Hubby’s trip down memory lane in New Hampshire

 We didn’t really plan for any stops during the drive from Massachusetts to Vermont except maybe the occasional gas or washroom break. But when we started seeing signs for Dartmouth, hubby started recalling the time he spent there. So, we decided to stop and have lunch at one of the local eateries near the university. Before we started to look for parking, we went for a drive around the campus. It was vast and not as clustered as Harvard. The buildings were almost as beautiful and historic as well.

We stopped for lunch at Molly’s—the joint Hubby used to frequent after a gruelling week in school. Although I was intrigued with EBA (Everything But Anchovies), we can only choose one place to eat. Hubby says that when you call EBA for delivery, you no longer had to tell them where to bring your order. They would be able to take your pizza down to your specific room in the dorm! Now, how’s that for service?! I wonder if they can deliver breakfast in bed…

We mostly ordered from the “Molly’s favorites” where I got fish tacos. My spicy fried haddock was crispy and fresh. The serving was ample. It was good although I’ve had better guacamole. The rice pilaf and black bean corn salsa were on the bland side, too. I took a couple of bites from my mom’s shrimp risotto which had a decent serving of tiger shrimps. The risotto was well-cooked with delectable creamy garlic butter. Hubby’s Buffalo wings were just ok. I still prefer Anchor Bar or Duff’s. Meanwhile, the girls enjoyed their kids’ meal of penne with marinara. We saved some room for dessert as we were headed to Ben and Jerry’s in Vermont.

All in all, the atmosphere was cozy with Dartmouth memorabilia. The meals were satisfying and service was also good. No wonder Molly’s is a local favorite.
