photo post Boston Vegetarian Food Festival

  This weekend my boyfriend and I went to the Vegetarian Food Festival in Boston. My boyfriend is a strict vegetarian, I mostly am, but eat fish every once in awhile. I was amazed by the turnout. I think next year they need a bigger venue. Apparently they do this every year, so if you missed out this year, look for it next year. It's put on by the Boston Vegetarian Society. They were giving out lots of free samples and I got to try many things I had never tried before.

Hingham's Combat Zone

One antique selectman, the fave of many local snobs, has really outdone himself.  He has designated North Street as the new Combat Zone, a place for well-heeled drunks to congregate while discussing nanny-boffing and watching their wives wash down their Percosets with imported beer.  The selectman in question, Hingham's Fairy Godmother, has spearheaded many of Hingham's post-Greenbush disasters, such as the "beautification of Hingham Square".  He betrays his age in bad '50's design, i.e. the Quincy Shipyard-style sidewalks of cement and new brick. ( And the phallic granite marker stuck strangely out by the curb. Marking what, exactly?)  I guess this town is values its historic atmosphere so much that we need to dot the town committees with the Ancients. This is a town...click here to read more of this....
