Hey, rachel! I lived in the Boston area for a few years, and I am very excited about getting back up there for linguica and other Portuguese goodies!

notdancingqueen – Thanks! Best of luck on your move as well – it’s a stressful but exciting time for both of us, I’m sure.

Jen, I *love* your site – I lurk on it all the time and revel in your great ideas. My family loves it when I cook from or riff off your recipes and methods! I had to laugh when I read about your move — we, too, are in the process of packing up our lives here in Metro DC and moving to somewhere a bit slower-paced — New Hampshire. Good luck with your move, and I look forward to reading about all the new tastes you’ll discover in New England. I’ve had a ball finding local food sources up near where we’ll be…yum yum yum!

Sometime from Providence, you must run over to New Bedford, MA and pick up some linguica (Portuguese sausage) — it’s amazing. Big Portuguese population there, you can get some excellent authentic food. Best of luck!

Thanks, Cindy! I’m actually really looking forward to checking out the shops and markets in Rhode Island. We’re totally spoiled here as far as how easy it is to get just about anything, so it will definitely be a change.

Jennifer even though I’ve been reading your blog just a few weeks I feel as if I’m moving and I’m missing the markets in NYC already ! I guess we just don’t have access to all the great ingredients here in Atlanta. Good luck with your move. I can hardly wait to find out what great things to cook with you scope out in your new hometown.

Thanks so much, everyone!

ann – our neighbors upstairs have been great with the outdoor kitties, so when we leave they’ll be in good hands! We’re hoping to get them a couple of these to replace the makeshift huts we have back there.

Terry B – I don’t know Susan but thanks for directing me her way!

Whoa! I'm surprised too, Jennifer! Good luck on the move and enjoy your new kitchen. Do you know Susan at Food "Blogga"? She lives in San Diego now, but grew up in Rhode Island. She would probably have lots of good info for you.

Ooh, ooh, ooh! What a great way of using fennel! The tart looks really delicious and I too will keep the base recipe. You can never have enough I think.
