Memorial Weekend in Boston

It was a nice getaway to Boston over this past Memorial weekend. Walked through The Yard and The Square watching the undergrads and their families load up their belongings in preparation for the summer and all their glorious world travel to Asia, Africa, Europe and even the Midwest for the most extreme- seekers. Rode the red line over the Charles River again with the gorgeous views of the Boston skyline. I think I even teared up a little. Attended Memorial Church for service on Sunday. Relived my PAE hell.

One of the highlights of this trip was the great dinner at Oleana that April and I enjoyed on Sunday evening. We started off with their deviled eggs with tuna & black olives and their spinach falafel & mache salad with tahini, yogurt and beets. Then I selected the pork chop with melted manchego cheese & fried fiddleheads with romesco vinaigrette (never knew what fiddleheads were but they were delish!) and April opted for the skirt steak with tomato, cumin, caramelized butter & cheese borek. Of course no dinner is complete without some sweets and so we continued to indulge ourselves by ordering the sicilian almond cremolata with warm chocolate panino and each enjoyed a glass of the sparkling Moscato d'Asti, Elio Perrone 'Clarté' of Piedmonte, Italy (I need to find a store that sells this divine nectar!)
