We initially became friends while attending Suffolk University a few (okay, like seven) years back. That Freshman year night that we met isstill in our heads so vividly: armed only with short skirts and fake IDs, our first outing was to a Moroccan hookah bar in Charlestown. It was evident from first puff: we both clearly had a penchant for the exciting, unique, and indulgent things in life.While a lot of time has passed since that initial adventure to Tangierino, that fact has never changed. Now, armed with real identification and (slightly) bigger bank accounts, our interest in food and travel has grown tenfold.
This blog was created to chronicle our mutual adventures, and those of our friends by way of guest contributors. While we will focus a lot (a LOT) on food, we will also be sharing our stories of travel, love, and fun. Of course, none of these themes are mutually exclusive, and you'll find plenty of overlap in our posts.
About Allie
Allie is the resident wireless guru and tech junkie. She manages account relations for a successful mobile content startup, can (maybe) fix your computer or build you a website, and (may or may not have)
named her iPad.
Allie is a self-proclaimed fat kid with a somewhat newfound culinary addiction. Now, a good two years into "learning to cook", Allie has yet to burn the place down, but has suffered her share of epic failures in the kitchen. As she begins to tackle
baking, it is safe to say she isn't out of the woods yet. Regardless, Allie tries often and aggressively in the kitchen, and most often succeeds with simple, fresh food and bold flavors. Or 2AM snacks.
Beyond her cooking style, Allie is a beer enthusiast (and a bit of a drunk). Her job requires a hefty amount of travel and chaos, and she will order pretty much anything if it comes off a menu titled "Bar Bites". She currently lives in Southie with her bearded boyfriend and teeny, tiny dog.
Tasha is an Executive Assistant to a group of investment bankers at a prominent financial institution in Downtown Boston. From booking travel to grabbing lunch to making presentations to organizing closing dinners, she considers herself the “New Emily” of her office (if you’ve never seen Devil Wears Prada then you won’t get this reference).
While not multitasking like a maniac, Tasha pursues her passions of working out and eating…not always in that order. In 2008, Tasha hired a personal trainer, lost almost 20 lbs, and got in the best shape of her life. This didn’t deter her from her love of food and she makes it a point to have 1-2 cheat days on the weekends where she can eat rich and delicious foods from some of Boston’s best restaurants.
Tasha’s newest passion is designing her new condo, which her and her boyfriend Philip have recently moved into. This is a big step for the couple of three years, as they have never lived together. Melding both of their tastes and styles will be a challenge, but they’re up for it…hopefully their bank accounts are too!
We hope you enjoy our blog!
