Sage Goes Tuscan with Ruffino Wine Dinner

Signs of spring abound at Sage where chef-owner Anthony Susi makes the most of all the fresh seasonal produce, partnering with Ruffino Wines for a five-course dinner built around bottles from their Tuscan estate. The fun starts at 6:30pm with a cocktail reception followed by dinner at 7:30pm. Among some of the spring dishes on the evening’s menu: potato gnocchi with ragu of ramps, mushroom and asparagus; and slow roasted sirloin with truffle potato puree and pea tendrils.

Thai Food in Newton

My wife and I ate at Jamjuli last night. It is a good middle of the road Thai joint. Nice when you are just too tired to cook, and need to fill the gap. I like the Beef Panang with a side of rice and some peanut sauce, a little on the spicy side, so the peanut sauce mellows it out. Have a great day, and don't live life full! Leave some room to keep tasting!-sean
