Legal Seafood Gift Cards

During the 2015 holiday season, Legal Seafood is once again offering a free lobster dinner with a purchase of $200 worth of gift cards.  The free meal needs to be redeemed by March 31, but that's totally do-able.

Nice deal!

But Costco offers a package of $100 worth of gift cards for a discounted price of $79.99, and that's every day.  You just have to have a Costco membership.

Food Find: Coconut Jam

At the airport on my way back from St. Maarten's, I picked up this coconut jam at the gift shop.  I imagined it would be a smooth spreading jam, instead, it was filled with actual coconut shreds.  Spread thinly on a fresh slice of warm toasted bread, it was like eating a coconut macaroon for breakfast!  Antilles Spice Clipper's coconut jam - a nice taste of the tropics in the midst of winter's chill.

Sadly, however, a search online turned up no local sources for this tasty spread.

Food Truck 2015: Chili, Mango & Lime and The Roving Lunch Box

With the season winding down, I was a bit surprised to find another new to me food truck.  And not just one, but two!

Chili, Mango & Lime Truck

The Chili, Mango & Lime truck serves up Thai, Bangladeshi, and Halal.

 Parked right next door, also at the City Hall Plaza that Monday, was The Roving Lunch Box.

Their specialty is the hand pie, in both savory and sweet variety, which can be made into a $9 meal with the addition of a small soup or salad.

I selected their Roasted Butternut & Browned Butter Sage savory hand pie, which was $5 for one, or $9 for two.

It came with some pickled vegetables, and was a good size for a snack, but for a meal, you'd definitely want to supersize it one way or another.

Food Find: Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars

Yasso's Peanut Butter Cup yogurt bars are SO GOOD!  But rather hard to find... 

May the odds ever be in your favor.

Food Find: Yogurt Candy

Meiji Chelsea Yogurt Scotch Candy.  Yum!

First Peek inside Boston Public Market

Boston Public Market's Grand Opening is on July 30th - that's tomorrow.

But I heard that they were having a soft opening today, so of course, I headed on over for a bit of a preview.
