So, Friday I went in for my verification blood test, as planned. I guess I'll find out this week some time whether I really do have a gluten allergy or not. While I'm all for being the rare exception, this time it just doesn't appeal to me. I'd rather be below the radar when it comes to medical things. Aimee and I also did our third day of jogging week 2 on Friday evening. I got home early in the ...

OK, I've been asked on a number of occasions since Saturday how I feel. Truth is I don't feel that much different, physically. The only noticeable thing is that my digestion seems faster, but I'll chalk that up to psychological. There is a behavioural difference, though. What I'm not sure about is whether that's the result of the liver cleanse or the master cleanse. That is this: I chew my food a lot more now, and as a consequence ...

Well, the lease at the old place was up on the 31st of last month. We were going to move in to this new complex that got built this summer. Unfortunately, the business practices of the management company left a bit to be desired (not least of which falls under deceptive business). Anyway, we found a place in Medford (which everyone tells me is actually pronounced Mefa), and moved in last week. Well, we moved in to the kitchen, anyway, ...

Heh, it's not a generic description, it's the actual name of the place. I went there this week for lunch with a friend of mine and with Aron and his lovely wife, Amy. Now before I get into my mini-review/ranking of the place, let me just say this. All this seeming obsession with food has got a purpose. And this post shows that purpose. More after the nitty gritty. (I should sell advertising in this space right here, ...

Ha, no Indian food update today (see Saturday's update for that). Yesterday, Josh, Renat, Anna (Renat's wife), and Aimee (my wife) got together for brunch/lunch at Veggie Planet in Harvard Square. What a fantastic place to eat. I mean really, the food is absolutely delish. Renat and my wife had the Brunch for Henry pizza. Anna and I each had the Homefry Tofu Scramble, and Josh had the Omelet of the Day. One word: yummy. ...

For those of you following along to this mini-series, we went to Udupi Bhavan in Lowell, MA (about 30 minutes from where we live). The sign outside just says Indian Grill so it's easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for (we didn't, but we were too hungry to argue about it). The summary: it's North Indian, but not an EveryOther (tm). Oh yes, Punjabi food and even some non-veg (which we didn't try), but ...

So, we have completely abandoned Masalaa Boston. We've not gone back since that first horrifying day, though I did call them this weekend to confirm what the status was. They have, apparently, reintroduced the three different dosas. The price remains decidedly unfriendly at 11.50 or so. Now the good news. We found out about two different places. We decided to try the farther one first" Chennai Woodlands. And man, oh, man, does that place rock the house. First off, ...

My wife and I have been in Boston now for about 16 months. In all that time, we've tried several Indian restaurants about the place. While we haven't gone out to Worcester, where we've heard of some good places, we've seen quite a few in the Boston metro and surrounding areas. Now, here's the thing. Most Indian restaraunts are just like every other Indian restaurant. You'll get your chicken tikka masala at a lunch buffet, etc etc, yada yada, nothing ...
