Vacation Eats: WIAW #39
I ate really good time in Boston this weekend. Healthy? Not so much, but tasty? Oh YEAH.
For WIAW this week, these are my eats from Sunday. And if you want to find other good eats, visit Jen’s blog today!
8am. Wake up. Hungry and eat a pure bar. Didn’t photograph it, but here’s a pic from another post
8: 30am: Stop for coffee (regular with soy) to sip on our 3 mile walk around the harbor in Boston- beautiful. Weird fact– the tall Sbucks coffees in Boston are 25cents more expensive than SF! crazy, right?
12noon: Pancake feast! We bought an apple-cinammon pancake mix at the farm on Saturday and made pancakes…with real New Hampshire maple syrup. Such a treat.
5pm: Early dinner (or really late lunch?) We went to Ponza, a really yummy Italian restaurant in the North End. I ordered chicken marsala. Yum.
7pm: Pouring rain outside. A cup of hot tea. Ate one of our freshly picked apples while we were making the apple pie. Yep, still taste 100x better than store bought.
8:30pm: A slice of our oh my goodness apple pie straight out of the oven. DELICIOUS. Here’s the recipe. Seriously, make this. I’m not joking.
And after that, I was full of sugar and carbs and all yummy stuff. Clearly I need veggies this week.
Ok, your turn!
–What’d you eat today?
–How much does a tall Starbucks coffee cost near you? (or nonstarbucks coffee)
–Do you get jet lagged easily? I wasn’t this time, surprised myself.
Do you eat an apple a day? I used to, but don’t eat as many these days

I don’t have the slightest idea how much a tall starbucks coffee around here costs.
Oh my goodness yes. It took me forever to adjust to the time different here in Kuwait
Yup, usually 2

Theresa @ aspoonfulofsunshine
October 10, 2012 at 12:21 am (226 days ago)I definitely eat and apple (or two) a day but I am sure they are nothing compared to your hand-picked one!
Rebecca
October 10, 2012 at 8:49 am (226 days ago)Yep! Event he farmers market ones aren’t as good
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance
October 10, 2012 at 2:12 am (226 days ago)Looks like fun in Boston! I totally eat an apple every. single. day. I love them! Sometimes I’ll have two.
Rebecca
October 10, 2012 at 8:48 am (226 days ago)I ate two on the plane Monday night…one just wasn’t enough!
Melissa
October 10, 2012 at 3:17 am (226 days ago)Weird! I thought they had standard prices lol. It’s 2-something for a tall but I usually order a double tall skinny vanilla latte which is 3.79 if they’re nice and don’t charge me for the extra shot or 4.38 if they do lol! I don’t pay too much attention to the food when I’m away and just like to enjoy myself like you did…it’s nice to splurge now and then!

October 10, 2012 at 8:48 am (226 days ago)It’s only $1.65 for a small here, so that’s a big difference where you are too!
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count
October 10, 2012 at 3:55 am (226 days ago)Everything looks yummy…looks like a fun weekend!
Rebecca
October 10, 2012 at 8:47 am (226 days ago)Thanks!

October 10, 2012 at 5:12 am (226 days ago)Looks like you had a great time in Boston. Hope you had a lot of fun!!
That apple pie looks awesome. Apple pie is one of my favorite holiday desserts. I’m going to need to pull out my grandmother’s recipe and rework a few things. But no matter what I am going to get a slice of apple pie! Haha.
Apples and Arteries
October 10, 2012 at 5:20 am (226 days ago)Of course I eat an apple (or 3!) a day.
Rebecca

October 12, 2012 at 4:45 am (224 days ago)That’s only during the season when I can get the huge honeycrisps from the local orchard!

October 10, 2012 at 5:37 am (226 days ago)Looks like fun! The pancakes sound amazing!
Rebecca
October 10, 2012 at 8:46 am (226 days ago)They were the best I’ve had in ages!
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie
October 10, 2012 at 6:48 am (226 days ago)Fresh picked apples in apple pie? Sounds amazing! And anything involving a pancake fest is perfect
Rebecca
October 10, 2012 at 8:46 am (226 days ago)Agreed- I don’t have enough pancake feasts in my life
Alex @ therunwithin
October 10, 2012 at 7:13 am (226 days ago)your own picked apples always taste the best, right?
Rebecca
October 10, 2012 at 8:46 am (226 days ago)yes- such a difference in flavor!
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets
October 10, 2012 at 8:13 am (226 days ago)Apples direct from the farm are always the best. I love the flowers with your pancakes, and the photo of the city in the background and your coffee in the foreground was money. All in all, sounds like a delicious weekend.

October 10, 2012 at 8:47 am (226 days ago)I am going through an apple phase and eating at least one a day. I get jet lagged pretty easily these days so like to make sure I’m hope by dinner so I can have a normal evening routine after vacay.

October 10, 2012 at 8:50 am (226 days ago)Love your shots of Boston! The North End…SO good. I miss going to those Italian restaurants around there. I think our Starbucks in Chicago is on par with SF.
Tara@Sugar Spice and Bacon
October 10, 2012 at 9:44 am (225 days ago)So obsessed with apples right now! That pie looks amazing!
k @ finding a skinnier me

October 10, 2012 at 10:34 am (225 days ago)Hope you enjoyed your time in Boston! Its a fun city
And nothing beats pure maple syrup!
Claire @ Let's Go On A Living Spree
October 10, 2012 at 11:28 am (225 days ago)This makes me want a stack of pancakes so badly right now. Guess it’ll have to be breakfast for dinner!
Hmm, a tall Starbucks? It costs just over $2. Too expensive if you ask me!
Natalie @ Free Range Human
October 10, 2012 at 11:56 am (225 days ago)I eat two apples everyday! I kind of have a thing for them
AnnaTheApple
October 10, 2012 at 12:04 pm (225 days ago)I literally eat like three apples a day. They’re my I obsession and safety food hehe. I’ve never been to an apple orchard though. Guess I need that on my bucket list!
Jen@HealthyFoodandFamily
October 10, 2012 at 1:41 pm (225 days ago)OMG. That apple pie…YES,PLEASE!
Kailey
October 10, 2012 at 2:53 pm (225 days ago)sounds like you are enjoying your delicious apples!!
The pancakes look to die for!
Rebecca
October 11, 2012 at 9:27 am (224 days ago)I’m loving the apples– I have 4 more left and will be so sad when they’re gone

October 10, 2012 at 8:37 pm (225 days ago)I just caught up on all of your blog posts that I have been missing. Loved catching up. For some reason I couldn’t see any pictures from the last few posts but my internet has been crap so I’m sure its me. Anyway, just wanted to say I’ve missed you and am looking forward to read and comment on a more regular basis.
Rebecca
October 11, 2012 at 9:26 am (224 days ago)oh, hmmm….i’m glad you said that about the pics– I’ll look into it! Glad you’re back and life is a little less crazy!

Rebecca
October 11, 2012 at 9:26 am (224 days ago)They were definitely the best I’ve had all year!
Sara @my less serious life
October 11, 2012 at 3:56 am (225 days ago)omg i NEED to make apple pie.
Dana @ Conscious Kitchen Blog
October 11, 2012 at 10:32 am (224 days ago)I usually eat an apple with my lunch (at least during the week), so I guess I’m sort of an apple a day. However, I’d much rather eat them in pie form — the picture looks so delicious. I want a piece right now!
Stacie @ Snaps and Bits
October 11, 2012 at 11:49 am (224 days ago)Oh my, that pie looks divine (I don’t say that word, usually, but that’s what popped into my head)!
Brittany
October 11, 2012 at 12:21 pm (224 days ago)I want to go to Boston sososooo bad!! I don’t eat enough apples, but I make up for that with leafy greens.
