    Opening our doors 2012

    They say: "Opening Our Doors in the Fenway brings together many of Boston’s best cultural and academic institutions, community organizations and business partners in a wonderfully diverse day of free cultural activities for the whole family. Events range from music and dance performances to historical tours, lectures, walking tours of the Fenway, glass blowing demonstrations, indoor kite flying and much more!"

    We say: The Fenway neighborhood is far more than Kenmore Square, sports, and nightclubs. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know the artistic and cultural treasures that bring dollars into our economy and support year round jobs.

  • Alimentum is Our Friday Link

    Alimentum

    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.

  • Close to Nature in the City

    DSC_6418 - Version 22012-06-29-bee-hydrengea-blue-© 2011 Penny Cherubino

    Living in the city seems to put me more in touch with nature, than I was when I lived in the suburbs.

    Here I see the bees at work on flowers inches from my side, like this busy buzzer collecting pollen from a beautiful hydrangea.

    When walking is your primary means of transportation, you can look around and enjoy the trees that shade you and celebrate the gardens that add color and fragrance to your day.

    What's on your walking shopping list? Shop Amazon's own Endless shoe store and support this site! It won't cost you anymore, but Amazon will put a few coins in our tip jar!
