We are so excited to be headed to Martha’s Vineyard for some ocean air, seafood and a bike ride or two.
Enjoy your holiday weekend!
- Last week these Somerville businesses raised money for organizations that support people impacted by new abortion legislation. (Rebel, Rebel quickly sold out of rosé!)
If you want to get in on the action, you can donate to the organizations: - #YouKnowMe — Women being brave and loud.
- If you happen to be in the Boston Common or the Public Garden this weekend, perhaps for a swan boat ride or to see the ducklings, check out the Military Heroes Garden of Flags for a field of red, white and blue in honor of our state’s service members.
- Are you entertaining this weekend? Here are some suggestions for your dinner:
- Sparkling Rhubarb Cocktails with olives and light nibbles
- Mussels with Sweet Italian Sausage and White Wine with Garlic Toasts
- Pasta Primavera
- Strawberry Spinach Salad
- Rhubarb Almond Cake
- As I plan for a trip to Italy, I am immersed in all things Italian, including:
- Cucina Tipica — Currently reading this book for its wonderful food descriptions.
- Pane e Tulipani — This sweet and funny movie takes place in Venice, which is my first stop in Italy.
- See You in the Piazza: New Places to Discover in Italy — I gave Frances Mayes’s latest book to my husband and I’m borrowing it to read about places we might want to visit. I loved her book Under the Tuscan Sun.
- Goodness: Maybe you already heard the news — Morehouse College Graduates’ Student Loans to Be Paid Off by Billionaire.
