...pathetic) foray into the postseason, Mass. natives and those who have adopted the BoSox during their tenure in Cambridge gather in the T.V. room at Loker. Those in classes letting out at one had just enough time to select their 5 items, swipe their card, grab their condiments and moist towelette, and dash to the television in time for the 1:07 p.m. first pitch. Had the line been any less efficient, fans might have missed not only the first pitch but also Mo Vaughn's towering first inning opposite field home run on Tuesday...

...enormous shrimp are chargrilled and split open on top of a healthy portion of shredded fennel, red cabbage, and black olives. Lightly dressed in vinaigrette, the salad tops a circular "pancake" of ground garbanzo beans. The pancake is strangely savory with a crisp and lightly fried exterior and a moist and tender interior.
