Boston, MA 2014 - Great food! Elephant brunch! Friends! <3

Jameson and I enjoyed a stay at a Residence Inn in Worcester.
The next morning (afternoon rather) we found out that the train had arrived early for once!!!!!!
Perhaps it's because we were only about an hour away to begin with :P

We went grocery shopping, then went our separate ways. I went to Flour Bakery + Cafe to get lunch and reminisce about our last visit to Boston :) This time I got a roasted chicken sandwich with pureed avocado and jicama. I'd never had jicama before! It's sweet like an apple, but the texture is more like a water chestnut. Yum!

After eating half the sandwich I was full (they're big!). I wrapped up the other half for later, but a few blocks later encountered a homeless guy asking for food and gave it to him. I am blessed every hour of every day with a job, a place to live, and the means to feed myself.

Moving on, I re-located the honey store I'd visited last time. It's called Follow The Honey and they literally only sell honey and honey-related products. Their inventory was a little different than last time...they had a special Tupelo honey that never crystalizes and a weird African honey called Aseda that was kind of medicinal in flavor.


The chestnut honey that I'd bought last time was nowhere to be found, so I was glad I'd snatched it up two years ago. This time I settled on some Oaxacan raw that they had "on tap". It's a darker honey with a reddish tint, and the flavor was very different than other honeys I've had before...sort of fruit and caramel. It was worth getting a small jar!

After that I went home. Well, I played Ingress, THEN I went home :P
There are lots of things to blow up in Boston. *evil laugh*
