July 21st 2015: Dinner at La Storia Trattoria, Stoughton

Today after work, I decided to use my deal at La Storia Trattoria, an Italian restaurant in Stoughton.

I got the Scampi e Fagioli (Prosciutto wrapped shrimp, Crispy spinach, white bean puree)

And the Siciliana Cioppino (mussels, Clams, Shrimp, Chef's fish of the day, spicy saffron tomato brodo, spring vegetables, crostini).

The appetizer was both interesting in concept and taste as well, partly because of the Crispy spinach, although the Cioppino didn't do it for me, tasting a little weird. Overall, good try, but with the so so ambience, I've had better.

Next, I stopped by a few places in Rockland,

And checking out the small Hanover Mall for a bit,
then finally calling it a day.

February 1st 2015: Watching the Super Bowl with Friends

I started out this freezing morning with breakfast at Leggos,  a diner at 120 North Franklin Street in Holbrook, getting a cup of Hot Chocolate,

A Handmade Strawberry Crepe

And a Don's Tropical Pancake ( Raspberry and Mango).

The fruit in the pancake was a little sour,  but the Crepe was really delicious.

Before heading to Easton to get some pizza from the Pizza Depot, getting the Ring of Fire Pizza (feta, Pineapple,  chicken,  jalapeños,  3 cheese blend)

And the Roman Bone In Wings.

The Pizza wasn't that good, and neither were the wings.

I decided to get more food from Pizza Market in Sharon, getting the Buffalo Mac and Cheese Pizza

And the Steak and Egg Sub.

Once again, Nothing special,  the Pizza tasting a little weird as well.

I had to wait a little for the Sharon Police and Fire Museum to open, but it was worth it, as it is the best collection of police and fire department stuff I have seen.
From here, I tried to visit the Little Red Shop Museum in Hopedale,

But it was closed today Unfortunately.

With that, I went to collect some pizza from Papa Gino's at 341 Cochituate Road in Framingham, then went to my friend's place for the rest Of the night To watch the Super Bowl. I'm really glad the Patriots won. Finally.
