Trip to Connecticut

It was a windy day today, so no trip to see the tree colors. Instead, we made a quick trip to one of RICHEST towns in Connecticut. Trees started changing the colors, but you can still see greens a lot. We wanted to buy some fall/winter jacket for the season, but we did not get lucky to find one we like.
Next stop - Stew Leonard's. Based on TripAdvisor.com, it is the most popular spot/attraction in Connecticut... We usually go to a different outlet in NY, but this is the original. They are famous for their dairy products - not to mention their ice creams, but this season, you can see a lot of pumpkins - no Kabocha today though.
They have very unique display/design in the store, which makes it difficult to find something, or it takes longer time to finish the shopping process. But again it is very entertaining - there are a lot of "tasting spots" to try their promotional items, and kids like to be there, I guess.
We bought sword fish, which looked good for dinner. We simply grilled, but made "special" sauce with rosemary, lemon (both zests and juice), garlic and olive oil. I have never cooked this fish before, but boy it came out PERFECT. We have decided to add this dish to the list we will make again. Agree?
