Birthday.”  I really liked the Sam Adam’s and we both really enjoyed the s’mores cupcake, which is pictured above.

One contributing factor to my long absence was my discovery of the Japanese company Re-ment. Basically, for the past 3 weeks, every time I went online, I ended up looking at miniature food for hours on end.

Oh my goodness, I’ve been so bad about blogging.  I can’t believe it’s been close to a month since my last entry! 

As usual, I’ve been preoccupied by food, and right now is no exception.  Tonight, I stopped by Bloc 11 and ordered The Rivet.

prosciutto, basil-infused herb ricotta, caramelized onions, tomato, and spring greens on rosemary focaccia

strawberry, mango, green tea, and chocolate mochi

Sometimes I think I have a favorite, but it’s too hard to decide.

Tonight I made a heaping plate of Jollibee-style spaghetti.  Jollibee is a Filipino fast food chain with U.S. locations on the west coast.  Earlier this year, my cousin told me about it while we were in San Francisco.  The food was great, especially their palabok which was almost as good as my nanay’s–And that’s saying alot!

As I sat in Blue Ribbon eating my incredibly delicious pulled pork sandwich, I wondered, “Why has it taken me over a year to come back??”

The plan is to get a desk long enough for two.  I like the idea of sharing the same work area with Ray comfortably.  A long desk would also come in handy when Ray wants to work on a collaborative project from home.  Using Ikea’s Vika Amon series, I want to create a 6 foot table with castors.
