Framingham Sub Shop & Pizza

November 1st, 2008

Ethan and I walked down to the library Sunday and forgot the don’t open until 2, since we had some time to kill and were hungry, we decided to check out Framingham Sub & Pizza.
The place is small but has plenty of tables, although no one else was in there.  We got a small cheese pizza and waited about 10-15 minutes until we were called up to retrieve it.  


The look and taste of this was what reminded me of skating rink pizza.  Which is okay when you’re 12 and just grabbing a slice in between songs but we found this to be disappointing.
It was almost like it was made from a kit.  I don’t know how else to describe it.  I know everyone has bad days so maybe this place was having one, but I don’t know. I would actually come back and try their subs though out of curiosity.
Although with Anastasia’s also downtown – it’s hard not to go there (they’re closed on Sunday’s)

I love this time of year

Today Ethan and I were waiting at the Rt. 9/Temple St. traffic light and saw this guy on his motorcycle with some sort of mask/wig combo.  It’s funny how this is acceptable in October but any other month this guy might get pulled over. Who knows, maybe he did soon after we saw him but it’s good to see people in the Halloween spirit 🙂

Slow Going

October 23rd, 2008

We walked down to the Main St. bridge the other day and saw some encouraging signs of activity.  There is a tent in the background that I’ve seen lit at night so it seems people are working on this into the evening. iver p ivermectina 6 mg precio
Here what we could see from the fence:

I’ve heard  it will just be a pedestrian bridge but it looks like they’re getting it ready for auto traffic too, we’ll see.   I wonder of the people who live at the base of the bridge on either side can’t wait for this to open or if they’ve enjoyed the quiet of no cars coming down their street.   This project has been taking years, I don’t even know how many,  to complete. ivermectin injectable goat does  It’s good to see some progress though.

Han Dynasty

October 19th, 2008


I had never been to Han Dynasty because the only thing I knew about it was that my dad threw up after eating here once a long time ago.  It may sound silly but Ethan and I noticed they got a new sign and out of curiosity, decided to go check it out.   Besides, I’ve been eating at Pago Pago since I can remember so I’m up for trying anything.
Ethan took this picture during the day but we went on a Friday night and only the lounge is open so we went in there and observed the regulars, table hopping and playing Keno.

I lightened these pictures a little because it was pretty dark in there but it’s a great lounge for…lounging, there are booths also, so we sat at one and started looking over the menu.  I thought since we clearly were not regulars that we might get bad service, especially without ordering alcohol but our server was very nice.
We got a few dishes to split and take home:
Rice:

Terriyaki Chicken:

Green Beans with Pork:

General Gau’s Chicken:

I don’t know if it was because our expectations were so low coming into this place but everything we got was  pretty decent.  The only disappointment might be the General gau’s because it lacked flavor but everything else we took home.
This place certainly isn’t a replacement for Green Tea II, but I guess it was a pleasant surprise that we didn’t look at each other in horror when the dishes were brought to the table.   I’d also like to add that neither of us threw up 🙂

Ch-ch-ch Ha-ha-ha

October 17th, 2008


We took a walk down Union Ave tonight and saw this very cool Mike Myers display.  I’m a Jason girl myself, but I thought this was awesome and actually would like to look into how to get a figure that looks that good in our yard (Ethan agreed as long as it’s not up year round.)
Mike also looks especially spooky at night!

Stearnes Resivoir No. 1

October 10th, 2008


I was riding my bike home from work today and had to stop and take this picture of lovely Stearnes Res. (No.1) from Salem End Rd.  There was a person in a boat on the water when I took this, you can barely see it, but I can imagine the view from the water must have been really nice too.
Anyway, just thought I’d share some prettiness in Framingham.
