"That's a great book!"
"Yeah, right!?!?"
"I wish I could be you right now,"
"Well, I've been you before..."
My waitress laughed as she walked away.
"I'm so glad we can recognize each other so easily in ourselves!"

Le Gamin Quiche
Leek, mushroom,Swiss & salad
Comfort food for me.
Sitting in the sun. "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" playing in the background.
This is what Germany must've felt in the mid thirties.
"What does the chef put into this quiche?It is the best thing I've ever had!"
"I know he uses the best butter. He has his cookbook here & doesn't mind sharing"
"No, it tastes like magic, there's a secret he doesn't include in the recipe. Does he sing to the eggs while he's beating them?"
"Actually, he uses aged pots & pans for everything. I'm a believer in history. Even though there's tin foil between the food & the dish, I don't know how the transfer happens,"
"Be my spy & capture everything he does. It's gotta be something!!"
"I'll try"
Also overheard: "My Mom's Puerto Rican & she's so passive about praise!"

Grassfields for Ghosts
Waltham restaurants are fair, chains and family friendly.
There was one that was especially terrible. On Moody Street. The waitress wasn't getting anything right, it took 2 hours to get out, and worst, the food was atrocious. The place was empty on a Thursday night, and still was a long and hard wait for anything to happen.
Grassfields is a good place for me to go, mostly because it has a lot of good & locals ghosts for me. My father, my work colleagues, everyone I've been there with. And lots of local color.
The food is good, the bread isn't bad and there is alcohol (usually nice & strong)
Dishes to recommend: scallops & steak tips, esp for lunch. Grassfields burger, and any drink with champagne!
Wait staff is friendly and the place is bustling enough to feel like you have company, even when you are by yourself.

80 Thoreau, Concord, MA
The BEST soup I have ever had!!
Rhubarb & pear & crabmeat!!
Brave Lucy as a drink & great bread. This was to celebrate the fact I had swum across Walden Pond 2 days earlier, in the coldest water I've ever been in, the latest I've ever done!! October 19!!
The Monkfish special!!
Finishing up with CORN ice cream (complete with Cracker Jack like garnish)
When the host tells you it's phenomenal, you listen!!
Thanks Vincent & Ashish!! ;)
Esme Dinner!!
$100 for 3 courses (2 drinks and tip too!!) and well worth it!!
Calamari (sweet!!) and my new favorite book about the Morris Jumel Mansion.
The waiter talked to me about it & we discussed writing.
The drink was excellent as well!
The Salmon. The best I've had in a VERY long time. Crispy on the outside & not overcooked!!
Cafe creame for dessert!!
Even their accidents are charming!!
