Long time, no blog! While living the large life, I have totally neglected all of you fabulous people. Thank you again so much for reading MY version of life. I really appreciate all of your feedback and support. It's really cool.
The past couple of weeks have been CRAZY busy but tons o' fun. Since my last entry I have enjoyed a freaking delish dinner at Delfino's with great friends, a fantastic concert at Fenway with some cool peeps, a refreshing holiday in New Hampshire with the hubs, and a very nice bbq with old friends from high school. And last but certainly not least. My bff had a bouncing baby girl. My god baby has arrived!!!! And she sure is precious. I am in love!
Last week, the hubs, my pup, and I stayed in the cutest little cottage at Cottage Place on Squam Lake in Holderness, NH. The movie, 'On Golden Pond' was filmed on the very same lake. The wee house number four that we chose was quaint and at the same time a bit rustic. The furniture, lamps, bedding, and pictures didn't come anywhere close to matching. There was dog fur all over the couches. I had to wash down and disinfect the tables and counters and baby ants attacked and took refuge in my dozen of Hostess donuts. I was only two deep into the box so I was really bummed. But no worries, our view of Squam Lake and the mountains and the overall awesomeness of New Hampshire in general made up for my issues with our accommodations. We will definitely be going back and I totally recommend the place.
Now! Onto what matters most. The food. Of course we brought up cold cuts, breakfast items, and TONS of junk food. Well. That is what vacation is all about. Relaxing, eating and drinking. Am I right or am I right? We were lucky to have a great week as far as the weather was concerned which was great. We hung out at the lake almost every day. It was the bomb.
One of the first nights, we decided on take-out from Village Pizza. They made me the best toasted eggplant Parmesan sub I have eaten in a long time. The sauce was tasty, just enough cheese, the eggplant was fresh and lightly fried. I loved it so much I made sure to get another one before we left. YUM! Their other food was pretty good, too. I can vouch for the steak and cheese subs and the salads.
Another day for a late lunch, after a ride back from Laconia, we popped into this dive joint called The Mug Restaurant. It has a bar on one side and a restaurant area with a pool room off of it on the other. We enjoyed some yummy wing dings for an appetizer paired with some Bud Lights. And for lunch we devoured a couple of juicy cheeseburgers and fries. They were huge and cooked to my liking and piled with fresh lettuce, tomato slices and raw onions and served on a good sized bun. For dessert, because we always have to have dessert, we shared a spectacular piece of fried dough with loads of powdered sugar and cinnamon. Finger licking deliciousness. So good, we returned another evening for some more fried dough, Bud Lights, and some monkey bread. Can you say scrumptious? OMG! I had never sampled monkey bread before and served with vanilla ice cream-yummo. To say the least, I was more than pleased.
Our trip was fabulous and my foodie adventures were a great success. Per usual. We did try some other places but I won't overload you all with the savory stories just yet. Until we meet again. Peace!
