The Number 50 Disher

Monday, September 1st, 2008

Our adventures in Boston this summer as a family involved three critical things: My Uncle's family (and the discovery of Katamari on PS2); Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, CT (though I prefer Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT, because they don't have sea turtles at Mystic.) Wrentham Outlets...where we kinda raided the kitchen supply stores, ...

SBU Catering

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Cookies. So far, between the Orientation for my Department and the one meant for PhD students, I've sampled what SBU catering can do. They're not quite NYU's Aramark people, but they know how to bake a righteous cookie.
