Basil Mint Creamy
The Basil Mint Creamy at Artifact Coffee caught my eye the first time I went to the cafe. Today, perhaps my third or fourth time there, I decided to give the drink a try. I couldn't resist trying it any longer.
The Basil Mint Creamy is basil syrup, trickling spring cream and spearmint, over ice. I consider it expensive at $4.50, but it was a treat and delicious.

Nacho Mama's owner dies in accident
The owner of Nacho Mama's died Aug. 24 in a biking accident in Ocean City. For whatever reason, I have never been to the Canton restaurant. Although, I suspect it may never be the same.
Good and plenty
It has been months since I last posted on this blog - far too long!
Baltimore is a foodie town with no shortage of good restaurants. This is a blessing and a curse because it can make what should be a simple decision of where to go to dinner very difficult.
The summer was packed with delicious food - from alfresco dining at Woodberry Kitchen and two festivals in Little Italy - to trying new restaurants, such as Stang of Siam (their panang chicken is out of this world) and Ten Ten (we were there last night!).
We dined with another couple at Ten Ten. The meal began by splitting the Charcuterie Plate (I recommend it - and it's certainly enough for four people to share). I had the Grilled Steak & Frites (grilled fairytale eggplant, duck fat fries, bordelaise) and my dining companions had the Grilled Shrimp and Grits (maple braised greens, crispy pork belly, organic three cheese-poblano grits) and Crispy Duck Confit & Frisée (frisee, warm lardons, balsamic figs, Smoked Moody Blue cheese, warm sherry-bacon vinaigrette) - both of which I tried and thoroughly enjoyed!
We also enjoyed the cuisine of two of our favorite restaurants, Mekong Delta and Iggies. You simply cannot go wrong at either place.
My husband and I spent many Saturday and/or Sunday afternoons this summer enjoying a cup of joe at Lamill Coffee and Artifact Coffee, the cafe that the owners of Woodberry Kitchen opened earlier this summer. My husband is a regular at Artifact Coffee - the staff knows him by name!
We enjoyed delicious ice cream cones at Uncle Wiggly's on a couple of the hottest nights this summer (I think that's when ice cream tastes best) with lines out the door and desperately want to check out Prigel Family Creamery.
We're excited about the September opening of Fleet Street Kitchen, located in the same Bagby complex off of Fleet Street as Ten Ten and Vino Rosina.
In an effort to push the envelope in what we're cooking at home, we've subscribed to bon appetit - there are so many delicious recipes in this month's issue that I can't wait to try!
As the summer comes to the unofficial close next weekend with Labor Day, I'm excited for fall - the weather and the cuisine. From pumpkin anything and everything (soups, pies) to pumpkin beer.
Bon Appétit!
This is the Peach Cobbler - cream biscuit, duarte plum sorbet - we had at Woodberry Kitchen earlier this summer. It was more than enough for two people to share and out of this world!
