Hey there! I am surviving Midterm Madness. Just barely. I handed in the first draft of my thesis on Monday and I have two tests tomorrow…and then I am officially on spring break! 
Tonight was sort of a cause for celebration. Last. Midterms. Ever! Errr, last undergrad midterm studying session ever. Whatever. Hannah and I headed over to Pommes Frites for a little pick-me-up.
Pommes frites are Belgian fries that are, in sum, heaven on earth. They’re big, fat, twice-fried fries. They’re perfection. Pommes Frites, the restaurant, just happens to be a five minute walk from my apartment. I haven’t been in quite some time, but these fries were on my mind and tonight was the night for my fix.
They offer about a million dipping sauces to choose from. I’ve had probably 75% of these listed! My favorites are the pesto mayo and the pomegranate teriyaki mayo.
The place is tiny but is chock-full of potatoes. Obviously.
Our frites!
Tonight’s selection: lemon dill mayo, rosemary garlic mayo and sundried tomato mayo. All fantastic. My favorite was the sundried tomato. We also had some classic ketchup + mustard.
Are you drooling yet? 
Such a good way to end a long weekend/few days of straight studying!
I am a little worried about my midterms tomorrow. One is on political + economic development and the other is on bureaucracy + public policy. I’ve been a complete slacker all semester and have a bad case of Senioritis, so I’m not sure how I will do. Plus — how about this weather?!? It has been so distracting! I would obviously rather be out walking around in 60 degrees than cooped up in my tiny room studying! Anyway, enough blabbing — moral of the story, I did study a lot so hopefully I’ll do alright.
Tomorrow will be celebratory Taj, then work Thursday and straight to Boston to see Kev! I promise that I’ll have some great recipes next week…I already have a couple picked out I’ll need something to get me through a week of hardcore thesis work, after all. Also, I am dying to try Coppa in Boston. Hopefully Kev and I will get a chance to go so I can review it here. Coppa is by the same owner as Toro, my #2 favorite place in Boston (second to Grotto), so I know it’s got to be good. Yum yum yum. Can’t wait!
Buona notte!
