Misers and Chang

Tonight, we resumed the tradition of Bo' Thanksgiving dinners with friends and gathered up in the South End. The restaurant was great, but the portions woefully controlled. I could have eaten every item on the menu and still felt peckish. What is it about tapas and small plates, people? If we want to do dim sum for reals, we'd head to Chinatown and eat the same amount of food for a third of the cost. Still, the company was great. I'm getting better about my Bo' nostalgia lately, especially since life in Boston has been going swimmingly, but those Thanksgiving dinners at the Bo' are cherished memories and sitting around with 5 old friends was just the thing I needed on such a cold night. (The whipping winds are an absolute outrage. I get mad just walking in the cold and letting my face take a beating from the wind.) The highlight of the meal had to be the Stop & Shop pumpkin pie Regis brought along because of course one would bring pie to dinner. Then just to show off his anatomy knife skills, he divided one slice into 6 more pieces (1/42th) and we each took a "pumpkin shot." Just the homey note we needed to end on at the contemporary Asian restaurant.
