Recently, talking about strawberry shortcake, Esther pointed me to Martha’s. I’ve written about Martha’s a few times; while I don’t like their cupcakes all that much, my best friend loves them… my boyfriend likes their fruit tarts quite a bit and I love their cookies. So when Esther told me that their strawberry shortcake is really good, I headed over and snagged a slice. Doesn’t it look GOOD?Esther had mentioned the use of strawberry preserves, and I was eager for that. Unfortunately, as I’d been given the very pretty end slice, there was way more whipped cream at one end [...]

As I mentioned before, I returned to Press 195 after my last review posted because I started craving those frites. I decided to get the lunch special again, but couldn’t resist adding soup (again) when I found out the daily soup was New England clam chowder, which I adore. I am super picky about clam chowder because I make a bangin’ rendition on my own. This was really delicious. Not too thick nor thin, with shredded bits of clam (don’t know why, but it worked), and bits of bacon in the background… I happily gobbled this all, and barely used [...]

What’s more wonderful is that a lot of these people have no idea how food-obsessed I’ve become, and sometimes, they post random updates on their statuses that make me respond OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT AND WHERE DID YOU GET THAT I WANT TO EAT SOME – such happened almost a year ago with a friend with whom I attended SUNY Albany 10 years ago. He was surprised I was so into the food – BBQ, hello! – and gave me [...]

The last “sort of” monthly meeting with my BFF found us at Press 195… the story goes, I was anxious to show off my new car to her, so she parked her car in my spot and off we went to have sushi on Bell Boulevard (a place HB recommended to me)… except that spot was closed! so we went to Press 195 next door, where BFF had been a few times in the past. We were celebrating Ms. Resident of the Month two months running Frites were on the menu, and frites were ordered. This is the ‘small’ size, [...]
