December 7th 2021: Swedish and Italian in 1 Day

 Today, while at the IKEA in Stoughton, we had to get more of the Swedish food as always, this time getting the Salmon Fillet (sustainably sourced salmon fillet with a green chili hollandaise sauce, veggie medallion and seasonal vegetable),

and the Veggie Balls (with tahini Romesco sauce, rice pilaf and seasonal vegetables).

Cheap and good as always from this place.

For dinner, we decided to stop by the Olive Garden in Framingham, which I visited once a long time ago.

This time, we got the House Salad (Our Famous House Salad served with our signature Italian dressing),

the Shrimp Fritto Misto (Over a half pound of shrimp mixed with onions and bell peppers, hand breaded and lightly fried. Served with marinara and spicy ranch.),

the Chicken Marsala (Lightly floured grilled chicken breasts topped with savory mushroom and marsala wine sauce. Served with a side of fettuccine alfredo,

and the Shrimp Scampi (Shrimp sautéed in a garlic sauce, tossed with asparagus, tomatoes and angel hair).

The shrimp was a tad salty, with little shrimp to boot and more peppers and onions instead, not my favorite two things in the world. The marsala dish was interesting in that alfredo sauce was used for the pasta and marsala for the chicken alone, which was pretty good though, as was the scampi pasta dish. Overall, at least everyone enjoyed shopping for furniture today.
