Toblerone

Toblerone. A very old chocolate maker, created over 100 years ago in Switzerland (now owned by a US based company).  Well known, but at least for me, not entirely commonplace, although I first encountered the brand many years ago, when I participated in selling them as a school fundraiser. I've somehow never reviewed it before, so when I recently received a bar as a gift, I was mostly excited to have something new to review (and try). I liked...

Alden & Harlow, Boston, MA

Update Review, July 2019 Visit Another visit to the Boston area, and another group meal at Alden & Harlow, which I've reviewed twice before (in 2017 and 2016).  This time, our group size was a bit larger (5), and I was the only person who had visited before.  I enjoyed sharing the unique experience with the others. Feast! Our group ordered a large assortment of drinks and dishes.  We opted not to stay for dessert (although they had a...
