Rickabodcranes daily travels

It was another banner weekend for eating out over the weekend. On Friday we found ourselves on the North Shore again where we frequent a place that has the best pistachio ice cream I have ever had. Hodgies in Amesbury, MA is the place and I don't know how they make their ice cream so smooth and creamy but they do. By the way, there is another ice cream place in Stratham, New Hampshire called the "The Right Place" but it used to be a "Hodgies" until the name changed. Anyway, they have the same great ice cream here as well. Moving forward to Saturday... on to the Seafood Festival in Hampton Beach, NH as we have for the last couple of years. This year was a little bit different because we discovered a treat that we had never seen before. French fries that were covered with a garlic sauce and parmesan cheese. All I can say is we ate these very fast and fries don't get any better than this...Credit must go to Ronaldo's for serving up this tasty

I want to tell you about a restaurant that we have been to many times because of their fantastic Corn Beef Hash. You might think...What's the big deal? If you love this stuff you should really take a trip to Greenfields in Litchfield, New Hampshire. This isn't out of a can but home made with big hunks of corn beef and potatoes. There is one dish that my wife loves called "The Pot of Gold" that includes the home-made corned beef and eggs with a cheese sauce over the top. Bring your appetite. Another favorite is the Breakfast Burrito that is grilled and filled with eggs, veggies and bacon, ham or sausage. They have other standard breakfast items but we go for the best corn beef hash arround. Stardate 2010, March. Greenfields closed and was replaced by the seafood restaurant Woodmans. We will miss the corned beef hash at Greenfields:( We did try Woodmans and we were dissapointed. The seafood wasn't great and it was expensive for the money.
