For people who didn’t make any plans, other than the Ben & Jerry’s factory tour (Spring Onion loved it), we had a great day. Started out with breakfast at Woodland Baking which was recommended by our neighbor friends in Arlington. The guys got the egg and cheese sandwich with bacon. B scarfed it down while SO nibbled his bacon (on the side) and barely had half of his sandwich. He argued that he must have slow metabolism, which explains his small capacity for eating. 
I got the samosa hand pie - nice crust, wanted more spicing in the filling. But still love a samosa for breakfast. Does anyone from the Greater Boston area who took the red line from Alewife remember the couple who ran the convenience stand smack dab in the middle of the concourse? I used to get a samosa nearly every morning for my breakfast, so it reminded of those days. Both B and I wanted hot sauce for our respective meals. We didn’t ask. Took the leftovers with us.
Headed to Ben & Jerry’s and the ice cream sample today was a new-ish flavor - mango with sweet cream. The funny thing is, both SO and B are OBSESSED with mangoes. B is known to buy cases of champagne mangoes at HMart so the guys were psyched. I lost my interest in ice cream around after I had Spring Onion, but this was a flavor I could get behind. Not-too-sweet, refreshing. The flavor graveyard was fun.
We thought about what to do next and decided, let’s go for the science museum in Burlington, not knowing what the crowds would look like. And we were pleasantly surprised! It seemed like a normal Saturday crowd at the museum and there was no discernible effects on traffic throughout town. And at the museum, B and SO got interviewed on the local (channel 3) news. The segment didn’t make it to tonight’s 6 pm broadcast but maybe 11 pm or tomorrow?! SO was a little disappointed - he even got himself all fancy for the interview by combing his hair with his fingers. 
We had an awesome late lunch at Burlington Beer Company. Beer was excellent, particularly the Totemic Might and Orbital Elevator. The food was great. Chicken tenders for SO, bulgogi nachos for B (the kraut-chi was fantastic), mushroom tart for me. I can never say no to mushroom dishes and once I heard this was NOT a quiche, I jumped on it. Delicious, with a shatteringly-good crust and loads of well-cooked down leeks. The citrus-y parsley ricotta whipped sauce was a wonderful accompaniment. Fun huge space in a beautiful old mill building. Arcade games! Lots of happy people. As usual, no clue what we’re doing tomorrow. 
I think we’re in for the night.
