December 19th 2021: Lunch in Framingham, Dessert in Hopkinton

 Today, we decided to have lunch at the Buckley Kitchen and Bar, a pretty nice bar restaurant in the town of Framingham.

We got the BUCKLEY MAI TAI (dark/light rum, coconut, tropical juice),

the NICOISE (hard boiled egg, lemon and herb potato, green bean, evoo, seared tuna, spinach,

cucumber, parsley, balsamic dressing)

the CREAMY CHICKEN RIGATONI (tomato cream sauce, mushroom, bacon, roasted garlic, spinach).

and the Clam Chowder.

Pretty good food, fresh ingredients, the pasta not too sour, although the drink was a little strong for me. 

For dessert, we went to Muffin House Cafe, a non-descript place in Hopkinton, the Natick branch of which I visited once in the past and had a good muffin from.

We got the Blueberry, Pistachio,  Sweet and Sour, Banana Nut and Cranberry Apple Walnut, 

of which I liked the Bluebetty and Sweet and Sour the best, although the cranberry one was not bad too. Didn't like the pistachio and banana nut flavors though. Overall, not as good as the muffins from Jordan's Furniture in Avon.
