I had a nice day hanging out with my Mom. After our 60 min massage at Balance Health, a spa in Downtown Crossing area, we went to Cambridge and walked around and shopped and I got to take her to a few of my favorite spots. Nothing earth shattering, just at latte (unfortunately rather luke warm) at Crema Cafe with a little canneles (the only cafe I've ever seen them at..I've only read about these little pastries via food blogs). It's caramelized on the outside and custardy and pudding-ish on the inside with a yummy lemon basil syrup glaze. As you can see, we're both obsessed with reading about the '96 Everest disaster and are both reading diff copies of the same book (one is the one we own, the other is a library copy haha).
a closer look:
After walking around for a while, I took her to Burdick's for its famous hot chocolate. I always order 1 or 2 macarons when I come here. Pictured below is a minty green pistachio and pale buff colored ginger mac. The pistachio one had really good flavor and a nice chew in the middle.
Ta da!
Then we came home and ate chicken noodle soup with pork, black woodear mushrooms, bok choy, and my mom's homemade whole wheat noodles while watching Life is Beautiful. Then we had lotus seed with egg yolk and black bean mooncake with jasmine green tea.
Tomorrow, apple picking!
