Chili

Chili !  Nature's perfect food ( or is pizza nature's perfect food ? ).  2-1/2 pounds of hamburger, 2 big cans of diced tomatoes, 2 cans of kidney beans, 3 jalapenos, 1 green pepper, and seasoning.  I sprinkle some shredded cheese in when I'm dishing it up. 

Boston Public Garden

 

 I rode the T today to Park Street and walked across the Common and the Public Garden.  The Garden was beautiful even this far into Fall.

 

 

The ducks were doing their usual thing.  I walked the length of Newbury Street ( no, I did not get a manicure, pedicure, facial, or anything ! ).  Then I cut over to Boylston and walked back.  With a stop at Au Bon Pain for decaf and a Ham, Egg, Cheese sandwich.

Roast Chicken, Potatoes. Onions

 

 

I'm roasting a chicken along with potatoes cut in half and onions also cut in half.  I drizzled a little canola oil and some melted butter on everything.  Then I sprinkled some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on all of it.

 

The smells are wonderful.  I get to enjoy them for about 2-1/2 hours, or, until the thermometer pops up.

Sunday, October 3rd

 

Delayed posting - this was my Sunday adventure.  I hopped on the trolley to Harvard Square and walked around Harvard Yard and the surrounding streets.  I love the area.  It seems so alive and different from the rest of the Boston area.

 I took almost 50 pictures.  I really enjoy the blend between old and new buildings on the campus.  Sunday morning between 8 and 9 is a very quiet time there ( late night partying the night before ? ).  You almost couldn't tell that you were in the middle of a major metropolitan  area.
