La Bottega at the Maritime Hotel – Feast of the Seven Fishes

One of the perks of being part of the press?  Press events and press dinners, of course.  I was invited to a press dinner previewing the Feast of the Seven Fishes at La Bottega at the Maritime Hotel – a traditional Italian feast featuring why yes, seven courses of fish.  By the time this post goes up, the menu will no longer be offered (I write 99.9% of my posts in chronological order, and run on about a month-delay schedule) – just join in and see what I ate.  Love the bottles of water they placed on each table with [...]

Thanksgiving 2011

Stubborn is as stubborn does, yes? This year, unlike Thanksgivings past, I was not tasked with making the turkey for my family dinner.  But I’ll be damned if anything is going to stand between me and making my own turkey, even if means resorting to buying a 20+ lb. turkey and roasting it all for just me… along with all the trimmings.  Well, enough of them for a girl who lives alone with her teeny tiny dog that isn’t allowed people food… First up, sweet potato fries the way Aimee showed me in NC.  In fact, I used the sweet [...]

Robicelli’s – Ebinger, Pumpkin Pie, and Bourbon Caramel Apple

You all know I love Robicelli’s cupcakes.  Allison and I went to high school together, but even if we hadn’t, anyone who just eats one cupcake by her will know: these are the best cupcakes in the city.  On this occasion, I tried the Ebinger (the chocolate one), Pumpkin Pie (the bottom right), and Bourbon Caramel Apple (top).  Hands down I liked the chocolate one the best; though I’m not often a chocolate fan, I find that the Robicellis know what it means to go easy and not slam chocolate in your face, which means the chocolate flavor is fairly [...]

Supermarket Poke & Spam Musubi

One of my dearest friends – known to y’all on my blog simply as StB – recently got married in Maui, Hawaii. There was no way I was going to miss this for the world, so I took myself on a week long trip… read along as I share everything I ate on this incredible vacation!  I didn’t have too much time to find spam musubi, so I wandered through to Whaler’s General in the Shops at Wailea and picked up a piece for $2.  I think there was a little too much rice with a rather skimpy thin slice [...]

Vacation Week!

Because I’m such an awesome boss (actually, it was TT’s idea), the Feisty Foodie team will be taking a break from posting this week. Hope you all have a wonderful holiday and a happy new year – we’ll be back to our regular posting schedule on January 2, 2012! Love, the Feisty Foodie Family
