Boston, Friends and Borodinsky Bread

Our week is over here in Boston!
Big cities are fun to play. The crowd reactions are better :)

We arrived pretty early...on time, actually!
My friend LJ wanted to show me around, so we went walking down Massachusetts Avenue.
The train was parked right on the MIT campus. Parking in such a public location is rare...we're usually in some industrial wasteland :P

The rest of my week was spent thinking ahead to the end of this year's show.
I'm putting together a box of stuff to sell and/or give away, and beginning to pack and plan for the trip home.
I'm also trying to buy fewer perishable groceries in the hopes that I can defrost my freezer over the break.

At first I wasn't going to buy bread here, but waaaay back in the corner of the grocery was this little shelf full of bread from local Big Sky Bakery.
There was something called "Borodinsky" bread...it's a dark Russian rye with coriander.

(this is the picture from wikipedia, but it looks exactly like my loaf)

I've already had a slice, and it's spicy and moist and very rich (130 calories per slice!) and delicious.
I can't really describe what coriander tastes like...nutty and zesty, maybe? You should try it!
I'm not sure what you're supposed to eat with it, but I'll bet it'd be awesome with any kind of meat and especially with salmon. Also while researching this type of bread, I found out that stale rye is used to make Kvass, a traditional Eastern European drink. The More You Know!

Next up...Bridgeport, CT!
