No Mayo Lobster Roll from James Hook & Company

The lines at the Food Truck Throwdown today were way too long so we stopped by James Hook & Co. to grab a cup of chowder. I was looking longingly at the lobster rolls when one of the crew came up and asked if he could get something for me.

I said, "I'd love a lobster roll but I can't have mayo." He said, "Tell me how you'd like it and I'll make what you want." And, he did!

Ed and I each had a toasted bun filled with fresh, chilled lobster topped with just a drizzle of melted butter. Perfection!

This adds one more place where you can get a lobster roll without mayo. What you have is pure lobster pleasure. We'll continue the lobster roll hunt and keep reporting back to you.

Spring Is in Bloom with Gran Sarao Cava Rosé

Now that spring is in full bloom, we’re toasting the arrival of May with a Gran Sarao Cava Rosé! This was an easy choice. Because we’ve been cava fans for years and rosé lovers for as long as I can remember, combining the two just heightens the entire experience.

As you approach this sparkler, your eye is teased by its intense red currant hue. The frothy top from a generous pour draws you closer for the scent of red fruit with a hint of plum and fig preserve. But, even if your description isn’t as precise (and mine seldom is), the joy of this wine is that it’s appealing on many level.

Gran Sarao Cave Rosé not only goes well with food but is also sipable all by itself, and wins our praise for its nice, light 11.5 % alcohol.

The winery has set goals to ensure great quality of the cava they import that include: ageing, family owned company, and disgorged to order.

We’re always impressed by a good bottle of sparkling wine at an attractive price that seems to fit almost any occasion and any glass. Make it a cava rosé and we’re sold.

If You Missed the Back Bay Sun Last Week

Friends and neighbors still had a bit of difficulty finding copies of the Back Bay Sun that came out on Tuesday, April 23rd. Many of the places where they usually pick up a copy were locked down for part of the week.

It was a difficult week to decide on what to use as a cover photo. We sent a couple of options to the editors. We're happy they decided to use this photo that Penny took from the photo bridge over the Boston Marathon finish line early in the morning on April 15th. Most of the week, these flags were still in place.

You can read some of the stories at the newspaper's website www.backbaysun.com and download a copy of the paper by clicking on the "Full Print Edition" icon in the left hand column. The new issue is usually on the website by Wednesday of each week. Since that icon only lasts until the next paper is pubished, we have uploaded a copy to this link, so that you can find it anytime.

Here's a list of the places where you can pick up a copy of The Back Bay Sun. We usually get ours in the Circulation Room at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square. There, you'll also find copies of the Beacon Hill Times and the North End Regional Review.

Here's a list of the other places where you can find copies of this local paper.

Disclosure: Yes, that is one of Penny's photos on the cover. The Independent Newspaper Group, owner of all three of these papers, is one of our freelance clients and you'll see our photographs, columns, and articles in their newpapers.

Painting the Town: Fresh Paint Event from the Copley Society

Once a year, the Copley Society sends its artist members across the city to capture Boston at that moment in time. The event is called Fresh Paint. The works produced are sold a week later at a gala auction to benefit the organization.

They say: "The Copley Society of Art, Co|So, is the oldest non-profit art association in the United States, with a history dating back to 1879. We currently represent over 500 living artist members, ranging in experience from students to nationally-recognized artists and in style from traditional and academic realists to contemporary and abstract painters, photographers, and sculptors."

We Say: This is one of our favorite walks of the year. It's free, you pick your route, you get to meet and chat with talented people, and you can even take your dog along. And, the Co|So gallery on Newbury Street is always worth a visit. Drop by before the weekend, pick up a map, gather some friends, and enjoy this uniquely Boston experience.

In the photo above from last year, artist Hilary Baldwin had a perfect day to paint a scene of the Public Garden and the Back Bay beyond.
