Alimentum is Our Friday Link

Those of us who love to express our creativity through food also love to find publications and websites that collect great work to inspire us. Alimentum is one of those sites.

They say:

"Since 2005 Alimentum has been delighting readers with stories, essays, and poems that use food as a kind of muse to inspire memory, ideas, humor, joy, melancholy, triumph and reflection. The works are not just about what’s on your plate. They explore our deep personal connection to how we eat, what we eat, and the very primal part food plays in our lives.."

We say:

We have been following and enjoying this carefully curated collection since its early days as a print publication. There are still some early copies tucked amid our cookbooks. Most were passed along to other food lovers. Now that it's available online, get over there and explore the site. 

Here's the site.

Here's their Twitter feed.

Boston Public Alley 101

Yes, in this college town we do understand the need for basic, entry level courses in everything. We even have Public Alley 101 in Boston's North End.

Some alleys in Boston descend from old footpaths while others, like those in the Back Bay and South End, were designed as service alleys to allow deliveries and services to have access from the rear of the buildings.

The website, Forgotten Boston has a section with more information on alleys.

Edible Boston Fall 2012 Issue Around Town Now!

Edible Boston's covers are so attractive that I can envision them framed on my dining room wall. This issue is no exception. Nice work by photographer Michael Piazza.

The Fall 2012 issue is around town now. I found a stack of them at Bauer Wine & Spirits on Newbury Street. Howie Rubin had nice things to say about the success of his advertising in this publication. I know that Edible Boston has been an asset to the local food community, but I'm really happy to hear that it's good for the businesses that support it with their advertising dollars.

Every issue seems to feature someone near to our hearts at BostonZest. This time, there's a feature on the family team from the Mei Mei Street Kitchen food truck. 

Pick up a copy and enjoy the insight provided on many aspects of the local food scene.

The Now & Future Sunday Dog, King!

Maybe it’s just us, but it seems as though there are a lot of puppies in Boston this summer. Then again, in the midst of raising one of our own, maybe we’re just noticing more of these little ones. Or, in King’s case, not so little.

This handsome, four-month-old German Shepherd is growing fast and couldn’t wait to greet us, especially our Poppy.



When we all stopped to exchange sniffs (well, not all of us), King did a “hello pee.” Poppy told her new friend that she knows the feeling and, while I couldn’t be sure, seemed to be passing along some advice on the practice.

King, named in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and to salute a father’s work as a civil rights attorney, seems to be adjusting well to his new surroundings.



There’s a confident, self-assured, almost regal attitude about this guy. Just look at that face! Maybe we should call our Sunday Dog, “The Now & Future King of Boston Dogs!” Sounds good to us.

Get to know all of our Sunday Dogs at Boston Dogs.

Stained Glass Wings

Walking along Newbury Street we spotted these beautiful stained glass, bumble bee wings working away above a buttery yellow bloom.
