Politicians + vegan chili in Bayside
At last night's annual Bayside community dinner held at the Boys & Girls Club, Alex Landry (left) was elected chair of the neighborhood association's steering committee. He takes over from Ron Spinella (right), who owns 3 Fish Gallery and has been a tireless champion of Bayside and our downtown neighborhood for a number of years.
Chris Danse (left) made a delicious vegan chili, plus a chili con carne for the omnivores. Other wonderful offerings included mac and cheese (which Susan McCloskey is serving), corn bread, gluten-free corn bread and salad.
Rep. Herb Adams (left) and Justin Alfond (right), who's running for state Senate, both joined us for dinner. Our City Councilor Kevin Donoghue was there too, but he had to catch the 7:15 ferry for a meeting on Peaks Island and left before I could get a snapshot of him.
Not only did I enjoy good food and good company at last night's dinner, I was able to do a little shopping. I purchased a few spring bulbs and supported Nathan Clifford School all at the same time. That's what I call a sweet dessert!
