Hey all... Since we got back from our short trip to Boston and back to campus to start the new semester I got out of the swing of checking in here. Been thinking about you all and just took some time to read a few recent posts. Everyone seems to be okay and Kambree made it through a big surgery... I'll find time to catch up on everyone over the next few days. There's a lot to read!!!
I've been wanting to share our dining experiences in Boston with you all. We enjoyed everything we tried at the suggestion of some friends who used to live there.
Thursday we had dinner at Figs and had a constructed salad with green beans & roasted peppers, and a pizza. Enjoyed it! Call ahead for a table if you go.
Friday, we were pure tourists. Ended up eating Greek food from Quincy Market for lunch and checked out Mike's Pastry mid afternoon but didn't order anything because we didn't want to spoil our dinner plans. We met SIL and her family at Laurel's Bar & Grill for dinner. I had the Pre Fixe of Shrimp Risotto, Steak with Blue Cheese and veges and Key Lime dessert.
Saturday we picked up our son from camp in NH and then the pièce de résistance - dinner at Blue Ginger. Chef Ming was there and came out to meet us because our son asked if he could have his menu. Ming spent a bit of time talking to us and I took a photo of him with our son. (Need to get that uploaded.) We shared two appies... Ming’s Tea-Smoked Salmon & Beef Carpaccio with Fresh Wasabi Emulsion and Shiitake-Leek Springrolls with Three Chile Dipping Sauce. My entree was Mom’s Famous Three Vinegar Sautéed Organic Shrimp, Son had Sake-Miso Marinated Alaskan Butterfish and Hubby had Asian Lacquered Poussin with Tamarind-Hoisin Sauce. We shared two desserts - Key Lime Tart with Toasted Meringue and the Sesame Macadamia Caramel Nut Tart and a bottle of wine - Craggy Range, Sauvignon Blanc. Very good all around... great service and great food!
Sunday we went to Fenway and Chicago won - we were happy it was a friendly crowd... then we had burgers at Rattlesnake Bar & Grill.
Happy to be home and getting back to my routine that will include checking in here!
