Boston Bookclub

Because we like to write a lot of emails, because we have trouble reaching a consensus, because we're busy people, and, most importantly, because we all have fascinating insights into literature... we are making this space the space where we do all things 'book club.'

I think we're going with Sibling Rivalry as it best fit the theme of the book (and how!)
In London, there's a place called 'The Torture Garden' that would have been a good alternative as well, heh heh ;)
Looking forward to the Secret Santa!!!
Hello ladies,
My apologies for being incomunicado...I can do dinner on Tuesday...is the choice Sibling Rivalry? what time....was M&C a choice...i really like them too...but if Sibling has been decided I'm game as I haven't been there yet.

Let's go with Sibling Rivalry......I'll make a reservation for Tuesday.

I'm happy with Sibling Rivalry or chez Kelly, and am happy to bring wine, or anything else I can pick up after work. Rustic Kitchen is centrally located for some of us too, and he did have a rustic kitchen in his rustic cabin. Just throwing out another option....
Hi folks! A bit more discussion was had at Kath and Jim's xmas do earlier...
one idea that seems fitting to the storyline is Sibling Rivalry in the South End ;)
Though it is quite pricey with entrees in the $20-30 range, and I realize Santa's wallet is feeling a bit tight this time of year.

Alternatively, as I'm still peeved with the lack of Scandanavian dinging options in Greater Boston, I will happily crack open the Scandanavian cookbook I received for xmas last year and cook up something yummy - a nice baked salmon with some veggies and new potatoes on the side? Though it be a bit cheeky, a nice bottle of wine to help cover cost of salmon (which will get pricey to serve 7) would be nice. Or, we could just treat the grocery bill like a restaurant tab.

If keeping it at a restaurant is easier, we could just aim for somewhere more or less 'central' to folks driving / T-ing and seek out something in that Red Line Cambridge/Somerville/Arlington nexus?

My 2 cents is that I am willing to pay for fresh ingredient quality when it comes to Chinese food. MSG gives me quite the tummy ache = P

7th works for me...any of the places sound good to me.
Ahhh.... great news about the 7th! M&C works fine for me :)
Really into the book, too!!!
I can make the 7th and either place is fine with me. Mags, could you just stay in town if we decide to go to M&C? Or will we get done too late for you to catch a train home?
So we're doing the 7th then? Where did we decide?
Ok, don't hate me everyone! I can do the 7th. Let's stick with our original date, unless people can't make the 7th????
