Just Like Kramer
In addition to singing a made up song about bedtime to the tune of "Springtime For Hitler," we've taken to heating our pajamas in our dryer before sleeping. While I really do enjoy being surrounded by the warmth of my warm jammies, the warm effect lasts all of five seconds. Like Kramer on Seinfeld, now I'm a bit obsessed with wearing clothes right out of the dryer, perhaps some warm jeans on a cold winter's morn'.

Five Under Five
I spotted this tidbit in the latest issue of the Improper Bostonian, five appetizers/entrees for under five bucks at the bar in Bambara weekdays from 4-6pm. Bambara is located in the Hotel Marlowe over by the Cambridgeside Galleria. Particularly intriguing is their "b" burger: fresh baked brioche bun with caramelized onion baked right into the bread and truffled goat cheese. One of these days, I'm heading over there after class.
The Menu
Half-pound "b" burger $4.99
Mini steak frites $4.99
Reuben bites $4.99
Short rib nachos $4.99
Truffle frites $3.00
Onion rings $3.00

"Wha' Happened?"
I've been delinquent and thought I've never figure out what the phrase means, Steve would say that my blog has "jumped the shark." Wha' happened? School, that's wha' happened. Here's the update.
1. Adam and I checked out The Federalist for dinner on Friday to celebrate v-day. We enjoyed fancy mac & cheese, lobster bisque, beef wellington and brown butter dover sole. My favorite was the sole with fingerling potatoes/spinich and mushrooms. YUM! The melty chocolate cake was a nice end.
2. Last month, Wheezy was battling a bad cold and couldn't come out to Cambridge 1 for pizza with Jess and me when Jess was in town so Wheezy missed out on her fill off flatbread pizza. We enjoyed a tasty lunch on Saturday where we each had our usual...we're not big on "change." After lunch we meandered through Harvard Square on our usual "route." Black Ink, Urban Outfitters (where we simultaneously mock and covet the merchandise), Cross, Adidas, Bob Slate and Staples. We never miss Black Ink, Urban Outfitters, Cross and Bob Slate, but we did need binder clips (Staples) and Wheezy kindly educated me on sneakers (Adidas). She was wearing these cool old school sneakers, but of course I had no clue about the significance of her shoes.

Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
I made the Four Seasons Hotel lemon ricotta pancakes from this month's Boston magazine for breakfast this morning. The recipe called for one stick of butter, which didn't phase me since it served four. Halfway through cooking and after Adam had asked for seconds, I realized that Adam and I would be eating the entire batch which amounted to half a stick of butter each for breakfast and that was before we added in the ricotta cheese and eggs. I'm not usually shy about butter, but I had to stop eating the pancakes and instead, packed them up for Adam to take to work. They were delicious, but I don't think I'll be making those again. For a stick of butter, I might as well eat 40 Adam's favorite cookies for breakfast.
