September 6th 2020: Francesco's , Brimfield

 After visiting Nguyen Farm at 17 Carriage Drive in the town of Brimfield for some fresh quail and quail eggs, we decided to have lunch at Francesco's an Italian restaurant in town. Simple menu and decor,

of which we got the Shrimp Scampi, over Linguini,

and the Veal Marsala with Ziti, 

which came with a Tossed Salad and Chicken Noodle Soup.

The salad and soup were just alright, although the pasta dishes were actually pretty good. Maybe it's just because we haven't eaten out in a long while.

 

May 16th 2015: The Great New England Air Show, Chicopee

My friend and I woke up early today to head all the way to the town of Chicopee

Sphere 19 Church Street

for the Great New England Air Show, held at the Westover Air Reserve Base. I have wanted to come here in the part to check out the Tower here, but have not been able to do so as it is a restricted area, at least not until now.

A pretty big base, with lots of planes in display today.

Once we were done, we headed to Cana Korean Restaurant in town for lunch. A decent place with okay decor and somewhat small menu,

We got the Table BBQ Combo for 2, consisting of Scallion Pajeon (Korean pancake with scallions),

the Vegetable Stone Pot Bibim-Bap (Vegetable Bibim-Bap (White rice topped with vegetables, egg and gochujang (chilli pepper paste) ) served in a hot stone bowl),

the Pork Belly,

the Beef Bulgogi,

to be fried on the table BBQ provided,

coming with side dishes as well,

and finally the Fish Shaped Ice Cream Sandwich ( filled with vanilla ice cream and red bean paste) for dessert.

Not bad, especially the rice and the red bean dessert, although I had hoped the dessert would look more fancy.

After lunch, we decided to head to Brimfield, where we had passed by the ongoing annual Brimfield Antiques Show earlier this morning on the way to Chicopee. We walked around a bit perusing the sometimes quaint and unique wares,

but could only cover half the place before getting tired of it all and heading back to the car.

Not willing to wait in traffic, we decided to head to Quabbin Park in Ware instead, enjoying the sights there before finally heading home for the day.
