Busy Sunday

On Sunday, I was coordinating our Welcome Lunch for new people to the Vineyard. The food was burritos from Anna's Taqueria. I had half a steak burrito, but was too distracted talking to people to eat more. My favorite meal from Anna's is usually the quesadia, half chicken/half veggie. (Hint: tell them exactly which veggies you want!) Anna's awesome value which makes them one of Boston's perenial best-bangs-for-your-buck according to Zagat.

Saturday BBQ

Saturday night after the class, Ann and I debriefed for a couple hours... and then realized we were extremely hungry. We had a car on loan, so we headed to Arlington to get some downhome bbq at Blue Ribbon BBQ. We split the 1/2 Slab Platter with mashed potatoes and black-eyed corn. I was pleased that we were able to get a seat, as well as find easy parking in the Stop&Shop Supermarket across the street. Perfect end to the meal was the cornbread pudding - vanilla custard, maple syrup, and cornbread. What a yummy surprise!

Good Food Cafe

Lunch Saturday at the "Building the Multiethnic Church Class" was from Good Food Cafe. I had the filling, if a bit messy, Chicken Breast and Avocado with pesto, tomato and swiss. For refreshment, I enjoyed a  Cranberry Lime Polar Seltzer. I ended with a quite large chocolate chip cookie. I like Good Food Cafe. It is a local sandwich shop with a spacious interior where the owner Jim is always there and makes the catering deliveries himself. Bakun Approved!

Greek!

On Friday night and Saturday Ann and I participated in a workshop at our church on multiethnicity. It was a powerful time, but that's not the point of this post. Ann brought us dinner from our favorite local Greek restaurant, Greek Corner Restaurant. I had the fabulous Corner's Special Gyro: "ground beef and lamb seasoned with herbs and spices. Served in hot pita bread with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, parsley and cucumber yogurt sauce." I made it combo which included a Greek salad. Ann even surprised me with a Diet Coke. (sorry Mom, sometimes you need a little artificial sweetener!) 

Friday Morning Sugar & Fat Pick Me-Up

Being a Friday, I felt my co-workers and I needed an extra kick this frigid morning. I brought in a dozen donuts from Verna's Coffee and Donut Shop. My favorite is their honey dipped. Quite nice, but doesn't compare to Lyndell’s Bakery. Mmmmm... I could go for one of Lyndell's jelly filled donuts right now. Good thing for my health that Lyndell's is a trek from my place.

Eggplant Parm Panini

Enjoyed a great panini of the day from Pemberton Farms in Cambridge for lunch today. Nice scala bread, eggplant parm, and just a tad of homemade marinara sauce. I added fresh tomatoes and had it pressed. Quite yummy!

Welcome!

I finally decided to start a blog. The initial decision was on what to call it. Ann suggested "Hungry Bakun." As can be my far too common response to Ann's brilliant idea, I was skeptical. My mistake, now rectified with this new blog "Hungry Bakun."

The plan is to chronicle my food adventures, plus anything else that suits my fancy. Enjoy!
