Okay, I've got a couple of vacations to catch you all up on! I think I will work backwards, starting with this past weekend's trip to Montreal. What a lovely city. Beautiful, easy to get around, great food and friendly Canadians...what's not to love? A few favorites to check out: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://muvboxconcept.com/" target="_blank">Porchetta</a>, a mobile restaurant on the waterfront in the Old Port is a perfect place for lunch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.basiliquenddm.org/" target="_blank">Notre Dame</a> Basilica</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.stviateurbagel.com/main/" target="_blank">St. Viatur's </a>bagel shop in the Plateau neighborhood. The best part is watching the giant bagel spatula carry like 30 bagels at a time out of the brick oven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The <a href="http://pacmusee.qc.ca/en/about-pointe-a-calliere" title="About Pointe-à-Callière">Pointe-à-Callière Museum of Archaeology and History,</a> which is by far the best archaeology museum I have ever encountered. Their exhibition on the history of Montreal allows you to experience a partially excavated archaeological site, using found artifacts to illustrate different periods. You absolutely must visit. No excuses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_67" target="_blank">Habitat 67</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.cacao70.ca/" target="_blank">Cacao 77</a> for their fruit and chocolate plate. Or anything chocolate, really.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dinner at <a href="http://restaurantlexpress.ca/" target="_blank">L'Express</a>. The food is great and waitstaff is all charming young Frenchmen. You'll thank me later.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The B&B cocktail at <a href="http://www.drinkerie.ca/" target="_blank">Le Drinkerie</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And ofcourse, <a href="http://www.montreal.com/parks/mtroyal.html" target="_blank">Mont Royal Park</a>.</div>

I could easily have given a happy home to most everything in this shop. Everything is SO well crafted, nicely styled and just plain beautiful. I often have a strong connection to handmade objects, particularly anything crafted of wood, likely because my Dad was a bit of a woodworker. I have so many memories of him in the garage, the sound of the saw zipping and the smell of sawdust all around. So, Farm Table really felt a bit like home.</div>

Took my first trip to Vermont this past weekend. Mostly Burlington. All I have to say is Vermont is giving <a href="http://therotaryblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Maine" target="_blank">Maine</a> a run for its money! Well deserved praise goes to: <a href="http://bluebirdvermont.com/" target="_blank">Bluebird Coffee</a>, <a href="http://www.farmhousetg.com/home.html" target="_blank">Farmhouse Tap and Grill</a> (where I enjoyed an almost magical evening), <a href="http://www.stonesoupvt.com/" target="_blank">Stone Soup</a>, and <a href="http://www.cortijovt.com/home.html" target="_blank">El Cortijo</a> (margaritas reminiscent of my dear <a href="http://heartlandblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/eldorado-grill-madison-wi.html" target="_blank">El Dorado</a>.) <br />
<br />
Burlington is such a great mix of city and beautiful nature areas. One of my absolute favorite spots was the Island Line Trail, a pedestrian walkway (technically a <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreshoreway" target="_blank">foreshoreway</a></i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreshoreway" target="_blank">, </a>I've just learned<i>) </i>between islands. Amazing!<br />

It's almost the weekend, so I thought I'd better get to telling you about last weekend before it's too late! Sunday was a wonderful day spent eating donuts, visiting the ocean and roaming around Salem. By far my best discovery was <a href="http://www.ajkingbakery.com/index.html" target="_blank">A & J King's Bakery</a>. Which surprisingly was not <a href="http://therotaryblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/i-love-donuts.html" target="_blank">the source of the aforementioned donuts</a>! Yes, I am the kind of girl who visits TWO bakeries within three hours. A & J King's is one of those lovely spots where you wish you could spend your entire day hanging out, drinking coffee and reading. The sandwiches and bakery were stellar and this is the first place I've found on the east coast that has Fougasse, much like my dearly missed <a href="http://heartlandblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/batch-bakehouse.html" target="_blank">Batch Bakehouse</a>.<br />
<br />
So, yeah, this is most definitely love.<br />

It's spring!!! Our new <a href="http://therotaryblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/drumlin-farm.html" target="_blank">springtime tradition</a> is a visit to the <a href="http://www.massaudubon.org/Nature_Connection/Sanctuaries/Drumlin_Farm/index.php" target="_blank">Drumlin Farm</a> in the beautiful countryside of Lincoln, Massachusetts. The farm was full of new life, both plants and animals, including kid goats that were only a couple of hours old! What a wonderful place this Drumlin Farm. <br />

As I sat down to think about what to share with you from the last month, what kept coming to mind was food. Always with the food over here, right? In the past few weeks, I've found not one but two new favorite restaurants! First, I enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner at <a href="http://tentables.net/" target="_blank">Ten Tables</a> Cambridge which can be summed up in three words: braised short ribs. Enough said. And <a href="http://www.saloondavis.com/" target="_blank">Saloon</a>, a great new 1920s styled bar and restaurant in Davis Square. We also invited some friends over for a "Taste of Wisconsin" this weekend, which was great fun. For you non-Midwesterners, if you're wondering what would be on the menu at such a gathering: scrumptious cheeses from Dodgeville WI (thanks <a href="http://www.formaggiokitchen.com/" target="_blank">Formaggio</a>!) <a href="http://www.potterscrackers.com/" target="_blank">Potters Crackers</a>, deviled eggs, cranberries (yep, Wisconsin is the nations leading producer of cranberries), soft pretzels, <a href="http://www.bookbindersfoods.com/" target="_blank">Bookbinders</a> mustard, beer bratwurst served with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut and applesauce. Oh and that's not even all of it! For dessert there was Heavenly Hash, and if you've never had it, you must google a recipe for it right now. And be amazed at its existence and enduring popularity. Two other items you may not have known have Wisconsin roots: Jelly Belly jellybeans and Andes chocolate mints! Oh and to drink? Brandy old fashioneds and ofcourse, beer: Hinterland, Leinenkugel, Schlitz, Pabst, and Lakefront Brewery.<br />
<br />
Long story short (well, not really) I feel like I really need to reacquaint myself with vegetables. So, for dinner tonight I've cooked up some braised collard greens. Sure, I cooked them with bacon, but it's a start...<br />

This past weekend was spent touring my lovely sister around Boston. The stops: the <a href="http://www.russellhousecambridge.com/" target="_blank">Russell House </a>in Harvard Square, the <a href="http://www.mfa.org/" target="_blank">Museum of Fine Arts</a> (ofcourse!), <a href="http://www.mikespastry.com/" target="_blank">Mike's Pastry</a> and <a href="http://www.carmenboston.com/" target="_blank">Carmen</a> in the North End, <a href="http://tuckscandy.com/" target="_blank">Tuck's Candy</a> in Rockport and <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/helmuts-strudel-shop-rockport" target="_blank">Helmut's Strudel House</a> on <a href="http://www.cape-ann.com/bearskin.html" target="_blank">Bearkskin Neck</a>, <a href="http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/northeast/halb.htm" target="_blank">Halibut Point State Park</a>, Ipswich (but the <a href="http://www.ipswichma.com/clambox/" target="_blank">Clam Box</a> was closed!), <a href="http://www.woodmans.com/" target="_blank">Woodman's</a> in Essex (lobster rolls!), and it all ended where it began-in Harvard Square-with lunch at <a href="http://cremacambridge.com/" target="_blank">Crema Cafe</a> on the way to the airport today.<br />
<br />
It was such a great weekend and I miss her already :(<br />

You know how sometimes you go online to look up one little tiny thing? And all of a sudden, two hours and like thirty <a href="http://pinterest.com/">Pinterest </a>pages later, you realize you forgot what you were even looking up to begin with? Yeah, that never happens to me either.<br />
<br />
Long story short, I have no recollection of the route that brought me to Angela Liguori's site, <a href="http://www.angelaliguori.com/index.html">Carta Inc</a>,
tonight. But am I ever glad I got there. First, the design of the
website itself, is so serenely pretty, it's just a pleasure to look at.
Second <a href="http://shop.angelaliguori.com/">her products</a> are
just as lovely...handmade books, ribbons and my favorite the vintage
glassine envelopes! And third, she's in Brookline! Hooray for awesome
Boston folks. <br />

One of my favorite things about a holiday off of work is the luxury of breakfast at home. You see usually my breakfast entails a Kashi granola bar (dark chocolate almond, if you're wondering) and a cup of coffee in my to-go mug. But today I can sit around in my PJs and a hoodie drinking coffee out of a <i>ceramic</i> (!) mug and eating something in a bowl. With a spoon, even! <br />
<br />
I celebrated this lazy morning by making a smoothie (mango, banana, pomegranate juice and honey) and having some yogurt and maple granola with fruit.<br />
<br />

While I may be enjoying my day away from the <a href="http://www.mfa.org/">MFA</a>, I hope at least some of you make it to the museum because it's free admission in honor of Martin Luther King today.<br />
<br />
And now that my lazy breakfast and internet time is wrapping up, back to working on my latest <a href="http://thetypology.com/">Typology</a> set. Hopefully to be posted later this week!<br />
<br />

You know how sometimes all of a sudden it seems like every woman you've ever met is pregnant? Welcome to my world. I am well prepared for many a baby gift now though! How adorable are these clever little onesies from <a href="http://www.eggagogo.com/">Sarah Coyne</a> of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/eggagogo?ref=seller_info">Egg-A-Go-Go</a>?<br />
<br />
And how fun is the shop name Egg-A-Go-Go?<br />

I kind of can't believe it. I first visited within my first couple of weeks of living on the east coast and it still holds a dear place in my heart.

The intricate designs and graphic quality of the images can be just amazing. I recently came across a lovely reuse of Polish papercuts by Milton Glaser in the <a href="http://designarchives.aiga.org/#/entries/%2Bid%3A19905/_/detail/relevance/asc/0/7/19905/polish-paper-cuts-1961-no-33/2">AIGA design archives</a>. Very cool.<br />
<br />
I also just learned of Boston based <a href="http://papercutsbyjoe.com/">Joe Bagley</a> who is an archaeologist by day and papercut artist by night. I feel like we have a lot in common! His beautiful work is featured in the photos here, and you can see more in his <a href="http://www.etsy.com/people/papercutsbyjoe?ref=ls_profile">Etsy shop</a>!<br />

Tis the season for soup.<br />
<br />
On a related note, I am so excited to have signed up for the breadbaking class at the <a href="http://www.cambridgeculinary.com/index.asp">Cambridge School of Culinary Arts</a> in a couple of weeks. What is better on a cold winter night than a hot bowl of soup and fresh baked bread?<br />
<br />
<i><b>Potato Leek Soup</b></i><br />
1.5 Tablespoons olive oil <br />
2 leeks, white and light green parts, washed and chopped<br />
3 medium-large russet potatoes, peeled and diced<br />
5 cups of chicken stock<br />
2 bay leaves<br />
3/4 cup of sharp cheddar <br />
1/4 cup of plain yogurt<br />
Salt and pepper<br />
Freshly chopped scallions<br />

Heat olive oil in a pot and add leeks, sauteing until soft, about 4-5 minutes. Add chicken broth, potatoes, and bay leaves. Boil until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Remove bay leaves and puree using an immersion blender (or pour into regular blender!), adding more chicken stock to thin out the consistency, if desired. Add 3/4 cup sharp cheddar, stirring until melted. Finally, stir in 1/4 cup plain yogurt, and salt and pepper to taste.

More fall goodness! One of my favorite things about Massachusetts is all of the quaint farm stands. These two, the <a href="http://www.boltonspringfarm.com/">Bolton Spring Farm</a> and Derby Ridge, are in a beautiful area about 40 miles west of Boston.<br />
<br />
P.S.<br />
I must admit...I had actually taken these photos LAST fall. Oh how time flies! I can still taste the fresh cider donuts like it was yesterday though...<br />

Really, I blame it on my parents for getting me hooked, growing up there was always fresh bread in the house. If my mom hadn't baked it, then my Dad had bought it from the grocery store bakery. Every day there was bread. And we ate it with everything. Pot roast and mashed potatoes? Bread. Roasted chicken and baked potatoes? Bread. Bread, bread, bread, bread bread.<br />
<br />
One of my favorite vendors at the <a href="http://www.farmersmarketarlington.org/vendors.html">Arlington Farmers Market</a> is <a href="http://www.mamadousartisanbakery.com/">Mamadou Bakery</a>. The Mamadou folks are absolutely lovely and the bread is incredible. My favorite creation: Cranberry walnut bread, peppered goat cheese, sliced apples and fresh arugula. Mmmmmm.<br />

A few more photos from my trip to lovely Portsmouth. I discovered so many great new spots, including the art and craft shop <a href="http://www.nahcotta.com/">Nahcotta</a>, the sweet little paper store <a href="http://gusandruby.com/">Gus and Ruby Letterpress</a>, tugboats, estate jewelry stores, the <a href="http://therotaryblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/portsmouth-baking-company.html">aforementioned bakery</a>, and so much more.<br />

Today has been not so great. A late late night of traveling set me up for a bit of a rough morning. My commute home taking over an hour and half (to travel SEVEN miles) took the wind out of my sails for the evening. <br />
<br />
Trying to conquer the grumpy, I infused a bit more happy into my life tonight by searching for some mood brightening photos. A splash of color always makes things better, right? <br />

Three days off over Labor day weekend meant there was time for a quick trip to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. My experiences with New Hampshire have been kind of spotty so far, some spots have been amazing some have been, well, less than amazing. I won't name any names here, cause every town gets a second chance, right? I am so grateful to locals <a href="http://twitter.com/madeinlowell">Liz</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/MBbyBrigid">Brigid</a>, and <a href="http://twitter.com/gather_here">Virginia</a> who recommended Portsmouth!<br />
<br />
One of my favorite spots was the <a href="http://portsmouthbakingcompany.com/">Portsmouth Baking Company.</a> I've developed an affinity for really good coffee & sandwich spots and the PBC did not disappoint. Delicious sandwiches on fresh crusty bread and great coffee from the local Arlington, MA (let's hear it for Arlington!) roastery, <a href="http://barismo.com/">Barismo</a>. All in a beautifully designed, clean and airy space. I'll surely be back to the PBC soon. Real soon.<br />

I am so excited (and a bit nervous!) to put my latest project, <a href="http://www.thetypology.com/">The Typology</a>, out into the world. It's something I've been working on for a while now and really has been a labor of love.<br />
<br />
A little bit more about the concept behind the project:<br />
<br />
By definition, a Typology is an assemblage based on a shared attribute. Working with artifact collections for the past ten years, I became interested in objects and art functioning as a group. How patterns, both visual and intellectual, resonate and are revealed within collections. <br />
<br />
Each Typology is a set of nine images, threaded together visually, conceptually or both. In observing those patterns, a new cohesive whole emerges.<br />
<br />
New typologies will be posted regularly. Follow along via <a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/thetypology">Twitter</a> or <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/The-Typology/120431108058165">Facebook</a>!The Rotaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11462235365050959030noreply@blogger.com0
