Boston: Days 3.5 - 4.5

Had a super late start to the day due to the crappy weather. After Edward came back from class at 4pm, we fell asleep watching a chinese cartoon and didn't wake up until after 7... geebus. It was just so windy, wet and gloomy outside, wasn't in the mood to go out.

We finally decided to go out to this Mexican chain for a quick dinner. The portions were ginormous. My burrito was bigger than a brick. Wasn't even close to being able to finish it, especially since we ordered some chicken nachos to share. The nachos were different from the ones we usually order in T.O. The cheese wasn't melted, it was covered with pinto beans and it had corn chile salsa on it. Tasted good though. I would've taken a picture except that we forgot the camera. The burrito, however, was just completely overkill.


We were originally going to get some dessert at
Finale right after dinner but we decided to stop by the apartment to pick up the camera instead. Took some pics of us while we were there.

<-- Edward thought he looked weird with the scraf.. something about being fobby?? I just thought he was missing his neck.

In this one he thought he looked -->
too much like this bro... so one more time.

<-- 3rd time's the charm. Done and done. Time for some yummy dessert.

A quick few stops on the T took us to Arlington station. Then we walked for a few minutes to our destination. Again, I marvel at the compactness of this city.

We ordered the Fantasia for two at Finale. It was basically a sampler of five different desserts. Their desserts are supposed to be really good and usually come in pretty small portions, due to the richness of it, I suppose. The size of each variety in the sampler was miniature, but it was quite enough. I was stuffed after trying 3 out of 5 of the them.

Clockwise from bottom right corner:
Cinnamon rice pudding topped with mango sorbet;
Orange creme caramel;
Peach almond torte with apricot sauce;
White chocolate flower petals filled with butter crumb cake, lemon Bavarian cream and topped with sliced blueberries;
Fresh strawberry tart with vanilla gelato;
Chocolate basket filled with mixed berry sauce and miniature sugar cakes.

They were all very yummy. The textures varied with each dessert which I liked. There were lots of different sauces which got a little messy after a while, but they pretty much went with every variety. Delicious. My favourite was the orange creme caramel. Nice and light.

Okay, I've updated enough.

time for: wash up and go sleep. or at least try.
