A Day in Newton

I've been meaning to return these dresses to Bloomingdale's for ages. Finally got around to doing it today. 

First though, of course, is food. Richmond and I went to Comedor in Newton Centre for brunch. It features Chilean-inspired cuisine and is a small plates kind of place. Pretty cute, has an open (and rather small and kind of slow) kitchen.

I had strawberry lemonade (pretty tart) and Richmond had madres, which is a mixture of their fresh squeezed orange juice and their homemade cranberry juice, that he really liked.

For food, we had:

Latte doughnuts with spiced hot chocolate. Pretty good. I'm a sucker for fresh, warm doughnuts. The hot chocolate was too thick as a drink, but decent for a dipping sauce.

Fruit salpicon with whipped ricotta. I really liked this, but what a pain to eat out of this jar. I was spilling huckleberries everywhere.

Tomato ricotta griddlecake with a sweet corn salad. This was also really good and had a nice kick. That corn salad made this dish for me.

Smores french toast. I really wanted to love this. I enjoyed the french toast a lot. And the meringue was pure sugar and perfect. But the chocolate ganache was so overpowering for me. Maybe if it had arrived at the table earlier, I would have been more up for eating more of it.

But look at how that chocolate oozes out of there so perfectly.

I really enjoyed Comedor - small, light dishes are right up my alley. I left content and satisfied, and not bursting at the seams. I'd love to see how their dinner dishes compare. 

BONUS:

Gelato at Chestnut Hill Mall, after returning my dresses. Yay!
