We decided not to go anywhere for Christmas this year, so I made a plan for some real Boston fun. We have reservations for Christmas Eve night at the Parker House, home of (you guessed it) the Parker House roll and also the Boston Cream Pie. Malcolm X worked there and JFK was a huge fan. It is consummately Boston.On Christmas Day, we're having what promises to be an amazing 5-course, prix fixe dinner at the Beacon Hill Bistro, about which the Boston Globe had this to say:
"The food and feel of the restaurant are like a soft but seductive melody, insinuating itself into your memory, calling you back."
I can't wait.
We'll let you know how it goes.

Zowie. You guys are pretty durn classy! I checked out the menu and the hazelnut encrusted goat cheese had me thinking about a roadtrip ...
Have you gone all fancy pants on us?
New England's turned ya'll into aristocrats already? I knew that place was dangerous.
Big deal. We're going to Cracker Barrel and the Super 8.
Hey everybody: We're the same tacky people you've known all this time; we just have a little more money to throw around these days. I imagine there will be plenty of unintentional faux pas during dinner.

Somehow, I now have visions of Steve Martin drinking wine from the 5-gallon dispenser in The Jerk and saying something to the affect of "It is so nice to be able to afford class"
Wow, did Laura tell you about the 5-gallon dispenser? It's like you've known me your whole life.....

Marcia: You might find it interesting to know that Malcolm X was once a busboy in this hotel. I guess all that opulence really got to him...
