Food for Others: Canstruction Boston 2013

"Canstruction is one competition where everyone wins, especially those who are hungry and most in need."

"All competitions are governed by a standardized set of rules and regulations.  Each city’s entries are judged in a number of amusing categories.  All the local winners travel (on slide photography) to a panel of celebrated jurors who choose the year’s top winner in each category at the AIA Convention in May of each year.  The public is invited to come and see the giant canned art exhibitions on display in each city.  The structures are dismantled at the close of every exhibition and the thousands of pounds of food generated from each event are donated to the local food bank."

"The exhibit is open to the public at the BSA | Space & the Atlantic Wharf Building located at 290 Congress Street in Boston."

Upon decanstruction on November 2, 2013, the food used in the structures will be donated to the Merrimack Valley Food Bank.

Cronuts in Boston!

Well, actually, they were advertised as Crumbnuts at Crumbs Bake Shop by Dewey Square, but either way, they are still a cross between the croissant and donut, as are the originals of the "cronuts" craze of New York City.  Available in powdered sugar, cinnamon and sugar, or stuffed with Bavarian cream for $2.95, I went with the cinnamon & sugar version.  Crunchy sugar crystals, buttery layers, it was yummy, and something different.
