I admit to being curious, but skeptical about Plouf Plouf when I first heard about it. Now it’s on our list for sure!

Crème brûlée on a food truck? C’est impossible! Making my way to Thayer as soon as possible…

Comment on Off Leash: Dog Parks in Rhode Island by Beverly Blonder

I always have my beloved Lab leashed, or off-leash only when I am with him in areas where that is permitted. However, twice in his long life he has roamed away from home because either a child or a guest has negligently left a door open, etc. Thank God he wears a pet ID with our cell number, and also has an ID chip. We spent frantic hours not knowing where he was, or whether he was hit by a car, etc. One time, we were called by animal control officer who picked him up after someone reported him walking down a sidewalk. The other time, someone called us after seeing our phone number on his collar tag. Both times, we were very grateful and relieved beyond belief. No one should assume that the owners of a dog walking around loose have intentionally just let him out to roam around. If you are uncomfortable approaching the dog to read it’s collar tag, please call animal control and let them know where the dog is, and the direction he’s heading. Perhaps you could put some water out, or food, to try to keep the dog there until animal control arrives.

Yes, and the Quebec -style fries a/k/a poutine are mighty good.

I really haven’t had a much more satisfying burger, but I also factor the experience into my memory of the flavor. The burgers are cooked on a griddle, and pressed. And some of the onions are pressed into the meat, which can leave a slightly bitter-burnt taste that Michele objects to, but I like. The cheese is melty, the well-cooked patty is still juicy, and the bun is a soft, potato variety.

Bear, C and I went to Yacht Club this weekend, got a few bottles and brought them home for a taste test. It was a lot of fun!
