SC - Back from Boston

[Robin Carroll-Mann]

My lord and I had a wonderful time.  We did *all* the tourist stuff and 
then some.  I think my favorite place was the Isabella Stewart Gardner 
Museum.  A lot of spectacular period artwork to drool over.  On our last 
night in town, we had the great pleasure of dining and conversing with 
Mistress Christianna.

ObFood: Boston has no lack of wonderful restaurants.  The best meal 
was in a tiny cramped little storefront place in the North End called "The 
Daily Catch".  Their specialty is calamari.  The two ladies sitting next to 
us had a large skillet between them, from which emanated heavenly 
odors.  We asked what it was, and were told it was Lobster Fra Diavolo. 
 We glanced at the menu, but when the waiter came, we pointed to the 
skillet and said, "We'll have that."  In addition to an entire lobster, it 
contained shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams in a spicy red sauce 
over linguini.  Although we did our glutonous best, there were still 
leftovers when we staggered away from the table.  (It is a very good 
thing that we walked a LOT while in Boston, or I might have come back 
three sizes larger.)
