Hello, Sunday.  

It’s been a fun weekend here, my little Boston escape.  The weather has been perfect and that has really dictated the whole trip.  Leisurely strolls along the river in the sun, stopping every now and then for a cannoli (now AND then) It’s my first time here, which surprises me to be honest, but for some reason I just never made it this way.  And, as I suspected, I love it.  

I hope your weekend is treating you just as well. If cannolis aren’t in your future, hopefully something equally indulgent is. Start May off with a bang.

I’m here for a few more days, so follow my adventures on the Instagram, #adventuresoftheHB

Things worth a read, say I, says the internet.  Here we go:

I started watching a show on Amazon called “Catastrophe.” It’s hilarious and laugh-out-loud-on-the-couch-scaring- your-cat-funny.  Here’s what piqued my interest, and hopefully it’ll pique yours.

Tourists behaving badly, and measures used to stop them.  Remember tourists, boy scout motto.

Hero dog dies after saving earthquake victims.  Poor guy. Sad.

Further proof that Tinder is the worst. As if we needed it.

Reminder: you’re never too old to make it happen.

Hello, CJ. Welcome back to the West Wing.

To quote my friend, “a fun read about the Royal planner, trivialized by terrible headline regarding the price of her shoes.”

It’s almost time for the Olympics, so naturally it’s time for P&G to make us cry with another “thanks, Mom” commercial.  But really, thanks Mom.

WHERE IS THE COMMON SENSE???

Cinco de Mayo’s coming. Let’s round it up! And again!

Have a good week!

Written whilst watching Dirty Dancing, and then Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (which is better, I think).

If you’ve been checking your calendar you may be as surprised as I am that it’s almost May. Freakin MAY.  What the heck?!  Twenty-16 is flying by as quick as a flea.

With May comes many things. May Day. Mother’s Day.  Tulips.  Late spring.  Margaritas.

Yup, as May starts, so is Cinco de Mayo once upon us again.  

I go through weeks where it’s like Cinco de Mayo all the time in Apt 2RB. Mexican food is the one cuisine of which I never tire, and which I never really have to be in the mood to eat because, really,  I’m always in the mood to shove some tacos in my face.

Last year, the people at work and I decided to throw a potluck for May 5th, and it was such a success that it snowballed into a quarterly event. For Mardi Gras fun, check it here.

To help you duplicate our duplicate-worthy efforts, I’ve combined a list of must-haves to make your Cinco party muy bueno.  Different strokes for different folks, this sign up sheet accommodates the at-home cooks and the at-store buyers.  Win-win for all.

We’re building a taco bar because that’s the most fun way.  Here we go. (more…)

Happy Thursday folks! It’s just past mid-week and we’re staring Friday in the face.  We’re almost there. We need coffee. How about some cafe de olla?
