Favorite Central Mass. restaurant? El-Basha. I love this restaurant because I am Lebanese, and growing up, my favorite homemade meals were when visiting my grandparents’ house and they would cook authentic Lebanese food for me.
After months of pandemic life, have you realized you want to work from home more? Personally, I hate working from home. I find myself much more efficient working in the office due to less distractions.
