Best of Boston
My 15yo son and I will be visiting downtown Boston next week. We are interested in sampling so of the restaurants and other food places that you local hounds are proud that it's in your city. Some of the places we would like to sample are pizza restaurants and joints (warning--I lived in NYC for many years and consider myself a pizza maven), ice cream places, burger restaurants, and anything else that you really like.(fish, red sauce Italian, etc.) We would prefer to stay away from the tourist places. Healthy is a plus.
I just saw that a similar post was listed--"Best of Boston-An Experiment" I'm going to be monitoring that post. But if you can list here any places that don't fall within hamburgers, pizza and lobster rolls, I'd appreciate it.
If you're used to New York pizza, note well that you may or may not be impressed with Boston's version. The best spots to give pizza a whirl here would be Pizzeria Regina (the original only, on Thacher Street in the North End) or Santarpio's in East Boston.
For ice cream, your best non-suburban bets would be Toscanini's (Central Square in Cambridge), Herrell's (Harvard Square in Cambridge or Allston), Emack and Bolio's (several locs, including one in downtown Boston on Newbury Street), and Picco (Boston's South End -- they also have decent if not top grade pizza).
For burgers, two good spots to try are Mr. & Mrs. Bartley's (Harvard Square in Cambridge), and O'Sullivan's (Somerville, not far from Cambridge's Porter Square).
Note well that I'm not sure anyone on this board will equate any of these places with "healthy," however. That's a different animal from burgers, pizza, and ice cream.
I'd also recommend doing a site search for other Boston/Cambridge possibilities in these categories or for other cuisines.
re: bachslunch
backslunch--by healthy hamburgers, I mean meat that is ground in the restaurant and has minimal salt and fillers; pizza where the sauce is freshly made and good quality cheese; ice cream, my mistake--I'm sure that if it is labeled healthy, I won't like it.
re: jayjay
I think the pizza and burger places above will all qualify as "healthy" by this specific definition. And yup, let me know if you find any healthy ice cream that's really good.
re: bachslunch
FWIW, I find the non-fat soft serve at JP Licks to be pretty dang good. I'm not a big ice cream fan, so I like that it's not so heavy. They will also make it into a non-fat frappe using fat free milk - a nice treat during the summer when I don't want a calorie-bomb after the gym.
'Course, a malted vanilla ice cream topped with hot fudge from Christina's is my other favorite, so go figure.
re: bachslunch
Richardson's Dairy has lowfat frozen yogurt that even a diehard healthfood-hating acquaintance of mine couldn't tell the difference (I took the label off - he never knew). I know there are a lot of places around that sell it besides their own stands in Middleton and Reading - others might be able to help locate a Boston retailer selling Richardson's.
re: bakemeacake
I've tried Christina's and J.P. Licks several times, and while they would likely be the best in many cities, I don't think they are in Boston/Cambridge. Both spots have supporters on this board, but I think they come up short in richness (body, mouth feel, creaminess) and flavor (immediacy, trueness) compared to Toscanini's, Picco, Herrell's, and Emack & Bolio's.
re: bachslunch
JP licks: meh, I'd rather eat Ben and Jerry's (at least the Davis outlet, I haven't tried the original).
Christina's, on the other hand is right up there with the best of them (Toscanini's IMHO), especially for fruit flavors. I think you're right that they're a little less rich and creamy which is a liability for for some flavors, but not such a problem for fruits. On the other hand, I find their flavors quite intense and "true". They also often have unusual flavors like avocado or sweet corn which are worth a try.
Mmm, a double scoop, chocolate and mango...
Well, if you like NY-style pizza, eat pizza in NY (not trying to be mean, but why would anyone come to Boston for NY pizza? It always amazes me). If you just like good pizza, all the greats are listed on that other Best of Boston post. Regina's is my personal fav, but for a twist, try the Alsatian at Picco. Certainly not NY-style, but amazing.
My personal fav ice cream is Herrell's malted vanilla, but Boston is an ice cream mecca. Do a site search.
For a great burger (if you're willing to slum-it a little) go to The Cantab. The cook there is formerly of the late Tim's Tavern, the greatest burger joint ever.
For Italian? I'd again suggest a site search. The options are incredibly numerous. My favs are Mamma Maria, Terramia, Taranta, Sorellina...but there are many more delicious choices.
For pizza there is only one choice. Santarpios. It's in East Boston. If you go through the Callaghan Tunnell as if you are headed to airport, take your very first exit after leaving the tunnel and it's right there, can't miss it.
If you feel like it is NOT the best pizza you have ever had, ever, ever, then let me know on this board and I will personally reimburse you.
Note: I have zero affiliation with Santarpios, other than being thankful such a place exists.
Additional Note: My ex-girlfriend's family was from italy. Her grandpa would spend all day picking tomatoes from his garden to make his own pizza for dinner. All day. In the event that his vegetables weren't perfectly ripe, we'd go to Santarpios. It was the only pie he'd eat other than his own.
re: jdc_boston
Although it's real good, you may want to keep your wallet handy. Good pizza can be found everywhere in NYC. Santarpios would be considered just another decent place to get two slices and a coke in New York.
re: steve999
I just don't get this. Boston pizza isn't the same kind as NY pizza. Why even compare them? If you want NY pizza, go to NY and eat pizza. I mean, it's fine to say, "I personally prefer the taste and consistency of NY pizza to Boston's." What I don't get is when people say, "you can't get NY pizza in Boston." No s--t, Sherlock. Boston's not a borough of NY (thank God).
For instance, an Alsatian at Picco isn't anything like a Patsy's or a John's pizza. But it's still amazingly good.
But even if you do compare the two citiy's pies, your line above is simply not true. Or do you REALLY believe that a slice of Famous Ray's is better than Santarpio's or Regina's?
In any case, for pure tasty goodness regardless of "style," New Haven has both cities beat all to hell.
re: Bostonbob3
"But even if you do compare the two citiy's pies, your line above is simply not true. Or do you REALLY believe that a slice of Famous Ray's is better than Santarpio's or Regina's?"
Not sure if that was for me, but I wasn't comparing any cities pizza, just made a comment that Santarpio's isn't the best thing ever, as far as pizza goes. There are lots of other places to get a decent slice regardless of the type. Never been to Ray's, but plenty of other places. Difference is there's lots of places like Santarpio's in NYC. And yes, there's bad pizza in NYC, just like there's bad seafood in NE.
Pizza for me growing up in upstate NY was always a thin, crispy crust with sauce, cheese, and possibly pepperoni or sausage. The slices were so good, you didn't need toppings, but you did need a bunch of napkins.
re: steve999
I think that Santarpio's more or less sucks, but I'm no NY snob. I think that Regina compares favorably with any of NY's best.
And yes, there is a TON of HORRIBLE pizza in Manhattan.
re: steve999
New York is such a totally different scale -- very, very bad pizza can also be found everywhere there. I agree - the top spots in New Haven are better to me than anything I've ever had in NYC.
To keep this thread relevant to Boston, my pizza favs (for different reasons) are: Il Panino, Armandos, and Emma's in Cambridge, Za in Arlington, and Pizzeria Regina in the North End.
I think Santarpios is also really good, but the whole experience doesn't work for me (the crowds, rude service, parking challenges, etc.).
For traditional pizza, I'm a fan of Regina's and Santarpio's..slightly favor Regina's; but Santarpio's has the grilled sausage/lamb plate..nice add on.
I'll suggest a slightly different kid of pizza..square but not as thick as Sicilian.no toppings..Galleria Umberto..on Hanover..also great arancinis (rice balls w/meat filling) and panzarottis (deep fried mashed potato croquettes w/mozzarella filling) closed Sundays and deservedly long lines..close when they run out 2-3 PM..open about 10:45
re: 9lives
Am I the only one that hats Santarpio's soggy limp crust? blech. Regina's! all the way.
re: CambridgeFoodie
Sadly, I've only had 1 slice at Emma's and loved it..will happily go back; but as you said, gourmet pizza..I sort of consider it 2 different categories.
If you choose properly...hot and fresh out of the oven, Haymarket can put out a good slice.
re: 9lives
In addition to Regina's, I also like Picco in the South End and, for a fancier take, the wood-fired pizzas at either Mistral or Teatro.
The soggy Santarpio's crust bugs me too, as does the cornmeal on the bottom. Good sausages...
re: wittlejosh
I haven't tried Picco yet; but the pizza looked good.
Love Mistral's grilled pizza.
re: 9lives
If you go to Picco, have the Alsatian. Better yet, let's all go to Picco and have multiple Alsatians.

Birthers Attempt to Revive "Debate"
A new billboard in Des Moines, Iowa is the latest canvas upon which the looniest Tea Partiers can artistically express their very special feelings about our president. Joseph Farah, the person responsible for the aggressively right-wing WorldNetDaily.com, has gone and bought himself some ginormous advertising space at the corner of 14th Street and Army Post Road. You can check out Farah's handiwork above, which succinctly asks the question still on everyone's most racist cousin's mind: "WHERE'S THE REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"
Farah's an old pro at this sort of thing. In fact, he proudly owns up to having essentially invented the birth certificate "controversy" in the first place…
Farah launched the famous "Where's the Birth Certificate?" billboard campaign in May of 2009. At the time, only a very small percentage of Americans were even aware of the eligibility questions surrounding Obama. More than 90 billboards were placed nationwide throughout the course of the campaign. Within six months of its launch, polls showed most Americans were aware of the controversy. Six months later, most Americans doubted Obama's eligibility.
Ah yes, those halcyon days when "only a very small percentage of Americans" (i.e., Joseph Farah's immediate family) were even aware that a tiny cadre of devoted weirdos wanted to whip up a false controversy in order to cover their real objection to the election of Barack Hussein Obama. We couldn't help but wonder: What if Joseph Farah and his pals just cut the lying and put up a billboard that says what really bothers them about our president?
We imagine that billboard would look something like this…

Mount Nebo Cabin Rental Photos and Description
Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Loft + Den, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 7-8)
'The A-Frame Cabin ' is a country cabin with fishing motif, one of a few private homes in Mount Nebo State Park located on Kentucky road across the street from the rim trail. Our country cabin is great family fun with a fire pit, fully equipped, bungalo, cabin in woods with wildlife viewing. We have new paint in living room, detail the kitchen with new shelf paper. Our 1100-square-foot, A-frame style cabin has one bedroom with a king on the ground floor, a queen, a double-size and twin bed in the loft, and queen hide a bed couch in the living room. Weekly discounts for only $100 per night.
Relax on the deck with a drink and watch the deer in the grassy feeding area planted by the park service in the front area. Evening enjoy glowing embers in the fire pit as your family roast marsh mellows on a stick. The cabin is only two blocks from the pavilion and play grounds .
With sleeping capacity for 8 people, it is an affordable family lodging priced below the rates for the State Park Cabins nearby and in a great location near the Rim Trail offering beautiful sunsets.
The park is 1500 feet above the Arkansas River Valley and is a great escape in the summer as temperatures average from five to 15 degrees cooler than the valley floor below. Mount Nebo used to be known in the late 1800s as the resort above the clouds. In 1928 it became Arkansas' second state park. We have an outdoor campfire pit and a 400 sq.foot deck.
Mt Nebo Park has many attractions which include a swimming pool with water slide and life guard from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 14 miles of hiking trails, tennis and basketball courts, baseball fields, mountain biking, hang gliding launch sites, horseshoe pits, and several playgrounds. Or if you just want to have a quiet or romantic getaway and an ideal environment to relax, 'The Cabin in The Clouds' is the perfect place for adventure. December 2011 freshly painted the Cabin in the Clouds living room we look forward to your requested date.
To book this cabin by credit card you book on line from our home site at artsummitnebo and to see more information from this site click on the word Cabin in the top link bar on the home page. This cabin is pet friendly just raise the blinds alittle so they are not torn and please don't leave them alone in the cabin, please bring their pet bed. No extra deposit required. See a video at youtube copy and paste ( Mt Nebo Cabin in the clouds )
There is a walmart at the bottom of the hill that you can visit any time for your food to cook in awesome stainless steel cookware. The deer are roaming everywhere to enjoy watching them, there is no hunting allowed. We would see and hear them in the woods on our walks. Take a hiking trail one day....just the easy one..that is kinda cool too. If it gets a little dark just walk up onto the road which is very near the trails for part of your walk back to the cabin. Have a great time on the deck and would definitely recommend the cabin to anyone. Who knows, maybe next winter you will get the itch to get the bikes out and return to the cabin.
Many little amenities make it so cozy and relaxing, and perfect for a family vacation. A great assortment of books, and blankets for chilly evenings. The history of Mt. Nebo is over a hundred years old and enjoy reading about it and see the remains of the old hotels. The hiking is the best. The kids have a blast playing baseball at the play grounds! It is great to have all the toys and games to play with. Very fun! The cabin is beautiful. You can check in late to find the light on and the cabin clean and quaintly decorated with little personal touches all over of hand made pottery and wateercolor paintings. The photos don't do this beautiful little corner of the mountain it's due. From the coffee, to the grill, to the bedding, to the horse shoes, to the thick and luxurious towels, everything was above your expectations. We love Mt. Nebo for it's beauty and go up there at least a couple of times a month and
this house is more spacious than you expect and there is plenty of room for a group of 7 adults to gather round the table for a meal with the extra picnic table out on the large deck. It is a very spacious and accommodating kitchen, more than enough cabinet space and stocked with the essential appliances and utensils. Fireplace, charcoal and gas grill, and fire pit...
You sleep better when the air is cleaner and absolutely fundamental to the experience . Walk the trail around the Sunset/Sunrise Points loop to see wonderful views and splended rock formations.
The cabin is well-supplied with everything one could need from cooking utensils to handsoap and suitable for young children with the large deck and flate yard with no drop off.
You walk in to an extremely homey kitchen, fully stocked with pots/pans/glasses/and dishes. The bedrooms are quaint and welcoming with comfortable beds. The living room has plenty of seating and around every corner is something you weren't expecting. There is a television with Direct TV to turn it on for your viewing pleasure. There are so many things to do there that you never should stay indoors for too long.

About Cynthia and Daniel Schanink
Mount Nebo has always been a very special place for us since we meet on Mount Nebo on a church outting. The cabin is our second rental property and we have made some lasting memories here with family and friends gathering at the fire pit, watching the wild life such as deer, birds and squirls and I love to walk the eight trails. The state of Arkansas advertised from sunset point for many years.
Cynthia and Daniel Schanink purchased this cabin in 2003
Why Cynthia and Daniel Schanink chose Mount Nebo
This country cabin is by the deer feeding area in the Mount Nebo State Park with fresh cooler air than the valley, a great place to come and relax. Located across the street from the rim trail that goes around the mountain. So many beautiful trails and places to visit. I have made this a pet friendly place for our friends.
What makes this cabin unique
We are pet friendly with a warm and cozy fire place, a fully equipped kitchen, we have a horse shoe pit, fire pit for an evening glow, picnic table on a large deck and to view with visiting deer. Peace abounds since it is off the beaten path on Kentucky Rd in the state park.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We heard there would be snow on Mount Nebo and headed to Arkansas to enjoy a few days of winter. Driving up the twisty 2 mile road, salt and sanded we had no problems at 4 pm the state park would not rent a cabin, so we drove around to fine the cabin in the clouds to stay the night. Calling the number on the sign the owners let us stay and it had every thing we needed. We are glad we stayed to enjoy this beautiful place.

Kotaku is reporting that Sony's successor to the PlayStation 3 will be codenamed Orbis and is scheduled for a holiday (US) 2013 release.
You can read more about what Kotaku's learnt here but the main rumours are that the "Orbis" will have an AMD x64 CPU and an AMD Southern Islands GPU, which will be able to run games at a resolution of up to 4096 x 2160. It'll also be able to play 3D games in 1080p.
The "Orbis" won't offer backward compatibility with PlayStation 3 games (like the current model PS3s don't offer backward compatibility with PS2 games) but it looks as though it'll have some kind of anti-used games measures built in, much as rumours suggest the next Xbox console will.
Kotaku says their sources tell it that games will be available on both Blu-ray and downloadable forms but disc-based games will have to be tied to a single PlayStation Network account. Kotaku's source says if the original owner sells a disc-based game, it seems the new owner could be limited to what they can access on the game disc and the new owner may have to pay a fee to unlock/re-register the game.
Any anti-used game measures like this will severely dent the pre-owned game market and personally, while I don't buy a lot of used games - though I still troll the used game bins at brick and mortar retailers looking for bargains on older games - I'm not sure how I feel about having to pay an additional fee on top of what I've paid for the game.
I don't have figures on used game sales in New Zealand but I would guess that it's a healthy market, especially given how much we already pay for brand new games here, but how do you feel about a suggestion that if you bought a copy of a game second-hand you'd have to pay an unlock fee to access all the content?
Stuff you might also find interesting: Game Junkie is on Twitter and you can email him here. You can also hear him on Kiwi FM every Tuesday chatting about video games with Glenn Williams, and, if that isn't enough, he has another gaming blog here. Check it out sometime. It's updated at least once a week.

Thats bad news for the likes of United Video etc as I can see the market for hiring games to drop dramatically if Sony expect to charge fees to unlock previously used games on top of the hire costs (unless they release copies specifically for video stores to hire out that don't have this function).
Disgusted. Would not purchase a console if this was legit. But hey, that's why they're called 'Rumour Mills'.
No backwards compatibility AND screwing us on used games is totally bogus. Sony will be shooting themselves in the foot if they go through with it. Fingers crossed they come to their senses and stop the double charging.
If the "anti used" thing turns out true, I will not buy one.
And I say this as a person who neither buys used games, nor sells games on.
I'm sure Sony can do without my money, though.
I would buy one - I would hope that every game comes with atleast a 24 hour free trial period - So renting games does not get effected as much.
Personally I think that the fee's for buying a 2nd hand game should only be in effect for the first 6 months - 1 year of the products life. Any fee's after this time is just plan greed.
Read this interesting article on Kotaku yesterday which put a spin on it that I hadn't thought of. Worth a look. http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/03/five-reasons-a-world-without-used-games-might-not-be-so-bad/
there are already attacks on the used-game market. For example, Battlefield 3 requires a licence to play on top of paying $100 for the disk.
Just plain wrong. Either they sold you the game or they didn't. Next the car company will want a fee to allow transfer to a new owner!
At the risk of sound fan-boyish (not sure if I can remotely claim that at 40 years old), I have to say I'd still buy one. I'd also still buy the next Microsoft console too.
Truth be told, I'm not into boasting a wall-to-wall catalogue of games I bought on the cheap simply because they were, well cheap.
There are enough quality games, and I believe there will continue to be quality games that would warrant buying a game brand new.
If you can't afford it at the time of release, then surely you could just wait until they go Platinum or Classic? – spending wisely as opposed to spending because you have a couple of coins in your pocket right?
Hopefully what this does do is press for Game Developers to start making more quality titles. I mean it makes sense right? If people stop (or can no longer) buy used games, as consumers we'll be driven to be more selective of the titles we do buy … if this results in some very hyped-up developers not meeting mass expectation, then I'm guessing the first thing they'll notice is lack of sales! …
I don't know? Maybe it's just me being 'old?' … tends to happen when you have to be more frugal about your own personal entertainment spending.
Have to admit though that from all the specs listed in these rumours, all we're talking about is the "anti-used game" issue?! … really?!
I'm keen on seeing what in the blue hell 4096 x 2160 looks like! I'm guessing that an upgrade to an UHDTV is on the cards? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_High_Definition_Television)
It also raises issues for return policies like EBgames have. I mean, they're not gana take back a game if they can't sell it since you used the codes. Since we can't hire them either Sony better have a trial for every game. Otherwise I will simply buy up all the PS3 and Xbox games I could possibly want and then not buy the new system.

FPS Philippines starts domestic ocean services
Famous Pacific Forwarding Philippines Inc. ' a member of the FPS network of independent forwarders and NVOCCs ' has launched two-way domestic ocean services to link the main international ports of Manila and Cebu to key ports throughout the islands.The new services are operating weekly to Davao, Cagayan de Oro and the other main southern destination ports, catering both for FCL and LCL traffic. Any other port can be served on demand. By connecting with its wide spread of international groupage services, FPS is able to offer through-services between internal Philippine points and many major global ports.
In addition to container freight, Famous Pacific Forwarding is also offering ro-ro services, and plans to add conventional capacity at a later date.
Says Famous Pacific Forwarding Director Marina Rollan: 'While there has been a downturn in overall volumes of international cargo in 2012, there has been an upward trend in the domestic sector. This has been caused by growing demand for transport of goods from Manila to various points of the Southern Philippines - supplying construction materials, feeding the growth in commercial outlets and providing distribution of finished products.'
She continues: 'These new domestic services have been added in response to strong demand from our existing clientele supporting us for international shipments. Very few international forwarders engage in domestic services, and this brings us a step closer to offering a total integrated logistics service.'

text: Waylon Smithers (voice of Harry Shearer) awakes with a brutal hangover, convinced that in a drunken haze he attempted to kill C. Montgomery Burns (also voiced by Shearer), his employer, mentor, and secret love. However, after being taken in by the police, it's discovered that Smithers actually shot elderly eccentric Jasper (also voiced by Shearer) in his wooden leg. So who did attempt to take Mr. Burns' life? Jazz great Tito Puente (who provides his own voice) is let off the hook after he reveals his own revenge against Burns in the form of a "slanderous mambo," and all eyes turn to the Simpson family when a test of the bullet reveals evidence of the family's DNA. The likely suspects appear to be Homer (voice of Dan Castellaneta), enraged that Burns could not remember his name; Lisa (voice of Yeardley Smith), angry that Puente lost his teaching position after Burns stole oil reserves from the local elementary school; and Bart (voice of Nancy Cartwright), who pledged to get revenge after Burns' oil put his dog in the animal hospital. Burns finally comes to his senses and reveals that a member of the Simpson family did indeed shoot him -- but not the one anyone expected. Answering the questions raised by the cliffhanging Who Shot Mr. Burns (Part One), which closed out the sixth season of The Simpsons, "Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two)" kicked off season seven when it first aired on September 17, 1995. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

When you watch America's Next Top Model tonight, keep this in mind: Both of the Jays already know the winner!
I just caught up with the fabulous Mr. Jay Manuel and Miss J. Alexander, and they gave me the following dish on the "obvious" girl who'll be victorious this season...
"I called the winner of this cycle on day one," Mr. Jay told me. "I knew it."
"We both did," Miss J revealed. "We both knew who would win right away. It was obvious!"
So I ask you fans...Who is the obvious choice? Isis? Elina? Clark? Those are just three names that come to mind, but it's up to you to vote in our poll below.
In the meantime, don't expect any clear indication from the Jays on who they're rooting for during the episodes. "Trust me, whenever it's kind of obvious they cut it out because they don't want us to give it up, but I did call this winner," insisted Mr. Jay (who, by the way, I got to work closely with on Emmy day, and let me tell you, he is the real deal).
"What happens sometimes [is that] when I scream excitement over a girl," added Miss J, "she never gets chosen, because the producers think it's too obvious. So I don't do that anymore. I keep it to myself now."
So what about Isis, the show's first transgender contestant? Could she be the one?
"The amazing thing with Isis is that if there is one industry that can really embrace someone who is transgender, it would be the fashion industry," noted Jay Manuel.
Guess we'd better not rule her out yet, though it should be noted Isis hasn't exactly been wowing the judges lately. Instead, I'm looking tonight for the girl who doesn't get much commentary from the judges at all...
For the record, my money's on Elina.
Now...guesses? Favorites? The comments and poll below are all yours for the taking...

November 28, 2014
"First of all i just want to say welcome to everybody, i can not wait for all the kids to come back because they do keep me young," said Anja Andelic, owner of Fig Bistro and Bar.
That was the general sentiment among all business owners on The Corner where UVa students flock to during the school year.
All their favorite UVa apparel stores, restaurants and bars all excited to have them back.
But with the record number of first-years set to move to grounds, business owners have high expectations.
"My business will just explode," said Andelic.
and for parents bringing their first year students to grounds they help these business do just that.
for this 1983 uva grad, who has a son starting his first year, he said the numbers dont surprise him.
"they decided to increase the number of students drastically since i went here back in the old days, so obviously they're doing something right."
Even a group of returning students were excited about the big numbers.
"I think it's awesome man, we're growing, as long as we can house them all and have the good experience, that's really good."
and of course a first year himself despite typical fears of starting college.
"i guess a big first year class is good, even though i wont get to know everyone in my class which i think is kind of daunting."

Frosty (frozen dairy dessert)
The Frosty is the signature frozen dairy dessert of Wendy's fast-food restaurants.
Product description[edit]
The dessert is a type of frozen dairy dessert. Originally available only in chocolate, a vanilla flavored version of the dessert was introduced in July 2006 after frequent customer requests.[1]
- Twisted Frosty – Introduced in July 2005 as the Fix 'n Mix Frosty and later renamed to Twisted Frosty in 2007, items such as M&M's, Butterfinger Chips, Oreo Chips, or Nestle cookie dough are mixed into the Frosty. Wendy's discontinued the Twisted Frosty in June 2011 and replaced them with the Frosty Parfaits along with the Frosty Shakes.
- Frosty Float – The Frosty Float is a root beer float style dessert. Introduced in May 2007. The float is made with any of the Coca-Cola products Wendy's sells.[2]
- Frosty milkshakes – a hand spun milkshake. Introduced on May 21, 2008 and originally came only in three flavors: Chocolate Fudge, Vanilla Bean, and Strawberry.
In July 1986 two short-lived variants were introduced. Lack of popular appeal led to their removal from the menu in September 1986.
- Frosty-Tea – A combination of a traditional Frosty with sweetened tea. It was promoted as a late afternoon "pick me up."
- Frosty-Forster – An extra large Frosty made with chunks of chocolate and cherries. It was named in honor of California Angels pitcher Terry Forster and promoted mainly in the Orange County, California region.
In June 2009, two additional variants of the Frosty were introduced in the United States.
- Frosty-cino – Wendy's take on mixing the Frosty dairy dessert with coffee, chocolate drizzle, and whipped cream.
- Coffee Toffee Twisted Frosty – A mix of Frosty, coffee, and toffee bits.
In June 2011, Frosty Parfaits replaced Twisted Frosties and a new line of Frosty Shakes were introduced.
- Frosty Parfaits – Available in Caramel Apple, Oreo, Wild Berry (seasonal) and strawberry shortcake (seasonal).
- Frosty Shakes – Caramel and Wild Berry flavors were added to the menu.
In December 2012, with the introduction of the Right Price Right Size Value Menu, the Vanilla Bean and Wild Berry Frosty Shake flavors were discontinued in favor of other flavors and since only the vanilla flavor of the Frosty is used when making shakes mixed with the different syrup flavors.
The Frosty was invented by dairyman E.M. "Bill" Barker at the request of Wendy's owner Dave Thomas. When the first Wendy's opened in 1969, chocolate, actually a mixture of both chocolate and vanilla, was the flavor of the original Frosty. Dave Thomas thought that 100% chocolate was too overpowering a flavor when paired with a Wendy's burger and fries meal. The second Frosty flavor, vanilla, was introduced in 2006.[1]

Good-real breakfast on the west side.
- c
- Centerline24 Dec 31, 2006 12:29 AM
I am in search of some good, meaty, filling breakfasts; chicken fried steak, meat omletes etc. Who has an idea where I can find them? I am not talking about healthy alternatives, just the real thing...I know westwood country cafe has a great skillet, but they have a very limited menu. Please help.
26 Beach Restaurant in Venice. Definitely filling breakfasts.
Someone will undoubtedly mention Pann's because you mentioned chicken fried steak(I was somewhat disappointed in their CFS).
I know I'll hate myself in the morning when there is yet another party on the list in front of me being seated, but your answer is the S & W Country Cafe on Washington in downtown Culver City. Great generous breakfasts, good service, and cooks who know how to cook eggs to order and make hash browns crispy. What you want is their homemade corned beef hash (they also offer a canned option) served with eggs and a choice of sides -- go for the pancakes. I had a sausage, bacon and cheese omelette the other day that had good smoky chunks of meat in every bite. One warning -- their "biscuits" are soft squares cut from a loaf. They serve breakfast and lunch items at all hours, I believe, and I'll bet their meatloaf is good. Prices are good, cash only, and they take a couple bucks off the omelette prices on weekdays between 7-8 and 10-11.
Note -- 26 Beach is gonna cost you at least twice as much out the door as S & W.
I just went to Snug Harbor yesterday. Wilshire between 23rd and 24th, two doors down from Bread and Porridge and one block east of the Whole Foods.
We had a tuna melt, a meatloaf melt, and a caesar salad (don't ask me why, she was being healthy-ish). The menu is pretty extensive: all kinds of omlets, big fluffy pancakes, mountains of breakfast potatoes on the grill, sandwiches, burgers, curly fries, etc. Didn't notice chicken fried steak, though.
Also had a good banana malt, but liked my chocolate cake shake last time better. I guess they only have chocolate cake shakes when they have leftover cake.
Alright, I suspect it may get me in trouble with some people, but I really love the breakfasts at John O'Groats by the Fox lot. No CFS, but great, hearty, well-executed breakfast fare.
We love Jinky's on Second street between Broadway and Santa Monica. They have everything, and it's all delicious. Great ambience too.
Thanks everybody for replying. I actually went to too places and had breakfast twice, go figure. I went to Snug harbor and had the skillet and it was OK, a bunch of meat and cheese, but the taste was indistinguishable from each piece of meat. I couldn't tell if I was eating sausage, bacon or ham with each bite. They had some good pototoes too. Then for lunch we went to this place...Westwood country Cafe on Westwood, just north of olympic on the east side of the street. this place is just what I was looking for. I had a omelet with bacon, sausage and ham that was huge and delicious. we sat at the bar and watched the cook make it, it was great, so much meat, I was stuffed. My dad ordered the skillet which was incredible, tons of peppers, onions, pototoes ham, bacon, sausage and eggs. it all was reasonable priced, under 10 bucks. the only thing that sucked was they only had white or wheat toast. I think I found a new spot for breakfast.

Location, just out of town suited us with bicycles. Pleasant, clean room Good elevated location for whale watching in migration season Reception staff helpful
Breakfast on the expensive side. Better places to eat evening meal elsewhere
Staff were helpful
My room look different to the picture. It was plain no pictures on the wall as other rooms did, bed sheets all plain.. Walked past another 3 rooms with the works.. I was in room 223..
Swim up bar, views, location and the standard of the second room was very good, which was a poolside room and very quiet.
First room I was put in was old, dirty and dark. There were cockroaches and ants in the room. Spent two nights in it then asked to be changed, which they did very quickly. Couldn't get onto WiFi, which there was a charge for but was refunded.
Very Friendly Staff Comfortable Beds Location handy Good meals Room serviced every day
Conveniently located this old style resort with very friendly and helpful staff has a prime location in that the site is elevated overlooking the lagoon from where we could see whales pass - not too far away. It was a wonderful event. Lagoon view rooms are a bit more 'select' and private while poolside you feel like part of the 'community'. Roll on Rarotonga. We loved our stay amongst these quiet and dignified people.
Pleasant interactions with some staff. Great location for whale watching. Comfortable bed.
Expensive for what was offered. Food choices at restaurant abysmal. Serviceability of room facilities poor. 'Laid-back' attitude of staff might be mistaken for an easy-going attitude to life. In fact this frequently was revealed as 'don't give a toss'.
Close to town
The resort is becoming very run down and unkempt
Location and convenience of travel into main part of town. The staff was helpful and courteous.
The service in the restaurant is very slow.
The super friendly staff wonderful views comfy bed and the dining was good. Every day someone was sweeping cleaning gardens and generally keeping the pool areas spot on.
The bathroom especially the shower was not clean and daily room makeup appeared not to improve this. Fridge was very small although good enough.
Staff were helpful, always cleaning the grounds. Reception girl was friendly. The view from our room was good. Location was great being close to Avarua.
Our air conditioner leaked and left a pool of water in our room, but that was fixed straight away. There was a hole in the roof so when it rained we woke up to water dripping on our floor. Our room was not serviced one day. The ground around the pool was slippery even though they had a sign slippery when wet it didn't help because we had to walk that way to get to our lagoon front room. Tried to get snorkel gear but there was none available. One day we missed breakfast by 15 minutes but they were not able to serve us, even though there were patrons still eating breakfast. We had to wait an hour n a half to order from the lunch menu.
Loved relaxing atmosphere - really enjoyed restaurant food , sometimes they needed more wait staff - my "speciAl" banana fritter was a particular hi light ! Lol
The pool table needs sorting!
-The male waiters in the evening were very nice. Friendly, Smiled at you and also had very quick service. -Great cocktails -Whales were seen from the view out the back in the ocean -Male cleaner was lovely very accomodating. -Close to town.
-No hot water the last 3 days so we ended up showering at a friends place. -When we arrived the lady had not much of an idea about our booking she had to ask us if we get breakfast included or not and if we had paid already which ideally they should know. -Breakfast very average fruit looked like it was the same plate used for days. No hot food all cold. -We were put next to a room that was being renovated but when went to the room to nap after being jetlagged there was hammers banging on the walls so this was kind of impossible. -I understand Island time is a factor in the cookislands but the staff especially the ladies just looked like they didnt want to be there and never made the effort to say hello or even a smile.
The staff. Absolutely friendly. My room. It overlooked the ocean! There was a kettle, fridge, hair dryer, shampoo, hangers, TV, towels, alarm set & radio, tea, coffee, sugar, milk & some dish inside. The food in the restaurant was good.
It was uncomfortable for its money. The room cost around $160 AUD per night. I arrived 1 a.m. and was very tired. The receptionist showed me how to turn on the air conditioner and left. I went to the reception to buy some drink and when I came back in 5 minutes, I failed to switch it on by myself. As I was very tired I just left it off. It was pretty hot inside, but I couldn't leave the door open, because there was no fly screen, just the door (the next morning I found two windows). I went to bed, but the fridge was working too loudly. I had to switched it off. The shower leaked, and I had to stand up again and turn it off as much as I could ( but it was continuing leaking). That moment I understood why I hardly was able to turn the shower on when arrived). The bedding was not clean? I was not sure :( The windows (all the wall) was not clear. I can add that not every room overlooks the ocean. It can be deep among the trees, overlooks another rooms.
The prices at the resterurant. a salad should be more than a piece of lettuce. Happy hour at the bar $1.00 off a beer, a waste of time.
Tua was very rude to me every morning at breakfast- was noticeable for others to comment, coffee cups glasses should be changed every day not rinsed out and left in the bathroom,
Great lagoon view, nice staff, comfy bed, lovely tropical garden
Far from everything, Breakfast was average, old fittings and overall not that clean.
It was our third time at Club raro and we felt this time they had made some improvements not that it worried us we have enjoyed all our stays there it is good value for money, staff are always friendly. Meals have improved since our other visits we stayed in most nites this time.
The restaurant was easily accessible. Best food I've eaten for a while.
Great resort
The nicer snorkel beaches are on the other side of the island
Peaceful and quiet,and the Privacy.
Nothing about the place was outstanding.
The property is jaded and needs a big face lift.
Most things
Almost nothing
Location, food was ok
The property was located close to Avarua. We used it as a base and enjoyed having scooters to travel daily, dependent on wind direction etc. The staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities were basic but we knew that when we booked and feel that we got excellent value for the cost of the accommodation for 3 adults. We would recommend it to other budget conscious travelers. The room they suggested for us was self contained and we had cooking facilities, full sized fridge etc.
Swimming pool water looked brackish at times. One of the washing machines was out of order…had to wait to use them. The management could have considered visual impact of Rubbish bin storage and screened these or placed them elsewhere.
Location: sloth-paced 25 minute walk or 5 minute drive to Avarua, few minutes walk to the fishing club and flying boat takeaway. Friendly and helpful restaurant and general staff. Pleasant views out to the sea from the pool bar/boardwalk area. Movie channel was useful - amusing when a movie ends then staff scroll through until they find something they like to watch. Standard room was dated but quiet. Never saw the room service staff - but you knew they had serviced the room with fresh towels etc. Recommend inclusive continental breakfast deal - lots of fresh fruit, pancakes, toast/spreads, coffee/tea and juices to fuel up for the day. Friendly advice to settle our bill the night before we left. Invoice was accurate. Departing wake up call and airport transfer was exactly on time. Good value if you're content with a basic place to sleep and store your luggage.
Unhelpful and bureaucratic manager - charged for four day scooter hire, when I effectively could only hire it for less than three 24 hour periods before leaving the country, despite exchanging emails with arrival/departure dates and scooter hire info. Weird. Not every room has a lcd tv - couldn't use my HDD to watch tv or play music. Aircon unit can be noisy at times but ok if you're a heavy sleeper. Just keep the fan on. Despite warning signs that outside paths are slippery when wet - its still hazardous.

The Senate passed a budget for the first time in four years in a marathon session that ended in the early morning hours of Saturday March 23. But the real heavy lifting doesn't start at least until Congress returns from its Easter recess on April 8, and the House of Representatives and the Senate begin the laborious work of trying to reconcile two dramatically different budgets.
The Senate plan would increase spending on technology, transportation, and infrastructure, including building out broadband access in schools and restoring cuts to financing for science research and development made under the Budget Control Act of 2011. The House plan, passed earlier in the week, supports some funding for basic science research, but eliminates loan guarantees and other financing directed at supporting sectors like alternative energy.
The House budget would authorize $966 billion in spending for fiscal year 2014, while the Senate's budget totals more than $1 trillion.
Read the House budget.
Read the Senate budget.
This sharp contrast doesn't lend itself to obvious compromise. However, both budgets do seek savings from streamlining government operations.
So far, the leaders of the House and the Senate have been mum on when a conference committee will be named to thrash out a compromise plan between the Senate budget and the House version. The Obama administration is expected to produce a budget proposal of its own in the coming weeks, but the next hard deadline in the nation's ongoing fiscal debate will hit when the Obama administration needs Congress to extend the federal government's borrowing authority – expected sometime in July.

We all have those days. You're woken up several times in the night by one child or other. You're defeated by 6am and think "sod it, I may as well get up". Two-year-old is in a bad mood due to not enough sleep and is very demanding all day, a cacophony of toddler-screeching that makes your ears say "please can I have tinnitus, instead?". Baby is teething and won't let you put her down. You stub your toe. At that moment two-year-old has a toilet accident and screams even more.
Yes…is a 'bad Mummy' day! The days when there are frequent moments that you feel being a parent is just, well, bad.
All is not lost! I was texting a friend the other day, saying "I don't know how I got through the day!" I discovered there are five things that do just that:
- Coffee. I recently wrote about my extreme coffee love in my post 37 things. Coffee has always been my pick-me-up of choice, and in some of the more fraught and tired moments, it both calms and reenergises me, provides comfort and motivation.
- Sugar. I've previously wittered about sugar's emerging role in my life as a parent, here and here. Sugar provides a boost to the blood sugar levels at just the right moment. It's stupidly unhealthy – at the time of eating it, I know perfectly well I should be eating a banana instead – but it works. Plus it's not forever, surely?
- Friends in similar state of chaos. It helps to spend at least part of the day with friends who also have children and who know perfectly well what it can be like – the good days and the bad days. Being in the company of those who also have children that can turn into demon monsters at any given moment makes me feel so much better hahahaha *evil cackle*!
- Moments of bliss. Even on a 'bad Mummy' day as described above, there are moments of pure pleasure. I'll suddenley realise that ten-month-old is trying to say a new word, or that the two girls are sat playing together nicely. Two-going-on-three-year-old will say something that has me in hysterics ("THAT MAN OVER THERE'S GOT HIS BIG TUMMY OUT!"), or she will show me some of her new trampoline moves. These moments may be fleeting on such a day, but their energy-boosting power gives you a lot of strength to keep going. It's what it's all for.
- This too shall pass. I've been fond of repeating this mantra, recently. Four words, but with so much meaning. The difficult periods, for example the few weeks when my then 5 week old had colic, do pass. At the end of those periods, you can sit back and reflect – and feel pride that you got through it and everything's ok.
I'm at a stage where days can be tough – relentless, all-consuming, tiring, draining, yet rewarding, thrilling, happy and meaningful. How can any day be all of those things?

18 Comments on Five favourite things that get me through a "bad Mummy" day
Hahahaha what on earth does it say about us when number 1 of both our lists is coffee?!?! LOVE IT! This too shall pass is an absolute gem of a mantra and one that also helps me get through sometimes and it is sooooo true Love this post as I can totally and utterly identify with it!Reply
Oh thank you!!! Hahaha and yes on my third coffee!
Nodding along and agreeing with all of the above. Think we're all in the same boat really. Love the kids but you know, sit down and please be quiet for ten minutesReply
Hahaha I wish they'd do that right now!
'This to shall pass' who ever came up with this, I want to hug them! When you are so involved in a stressful situation, this immediately puts things into a much more approachable perspective and I don't even have kids.
I hope I did this linky thing properly, although as I'm not self hosted yet I couldn't do 3 and 4. a
Do you have any tips on who to pay to get my blog self hosted, so I can join affiliate programs and have (very) selected adds etc?Reply
Thanks so much for linking!! I'm not self hosted but I believe wordpress does a good self hosted or the google one as you can then get google Adsense? Xx
Thanks hon x
"this too shall pass" is definitely a 'quote' to live by, its so comforting! why can i not drink coffee? i think im one of the only mums who doesn't drink it! im totally with u on sugar tho! xReply
Lol you've had a lucky escape with the coffee!!
So, so true! Yesterday was one of those days, and even a large slice of homemade chocolate cake didn't ease the pain of the constant fighting and screeching! But, as you say, this too shall pass, and today they're both being lovely again!! #Britmums #MyBestPostReply
Oh thanks for reading and commenting! Hmmm that chocolate cake sounds nice xx
HI – this is so funny and true. I'd love to include your post in a round-up on 'bad mums' I'm doing for Britmums in September. Let me know if that's OK with you.Reply
That would be fab- thank you! I'd love to be included. If you let me know when it's posted I can gloat a bit :-). I'm @megster8 on twitter. x
when they are diddy like this, you have to remember alot of it is just a phase… The teething, the sleepless nights. You have to just be consistent, stand your ground and keep those guidelines firm so the little people know where they stand. These phases do pass. And if you fear the potty training, you just have to grit your teeth, go cold turkey and you will come out the other side… there may be some accidents along the way, but the little people do learn and those changing bags over your shoulder will, at some point, become a faint distant memory. Then you are on to the next stage… lugging their scooter everywhere! xReply

this one comes from BIRCH, BEST XYLITOL AVAILABLE ON IHERB. Dont encourage the CORN BASED xylitol as corn crops ARE BAD FOR THE ENVIRONNEMENT!! love
Birch sugar = white sugar

I cannot tell the difference between this sugar and white granulated sugar...it would fool the pickiest eater who would never know they're eating a low glycemic sweetner!
No nasty aftertaste, but unwanted side effects

I was hooked on Suzanne Somers original somersweet--but they changed the ingredients and now it tastes like all the other fake sweeteners. This stuff is great--I just got it and use it in coffee--have not tried for baking yet, just wish it was a little cheaper. Update: After having used this about 10 days, I've changed my opinion slightly--taste is still excellent, but after drinking 2 cups of coffee in the morning without about a tablespoon total of this, I can't keep anything down, have diarrhea 2 -3 times a day. Will have to wean myself down, and just eventually wean myself off this. Wouldn't give to my children with this side effect.
Excellent sugar alternative!

It really does seem to be the closest to sugar of all the natural alternatives I've tried and it didn't upset my stomach. A little goes a long way. Much better than other types of xylitol I've tried.
Great replacement for sugar

Sexual orientation is on a continuum. It's not as black and white as we tend to think. Being gay--or bi, or anything because we all have our individual quirks and preferences.
I strongly disagree with this. Statistics bear out that orientation is not on a continuum. Different strokes for different folks - sure. But the concept that there is a sliding scale for sexual orientation that applies to everyone is false. Look at the statistics.
I get it. My ex was perfect for several months post d-day. Only wanted me, wanted our family. We did therapy both IC and MC. He tried, I guess, in his way. But, as I look back, the emotional connection really wasn't there.
He just wanted it in the past and to move forward. He didnt' really want to talk about what he had done, or dig around in his head, or work on figuring out who he IS. He just stuffed it back inside (although it looked like he was working because we were in therapy), it didn't take very long for him to just go back to the old coping mechanism.
We understand how hard it is when they SWEAR they are sorry and will not do it again. But, we are here to tell you that only a very small percentage can actually do that.
PROTECT YOURSELF and your child. Get away from him and take some space so you can both think. If you are meant to be together...that will happen in the future. Right now, protect yourself.
I really appreciate ever ones comments Thank you
The key is this: if you want and are willing to work for a monogamous relationship, you need him to want, to be willing to work for, and to be able to sustain a monogamous relationship.
He probably can't do that if he's gay, but being straight or bi is no guarantee that he will do what you need.
I'd recommend focusing on whether or not he's ready, willing, and able to be monogamous with you.
So yes.
You have to find out what's important to you and how long can you go with the continued disrespect. You've caught him 5-6 times already. How many chances do you plan on giving him?

If you'd read my message you'd know that sexuality wasn't even the POINT. I stated my opinion that yes, the OP's husband is likely gay, but that is the LEAST of her worries because dishonesty, lack of commitment, and refusal to commit to a monogamous relationship are marriage killers, regardless of orientation. It doesn't matter whether he is unable or just unwilling -- it just doesn't. Either way, she does not have a partner.
If he's gay, he will not likely ever be able to be a real partner to her. Secrets and lies are barriers to the emotional intimacy required for a successful marriage.
But if he's straight, those lies and deception pose just as great a risk. Until and unless he is remorseful and committed to truth, there cannot be a mutually satisfying marriage.

Sorry, OP. No intention to hijack.
As PPs have said, I would be more concerned with the dishonesty with you (and perhaps himself) than a conveniently dismissed meet up gone awry. Does it really matter who he's lying to if he is consistently lying and hiding?

During pranayama is there something to be said about how one can enter Nirvilkalpa?
Yes. By monitoring the breathing and watching the object of meditation become focused the breath or consciousness and "energy" will as you breath in towards maximum move up through the spine moving into the throat and into the cranium. It is this passage moving fully up the central channel or shushumna that allow Samadhi to take place.
By sitting in Samadhi and focusing on nothing or the object of meditation (one or the other) the mind will relax (mental distractions will slow and stop) and the higher or deeper need for full body relaxation will take you higher into cosmic consciousness (nirvikalpa Samadhi).
