Fisher,one of my favorite foodies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.F.K._Fisher There's a wonderful essay titled, "Borderland," that can be found in her books, The Art of Eating and Serve It Forth. It mercifully short for those of us long on attention for tinkering with digi-pics and short on attention for readings recommended by others. Unfortunately, I have never found the essay published online, but the books are wonderfully nostaglic, and Fisher wrote lovingly about food. Anyway, there was something about the way you ultimately expressed your pleasure in the oatmeal cookies that made me think you'd like Fisher's essay if you took it for a spin. Twisty,

I mean what is New England known for? That's right, <b>boiled dinner</b> and <b>clam chowder</b>. Which isn't allowed to have anything even so colorful as a tomato near it and where you're supposed to use <i>white</i> pepper because the black is too much! I had a friend from New Orleans make jambalaya for a bunch of us once. I remember her saying, "I didn't put hardly <i>any</i> spices in it". It took an act of will of almost religious proportions to keep my head from exploding. Somewhere in the history of New England the locals have lost the gene for spice-tolerance. On another note, sure are a lot of Bostonites here today. I used to live up there, but country mouse me couldn't take it for too long and I had to get back down here to the somewhat-more-rural southern Mass.

I'll attempt a photo mission there and share, should the results warrant. -finn The men’s room at the HiPointe in StL is actually probably a lo pointe for toilets everywhere, though the graffiti is, shall we say, robust.

Also - The Red Rose on Middlesex - yummy Cambodian food. Man, I miss Massachusetts... moved to NY two years ago and it still doesn't feel like home here.

I might have a warped idea since the best bike commuter routes from my neck of the woods (1.5 miles from Tufts University) snake their way through those areas. I used to live in Littleton when I first married and had honeymooned in the Bay Area - so passing four to six tacqueria en route home via bike is improvement most vast. Forgive me if I overrate it. Then Boca Grande opened, and the taco carts downtown showed up shortly after. Of course it is all the nicer that Anna's is a fifteen minute bike ride away. I can live with that. Thanks for the tip, Roozen. I'm only working in Lowell for a month more, so I'll check it out. If I take the train that gets in around 11am, the smells in that city are amazing.
