Sunday's picture and a song: Boston Beans and BostonZest

Sel de la Terre's roasted vegetable wrap: zucchini, portobello mushroom, roasted red pepper, sliced cucumber, chèvre goat cheese and pesto.

Like singer Peggy Lee, I've discovered that "they have no beans in Boston". But thanks to outings with Penny of BostonZest, I've come to learn that the city is a foodies' delight. Rather than write a post about our lunch at Sel de la Terre, a restaurant serving farm fresh, Provençal-inspired cuisine and sparkling wine from Massachusetts, I invite you to read Penny's review of her 2008 Thanksgiving dinner. After all, she's the widely acknowledged expert on Boston!

I do, however, have to say that I was so impressed by the service, setting and food at SDLT that I took our entire family there for lunch yesterday. It was just as good the second time around as it was the first. Next on my wish list is dinner at the exclusive chef's table in the kitchen at their sister restaurant, L'Espalier. Watching the chefs at work would be the ultimate culinary experience.

Many thanks to Joseph the Butler for recommending today's song!

  1. Yum yum yum, all around yum. Every dish looks so tasty. I'm particularly drawn to the charcuterie plate!

    And nothing like a little Peggy Lee to hop up my Sunday. I think I have to put the cd on now and listen to the whole thing.

  6. It is possible to watch Houston Texans games online or on TV without an expensive Cable TV package. Usually these games are on FOX, but that may change depending on schedule, type of game or national interest.

  8. The Kentucky Derby is one of the biggest events in sports every year, but before this year's race can begin, the horses will need to be given post positions during the official draw.Traditionally held at Pimlico Race Course on the third Saturday in May, the Preakness was postponed April 3 because of the coronavirus pandemic. The weather Saturday turned out to be ideal -- slightly breezy with temperatures around 80 degrees -- but there were no patrons in the Pimlico grandstand or infield, and no horses in the starting gate for the scheduled 6:45 p.m. race.

  9. Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Wineland gets the chance to comeback to work after being left on the bench. At UFC on ESPN 8 in March, He was scheduled to take on Marlon Vera when government limitations prompted the postponement of the event to 16th May.
