Shamrock Shakes and Fancy French

It has been a busy week for us, and a festive one in Boston!  Jason's aunt and uncle were in town from New Brunswick promoting seafood at the International Seafood Festival so we went to Boston on St Patrick's day, we drove in to see them. 

On our drive, Jason had a craving for Shamrock Shakes (I had never heard of this before) so we pulled into McDonald's at a highway rest stop to get one of these flourescent green shakes....apparently they only have them around St P's day....
I couldn't quite figure out the flavor but if I had to name it, I'd call it "Vanillamint". Jason was very happy. I was amused. I think my favorite is still the Strawberry Milkshake. When we finally got to Boston, his aunt and uncle were busy so we decided to get a quick bite at Petit Robert's, a french bistro. It was OMGood. Everything about our meal was divine. 
French onion soup and mussels
Roast Lamb Shank with white beans and other yummy deliciousness. The dish that is closer in the photo was a phenomenal Ratatouille. 
We finished off with a coffee and chocolate mousse!

If you live in or near boston, we give Petit Robert two thumbs up!
