My Current Obsessions

I am beyond excited that today is Friday. Has this been the longest week ever for anybody else??

To help kick off this long-awaited Friday, I wanted to share the following three things with you - three things I am currently obsesssed with.

1.) Our juicer.

We received this little guy as a wedding gift, and we've seriously been obsessed with it ever since. To be honest, making our own fresh juice gets expensive if we make a batch everyday, so we've been making juice 3-4 days out of the week to save some money. But having fresh, healthy juice even a few days out of the week is such a delightful treat. One combination we're loving: apples, cucumbers, baby kale, ginger, and celery.

2.) Sarma.


Sister restaurant to Oleana and Sofra, Sarma is one fantastic edition to the family - and it's right here in Somerville! Z and I had dinner there last week with two of our friends, and we all fell in love with the food, libations, and decor. The Seven Layer Hummus (pictured above - $11), which is served with falafel crackers, was especially delicious (trust me). This is one restaurant worth the financial splurge.


Fall Surf n' Turf, minus the "turf."

OK, so Stonewall Kitchen is more of an ongoing obsession of mine. But I recently was invited to attend this cooking class at their Cooking School in York, Maine, as part of the media (the class was complimentary), so now my obsession is at an all-time high. If you've never been to their facilities in York, I highly suggest making the short 1+ hour trip there. The place is gorgeous, the store has samples galore, and there's even a cafe (which I have never been to...another reason to go back soon!). Oh, and the cooking class itself (like the last one I went to) was informative, interactive, and the end result was delicious. (Pictured above are some of the courses we observed being made, then got to eat).

What are you currently obsessed with?

  1. Well last night I discovered the bar menu at Estragon with dozens of fantastic Spanish and Basque tapas for only $1 or $3. So that could easily become an obsession. Their Spanish style beef slider was addictive.

    Another obsession this month is going to be Sinatra Saturdays at the sumptuous FREE jazz lounge at Aragosta. Of course, it won't be so free when I order a salumi board.

    1. Both of those sound great! I'll definitely have to check out the tapas at Estragon.

  2. You know how obsessed I am with Stonewall Kitchen, too! I went back a couple weeks ago and had an awesome class!

    Also, I've been DYING for a juicer. Forcing myself to wait until we get a house and I have more space for my zillions of appliances!

    1. Yes, a juicer is so fantastic to have! The one mentioned above is also a little smaller than some, so it doesn't take up too much space, thankfully.

  3. I seriously want to get over to Sarma. I can't believe how much great stuff opened over there after I moved! I'm obsessed with Luna chocolate chip cookie dough bars at the moment.

  5. I'm obsessed with herbal teas of all sorts lately. It's getting so cold, and they make a great treat throughout the day.
