This Is Framingham

Last night we tried take out at Green Tea II (formerly Michi Kusa).
They brightened up the inside and as far as I could see, they have taken away the sushi bar, although sushi is offered on the menu.

We got crab rangoon, shrimp fried rice, scallops with coriander and something called four treasures in a basket.
Everything we got was very good, the person at the front desk was very nice and the order was correct when I got it home.
The four treasures in a basket actually came with an edible basket that they would present it in for dine-in customers.

Four treasures: The “treasures” are Beef, Chicken, Shrimp and Scallops with vegetables and a light brown sauce which was really good.  We enjoyed this dish very much.

Stir-fry Scallops with Coriander: This was listed under their “herbal menu” and I thought it was excellent.  The sauce is very light and doesn’t hide the taste of the coriander (cilantro) and scallops.

Crab Rangoon:   Pretty good, no dissapointments                                                  
  
Fried rice: Also very good, the picture doesn’t do it justice.  The rice isn’t nearly as bland as this picture makes it look.

Green Tea II is the sister restaurant to Green Tea in Newton.  I know people will say they’re sick of Chinese places popping up everywhere but I really like the food here so I’m glad  it’s here.
They have a website with their full menu posted: http://www.greenteaframingham.com/

Are you registered to vote?
Can I get your signature?

I have to get 25 signatures from registered voters in my awesome precinct to be nominated for re-election as a Town Meeting Member.   This April will be one year since I became part of town government.  It’s been an interesting 8 months so far and I’ve learned a lot.  I’d like to keep doing it if I can, but we’ll see what happens. ivermectin oral uk

My mom loves comfortable shoes and one of the few things she doesn’t mind paying “good money” for are quality, comfortable shoes.  For her Hanukkah gift, I got her a gift certificate to Panza Shoes (downtown across from Town Hall).
Mom usually looks for a wide shoe and Panza specializes in special sizes like narrow, wide etc…

When I went in there to get the gift certificate the guys working there were really nice and 30 minutes after I came in there I found myself sitting  down with them in the customer chairs comparing notes on Framingham restaurants.

When I said I was pleasantly surprised that this place seemed to be doing well, the manager said they get regular people that come from all over metrowest, newton and further because of their shoe selection.  He said old ladies that bought their shoes here 50 years ago now bring their grandchildren.  I noticed the whole time I was there that they knew every customer by name and would ask how their families are.  The guys said they think of it as “Cheers” because people come in and don’t just buy shoes, they sit for a while and tell them about all sorts of things going on in their life. ivermectin 1 50 ml   The manger said Panza prides it’s self on this and that “This is a sit down, take your time and find the right shoe kind of place.  If you just want a pair of shoes, go to the mall”. coupons for ivermectin     They seem to be so confident in their product and service that they don’t feel the need to update their decor.  They joked about that and said the only thing that changes in the store are the shoes.

It’s funny that this should be such a unique experience but I really feel like this is a little time capsule gem that we’re lucky to have downtown.  I’m looking forward to going with my mom to get the whole shoe fitting experince : )
