Fat/Fun Fest



The title pretty much sums up our MLK holiday weekend in Boston, flitting from one food establishment to the next, to the next, ad nauseum, literally! Highlights: Modern Pastry ("Can I eat a cannoli for breakfast?" Yes! If it's from Modern, you can and should eat it whenever you can), Flour Bakery (pass me another homemade oreo), East Ocean City (jumbo deepfried prawns swimming in kewpie and candied walnuts.. mmm).

But some of the most satisfying food came from the Tsai Kitchen, where master baker PT and sous chef/kitchen annoyance JT went to work on 2 varieties of delectable biscotti. The cranberry almond biscotti was studded with spicy crystallized ginger, bottoms coated with white chocolate. The other was a brownie-like, rich chocolate walnut mini biscotti. Potential new items for sweetstuffcookies??
