More flowers because I can't help but take photos of them.

Beautiful day for lunch outside

The weather is beautiful enough now to venture outdoors for lunch. Everyone is gathering these days on the big lawn outside the building. The grounds are kept beautiful and lush with green grass. It's a little damp to see on the ground directly like this fellow, but the tables are frequently full. If you see the lady sitting up by the building in the background, that's where I usually like to gather. There are benches, chairs and tables, often empty, and directly in the sun. It's a beautiful place to kickback for a mid day break.

Seedling

My seedlings are already busting out! I am notoriously bad at caring for seedlings, so I hope they make it past this stage, honestly.

Cheeseboy
South Station
Boston, MA

I was headed home for the weekend and discovered the newest addition to South Station. A grilled cheese fast food company. Woah. Different breads, cheese and add-ons make for a delicious (although not particuarly healthy) lunch on the go. Comfort food for a long train ride.

I ordered the healthiest option possible: Whole wheat bread with low fat swiss cheese and fresh tomatoes. It wasn't half bad and I was starving. Not really a good nod to healthy eating, but definitely worth the one-time taste test. Whomever came up with the idea for this chain was brilliant.

Tres Leche Cake

One of my coworkers had a birthday today. He's orginally from Mexico, and since I've been on an ethnic/cultural kick for my birthday cake themes, I thought I'd try my hand at Tres Leches.

There is a reason people rave about this cake. I was a little wary of the overly sweet soaked sponge cake, but after the first bite I was won over. This is probably the most amazing cake ever created. Dentists everywhere must curse its existence.

I snagged by recipe from my recently purchased cookbook, My Sweet Mexico by Fanny XXXX. This is where I got the recipe for the milk fudge last month.
