Boston Cream Pie Day

Today, Oct. 23^rd has the dubious distinction of being Boston Cream Pie Day. Its creation rose (pun intended) in the ovens of the gourmet kitchen of the Omni Parker House in Boston, MA. The Parker House has been serving their finest to the public since the mid-1800s. Some of their more noted guests have been Ralph Waldo Emerson and Charles Dickens. They have also been known to launch many a culinary career such as that of our very own Emeril “BAM” Lagasse!

The Omni Parker House does have on their website the recipes for both Boston Cream Pie and the famous Parker House rolls.

Last but not least, for a nightcap, I found a recipe also cited from the Omni Parker House, for the Boston Cream Pie Martini!

May your taste buds be happy as we do not count our calories today!
