[mis-tif-fee] - n - 1. tall weird asian girl with a huge appetite and love for food, travel, adventure and fashion.... and she's hungry, always hungry... eating the world in 6in heels... taking her adventures around the world! ...
After a super fun day in Fanueil Hall Downtown Boston…. beers and tons of shopping galore
Yep even changed my outfit part way thru
Headed over to Newbury St. for some delicious eats… at Sonsie’s.. one of my fav places
Mojito..
Pork belly Tacos <3
SOOO GOOOOD
Frites <3
And of course, my favorite, Cheeseburger Pizza
I could eat this every day!!!
Since we were already toasted… we didn’t have to get any drinks.. and we already bought stuff at the store the day before so we didn’t have to wait in line. We got in and basically ended up front/second row in GA standing room. Everyone there was WASTED!!!!!! It was SUCH an amazing show. Britney you are forever a queen.
For more videos go to my youtube Britney playlist. And for more pics visit my facebook public Britney album.
After the craziness and being stuck in the venue, Axis, for ages… we finally got out to see about a 2 hour wait for a taxi… thankfully some guys let us cut in line and we only had to wait 10 min….
Saw this sick car in line
“So if you’re from Boston, do you drink Tea a lot?”
They were cool guys tho, these were the two we talked to the most – we ended up both parties going to Light Nightclub.
“Fuck you Raj!” – Kelly
And we had the time of our lives….. Light is amazing. It’s a Cirque du Soleil themed club.. so we saw acrobats and crazy shizz there. We ended up going back to the hotel.. and ordering more booze, pizza and onion rings.. which I don’t remember devouring until I was confused the next day and seeing the food and pizza box.
Me+Room Service = Danger Zone, remember?!
Life has been super hectic and busy, but I thought I’d post a slightly late but still kinda recent food adventure before a personal post :] This is first and foremost a food blog right?
So last month I finally had the chance to eat at alta strada in Wellesley. It’s so close yet I never had the chance to go.
I even broke out the nice Vera Wang stems
Of course I started off with a nice Italian red…
They gave us a beautiful slab of delicious bread.. EVOO, S&P and I asked for some Balsamic Vinegar as well :]
COULD NOT STOP EATING THIS BREAD. The crust was perfection.
We ordered three AntiPasti [basically Italian Tapas]
Chilled Calamari with Cucumber and Citrus [top]
Marinated White Anchovies with Frisee [botom]
I looove anchovies.. the frisee totally helped balance out the saltiness of the fish… MMMM….. The calamari almost felt like a ceviche… and the squid was cut into noodles… It was good, vinegary but nothing out of this world.
And of course Roasted [Golden] Beets with Grana Padano
I actually wanted more but the waiter said that for two people this was far more than enough. And he was right, I expected smaller dishes but these were HUGE.
And then split a pizza…
Prosciutto and Arugula
I asked for an egg in the middle, you know the pizzas that come out like this:
But I guess they just had no clue.. even tho I just asked for ONE gooey egg in the middle… they gave me chopped eggs all over the pizza… Kinda disappointing but it was still delicious.
And for dessert, even though we were super full, we got the Mascarpone Cheesecake; Lemon Curd, Vanilla Tuille
Light fluffy and a perfect sweet ending to an amazing dinner.
My trips to NYC has been inspiring me to cook more lately. I’ve been able to experiment more and more with different foods. I’m sure I’ve mentioned some of these from previous trips:
The dangerous habanero chicken pizza… which was delicious but deadly.
My famous meatballs…
My Short Ribs over Mushrooms and Chard
But here are some more recent things I’ve made in NYC
OK this isn’t really “made” but J and I decided to have a simple wine, cheese and meats night…. with steamed artichokes and baked Yam fries..
Iberico, Chorizo, Duck Salumi and Coppa
So many cheeses…
Half of these are chili/cinnamon rubbed, the other half are truffle butter rubbed..
And then the next night I made a warm grilled brussel sprouts salad with different peppers and veggies… topped with habanero vindaloo chicken…
And some Kale Chips and Fresh Avocado
STOP BEING USELESS
AND START BEING A CHEESEBURGER
So these were the peppers…
That cause me to split my finger open…
and go to the ER :[ WAAA
And then the day before Miami.. uh… night before, we had a a dinner party
I forgot to take pics of the panko pan fried quail I made [marinated in Honey , Orange, Habanero] which each person got a whole quail, cut in half on top of mixed greens as an App]
and I made Duck Breast “Confit style”
Jonathan brought Capri Sun BEER!!!!!!! <3
Oh back to the duck… slow cooked for like 2-3 hours… and then popped into oven with some balsamic vinegar, red wine, pear, raspberries, shallots and fig jam,
See… demolished the salad already… I served with truffled broccolini and mushrooms and baked chili/cinnamon yam fries.
And then the night after we got back from Miami I made bunny curry. YES. Rabbit Curry. And it was actually NOT overpowering on the bunny as some people said it would be. You could taste the bunny cuz I left them in big chunks…the legs were kept whole, etc….. just celery, carrots, potatoes, yams, onions, a whole rabbit [I butchered a rabbit for the first time] 
Some steamed okra on the side…
And then I put it all on a bed of mixed greens, freshly made sushi rice, topped off with rabbit meat and curry sauce. DELISH!
OK, now that we’re caught up on that I feel a bit better and will continue onto more NYC eats and Miami posts.
No need for words. Just pictures. And happiness….
Meh Bloody Mary
Food Coma? Or thinking about Coffee….
Kaffe 1668 that is…
Which I like to call Sheepy Coffee…
We ended up making pizza before I left…
And we used the leftovers again on the next trip…
… we had leftovers of pizza dough from the last time I was in town so after getting some fresh vegetables at a local market in Brooklyn.. [after J’s weekly Bocce game]
so after tons of crap beer and a delicious brunch at Colonie before the game [which I’ll blog about later] we set out to make another pizza… and Tuscan Kale chips [the non-curly kind]
Kale chips, successful. Just EVOO and sea salt baked in a tray til almost burnt and crisp.
[sorry no picture]
The pizza was another story. Successful, but the best worst idea.
Stroke stroke stroke
I took the biggest habanero and minced it up with a few garlic cloves… chopped up a chicken breast and threw it in a skillet.
Within a few minutes.. I know how to make pepper bombs. J was just asking me what wine to drink when he started coughing and I started gagging.
“On the floor the air is fresher” no it wasn’t.
We opened his giant window in his living room and screamed out the window. We opened his apt door and ran screaming into the hallway gagging.
Half hour later when we were ready to assemble the pizza, his roommate and roommate’s gf came home saying they were gagging off the elevator hahahaha… we said it wasn’t even that bad anymore.
So much pain, but so much to gain.
Super spicy habanero garlic chicken [oh we also diced in a thai chili pepper, green one for color] on a Margherita pizza on whole wheat crust.
Worth it.
Oh and we ended up finding a good wine to go with the pizza :]
Decided I wanted pizza so me W and L headed down to the Mellow Mushroom for some pizza….
A delicious salad. I LOVEEEE Alfalfa
All wee delicious except for my weird hawaiian pizza on the bottom right that made me sad and we didn’t eat it. The top was the best.. L’s gluten-free pizza YUM
A delicious beer, DUH
And for dessert we got from froyo — Thanks L for the yogurt <3
After Brunch, I went shopping with J and W went home to rest a bit. After a fun relaxing afternoon, we headed over to Graffiato to W’s buddy’s book signing at Graffiato. You might know him.. Top Chef Mike Isabella. The booze were flowing and the snacks were a-coming. Even saw a quick glimpse of other Top Chef Bryan Voltaggio.
Hahaha YESSS.. I’m a “celebrity tweeter” ;]
After a super fun party W and I decided to sit down and eat there. I’ve never ever had a bad meal at Graffiato. SO FREAKING GOOD. We ordered a few things and we got surprised with a few items as well.
Crudo
Light, fresh and perfection. A perfect way to start a meal.
Pig’s Head.
As soon as I saw this on the meats&cheeses part of the menu, I KNEW I had to have it. DIVINE. Fennel, apple, SOOOOOO good. Thinly sliced and pure scrumptious. I like the bit of cartilage from the ear in it. NOM.
Burrata with asian pear, walnut, & pickled cauliflower
My MUST get here. W already knows so he doesn’t even have to ask and I don’t need to say and he knows I want it. I love it when a man knows exactly what you want to eat without asking. He never gets me wrong.
Crispy Veal Sweetbreads with Fried Green Tomatoes and Coffee Aioli
Who would’ve thought a coffee aioli would be good. It was SOOO good.. light coffee flavor.. creamy.. paired SO well with the tender crisp fried sweetbreads. BUT. I must say, the star of the show was the fried green tomatoes!!! W and I were digging for them. SOOOOO good.
W’s must get: Roasted Cauliflower with pecorino, mint
Delicious, per usual. We both adore Cauliflower.
Sweet Corn Agnolotti with Pinenuts
I forgot what the other stuff was. Olive? Not sure. But these were tender and pillowy. YUM. The creamy innards were bursting with sweet corn flavor.
We always get the Porky’s Revenge so I wanted to try another one.
Countryman Pizza with black truffle, fontina, farmed soft egg
Sexy Egg… our waiter popped it and spread it for us, but I secretly wished I did it instead haha…
Although it was just truffle oil, it was delicious. BUT… I think Porky’s is still my favorite… still need to try some others. HEE HEE. But I love my pig.
Charred Octopus with potato, black garlic, olives
Another dish we always get. It’s SO tender and delicious. YUM.
Crispy Lamb with yogurt, cucumber, tapenade
You guys know I’m not a huge fan of lamb but W loves this. NOM NOM NOM.
Complimentary Desserts from the Book Signing Party before.. SOOOO GOOOOD
Nutella Pudding and Tri-Color Italian Cookies
SOOO GOOD.. and the nutella.. OH MAN, I licked the shot glass cleeeean!!!! And I may have kept the cute little spoon ;]
SHHHH
I don’t remember why I was doing this and why W took this pic of me. But apparently I was NOT amused.
W is finally out of Detroit WOOHOO. We planned it so that we both got in around the same time in DC and headed straight to Costco for some PIZZAAAAAAA – we’re both starved.. so we need a lot of food in us….
A whole large pepperoni pizza please…
I would like some pizza with my chili pepper flakes. K, thanks. And then right after? We took the longest nap, EVER. We woke up just in time for dinner though :] Homemade tacos a la Mama W <3
I see you W :D
She made a yummy minced beef, mexican spiced meat.. and we filled crunchy tortilla shells with the meat, lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheddar and salsa… [no sour cream for me please]
We had a lot…
We took back the leftover shells and meat and a few days later we made a yummy Nachos plate in the middle of the night hahahaha :]
I headed into DC early the other day, W was back for a few days so obviously I was gonna visit. Squish face. Why? Freaking HANGRY. I woke up super early, got into the airport early and had the most LONG WAIT in the “more speed” line and “bag drop” line ever. I barely had time to pee… but then PLANE WAS DELAYED. PER USUAL. Nothing in my belly and no sense of how long the delay was – I was cranky… and hangry…
Thankfully I ended up having time to buy a salad…. which reminded me of Detroit. RIP Wolfgang Puck resto at the MGM in Detroit HA HA.
Soon after we got there, W and his mama picked me up and after debating over where to eat lunch we headed to Costco to buy some things and to get food…
I found a shed and ME being ME I opened it and found bears. I wanna take them home and cuddle with them, they’re huge. I also ended up inside the shed, closed, and staring at people outside the window holding a giant bear. I RULE. Poor bf thinks I’m CRAJEEEE…
We got Berry Froyos and Pepperoni Pizza. YUM!
And when we got back to W’s parents’ house we swapped bday gifts!!!
MINE
W got me Gold Snakeprint Alexander McQueen heels with a heart cut out and a beautiful gold ring!
I got baby a SEXY Burberry watch… no pic of it here, just him opening the box :] TEEHEE
SHOES <3
LOVE! I can’t wear them til my Birthday trip in Vegas tho.. I promised him.
:D Pretty Furbabies
Chigga what?
And after some QT with his mama at the grocery store we came home with groceries and we popped open some delicious Chilean wine and made spaghetti.
CARB OVERLOAD, I passed out EASILY that night watching MasterChef with W….
Next morning…
Mac & Cheese MAC MAC MAC & Cheese… I already inhaled W’s mama’s homemade fresh Fried Chicken Thighs HAHAHA.. OOPS
