Noodz | The overnight snowstorm reminded me of the delicious ramen I indulged in on my last trip to NYC. Rich broth, soft-boiled egg, "umami-dama" miso paste - it satisfies the noodle craving perfectly, especially in 20-degree weather. I purposely saved some of the broth at the end for kae-dama - an extra ball of noodles to go with the remaining soup. Definitely craving this bowl now ... Swipe for the before and after! • • • 🍽 Miso Akamaru Special with nitamago (seasoned soft-boiled egg), braised pork belly, corn, and extra sesame kikurage mushrooms. 🥃 Suntory Hibiki 12, neat 📍 @ippudo #ippudo #ippudonyc #visitnyc #nyc ⭐👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 💰💲💲 Bowls average $14-$17, with extras bringing the total meal to ~$20. Adult beverages are extra. • • • #ippudoramen #dinner #japanese #ramen #tonkatsu #misobroth #ramenfoodie #nyceats #bostonfoodie #eastcoastfoodies #willtravelforfood #eattheworld #foodninja #forkyeah #wintereats #sotasty #vsco #ninjagirleats #latergram

What do you call a meal that's between lunch and dinner? Linner? Luner? @tmbtravis calls it a snack. That's the approach we took when we ordered our meal this afternoon, when it was past lunchtime and not quite supper time, and taking intermittent fasting into account. (We achieved a 16:8 today!) Swipe for the snacks we devoured from @themadmonkfish, where the servers are uber friendly and the music was upbeat. A plus of sitting by the windows is people watching. #centralsquare has no shortage of interesting characters! #centralsquarebid • • • 🍽 1. Sashimi Appetizer. // 2. Crazy Maki: shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber. // 3. Scallion Pancake. // 4. Katsu Kare: chicken in curry with brown rice. 📍#themadmonkfish @centralsquarebid #visitcambridge #cambridgema 👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💰💲💲 Appetizers range from $5-$12, entrees range from $12-$25 (depending on if it's vegetarian or not). • • • #lunch #asianfusion #japanese #thai #bostonfoodies #bostonfood #bostoneats #eaterboston #bestfoodboston #eastcoastfoodies #omnomnom #eattheworld #foodninja #forkyeah #foodphotography #sotasty #vsco #samsungs8 #latergram #ninjagirleats

Noodle Habit | On day 393 of @tsurumendavis being open, @tmbtravis and I took our friends @tanyatoddbloker to try some of the best ramen to be found in all of Boston. Formula 1995 would stop being served After December 15th, so we couldn't miss the opportunity to introduce them to Chef Onishi-San's creation before a new bowl would be introduced. As expected, the pork, broth, and noodles were cooked to perfection - looking forward to coming back before day 1000! • • • 🍽 1: Formula 1995 with chashu and onsen egg. // 2. Spicy Miso Paitan with extra chashu and onsen egg. 📍#tsurumendavis #davissquare #visitsomerville #somervillema 👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 💰💲💲 Bowls average $16-$25, depending on extras. Bottled tea is at $3 ea; tap water is available. • • • #lunch #japanese #ramen #osakastyle #onsenegg #bostonfoodies #bostonfood #bostoneats #eaterboston #omnomnom #foodninja #eattheworld #forkyeah #foodphotography #wintereats #sotasty #vsco #latergram #ninjagirleats

While we don't come here often enough to take advantage of the yearly pass, @yumegaarukara is a core component of our noodle diet. This time, we had the opportunity to watch Chef Nishioka-san work his magic. We also came at a rare time where there was no line (for about five minutes, anyway)! @tmbtravis @tomoshinoda • 🍽 Hot Niku Udon: his - triple noodle/quadruple beef, hers - double noodle/quadruple beef; both with extra tenkasu. • 📍#yumegaarukara #becauseihavedreams #portersquare #cambridgema #visitcambridge • 👍🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ • 💰💲💲 - base noodle bowl is $16, a few bucks more for extra noodles and beef. • #lunch #japanese #udon #beef #niku #perfect #foodblogger #forkyeah #eattheworld #bostoneats #bostonfoodies #foodphotography #foodninja #sotasty #vsco #latergram #ninjagirleats

When it's 20°F outside with a wind chill bringing the real feel down to 10°F, comfort food warms the soul right up, especially when paired with good company.

What is life without good food? Continuing on our journey from last weekend, swipe for a peek at our meals from The Red Rooster, a @woodstock.inn mainstay.

Trying to select photos for this #topnine was especially difficult this year, since loss is hard to capture in this world of highlights. Even then, these nine photos don't capture what a ride #2019 has been ... so swipe for a view of what couldn't fit into this little box. This past year has been a lesson in self care, facing my demons, building the support network, and reconnecting. I'll bring all this into #2020 - ready or not, we're jumping in! 🎆 @tmbtravis #yearinreview #bestnine #best9 #top9 #reflection #friends #family #travel #growth #vsco #iewtravels

Happy Holidays from @tmbtravis and me! Hope your day is filled with joy, laughter, and time with loved ones. And, of course, ALL the good food! • • • @minted #minted #holidaycard #holidays2019 #holidaygreetings #seasonsgreetings #loupoffintry #scotland #tmbworldtraveler #iewtravels

Ending the year on a high note - with family and a feast! At least ten dishes later, we have full bellies and empty beers (partially on @tmbtravis's lap because I'm a klutz). Merry Christmas Eve! 🎄 @vickywong13 @peterhakawanu @kulala7 @callie.826 • • • #christmaseve #holidays #dinner #chinesefood #seafood #lazysusan #family #extendedfamily #onewhiteguy #vsco

Merry merry! Thanks, @tanyatoddbloker, for hosting a memorable evening, complete with ugly sweaters and fake knitted suits and too much jungle juice. And thanks to everyone who joined us! Friday night was 🔥 @tmbtravis @melissachin129 @pbomdave @blackshamroc @bobsuretteiii @teresesurette @justinepangione @kgoldmannyc @mmaling @lizzifort @shaifromri @satu1974 @theofficialgrne @livingmylifelens @kenoluong @eightieseven @shaifromri @100pier4 #100pier4 #seaportboston #annualparty #holidayparty2019 #partytime #holidaze #christmas #friyay #clothingasdecor #allthefood #adultbeverages #latergram

What are you running from? Recently, it seems like I'm running from my fork. And on a self-propelled treadmill, nonetheless! Top mileage in 10 seconds = 11.2 mph. Guess I can outrun those zombies when the outbreak happens ... for a short time at least!

When I got to the gym this evening, I was already mentally exhausted from a long day at work and a 2 hr round trip commute. I'm grateful that @bistrobabe11 and @tmbtravis are committed to working out with me, and it's my commitment to them that ultimately holds me accountable for showing up. And then there's form. Sometimes the first rep in a set sucks. Then you keep going and it gets better. And then you realize you've PR'd. There's no one to compete against besides my past self when it comes to weights. Trap bar deadlift: 2 x 5 x 205lb (1st set at 160lb x 6) - that's 1.6x my body weight. Almost at 2x! Thanks for pushing me, @shaifromri!
