Amazing post Christine!! You make me miss TO! So good to meet you and I’m excited to try the list of Boston recos. I need to give you a list of Toronto restos to check out next time! So glad you went to Motimahal, it’s the McDonald’s of Indian restaurants.

Comment on John Dory Oyster Bar at Island Creek Oyster Festival 2011 by cmliu

Welcome back to Boston! The fest is a blast, but lucky for everyone, the oyster fest is an annual thing. The beach is beautiful year-round, however… if you haven’t already, take a day-trip to Duxbury and check out where the oysters are born. Let me know if you want to slurp oysters in the city sometime.

After moving back to the Boston area two weeks ago after several years “abroad” in San Francisco, I found myself at Island Creek Oyster for the first time (ever). Holy littleneck! We had oysters, steamers, fried clams, and lobster rolls. Now I’m kicking myself for missing this Oyst-ravaganza.

i’ve been once… verrrrrry briefly. but j’adore canada, so yes — vancouver (dim-sum overload) at some point soon, too! maybe coupled with a big northwestern to-do including portland, seattle, and a dip into the pacific.

another nose-to-the-ground phenomenon we discovered that i failed to mention in the post: canada manages to make new england's candlepin bowling look downright regal with their strange transmuted sport of 5-pin bowling. (reread that.) we managed to pass shamrock bowl ("the oldest and largest 5-pin bowling alley that still remains in toronto, the city in which this popular team building activity was invented!") and danforth bowl (click the link and say hi to sandy).

the market is super fun. and we didn’t even get to fully explore all the other vendors, who were set up *outside* all around the building. by the by, that email is legit — but what really took some effort post-production (so to speak) was all of the hyperlinking :) let me know if you end up trekking to the city! you’d absolutely love it.

update! apparently toronto is on some sort of glamour-fancy list of cities that i just discovered today. http://societeperrier.com (via http://www.coolhunting.com/culture/societe-perrier.php) – somehow they manage to put toronto above new york? perhaps it’s just the insistence on the french. (full list: toronto, new york, london, los angeles, montreal, moscow, mexico city, miami)

Comment on shoulder-high snow peas by Patrick Gabridge

Hi Christine,

Very glad that you’re going to be involved with the garden and that you’re helping spread the word. Don’t give up on looking for those snow peas–they keep on growing. At our work day on the 21st, we picked more than half a pound of them. We’ll have another work day on July 5, and at that point will start taking out some of the pea vines–they don’t like the heat and we need to make room for the cucumbers.
