Breakfast At Pegas

When we ate dinner at Pegas as a group, I remarked that their breakfast menu looked good.  The guys said that they were -not- ever going to get up early enough to go out to breakfast on a weekend.  Thus, a ladies only breakfast on a Sunday morning.  We enjoyed ourselves!  A lot of this stuff was shared.  I tried the "cottage cheese pancakes".  They did have cheese in them and were served with a side of sour cream.  Good, but odd to American tastes.  We don't expect our pancakes to have any sour.  Next picture is some kind of Ukranian dish.  It was basically a very thin layer of scrambled egg rolled up and cut.  Tasted just like it was, too, but very pretty presentation.  The other ladies had eggs, tomatoes and cheese, but I'm not much of an egg person.  The baked camembert at the bottom was sooo delicious, though, and so artful!  The red is a raspberry coulis and the fruit is pears.  Definitely something to have again!

Dickens On Hold

Yup, I'm close to being done, but.... I've run out of thread.  Now to wait for it to get here!

More Color Homework

Another whole set of squares to do with different color schemes.  Done with all but one.  I think I'll make these into biscornu.  The pattern is a freebie from a French blog.

Back To Green Hills

 On a Saturday in late August, we had dinner at Green Hills Cafe on Stefan cel Mare again.  Andreas, being adventurous, had exactly what he had the previous time - Greek salad and schnitzel.  I had zeama and "tower salad".  It was - different.  I have no idea why a glob of mayonnaise is considered dressing here, but it is - and it's really not great.  The rest of the salad was pretty good, though.  Well, perhaps the large spray of dill could have been taken away.

Four Squares

I'm done with these four squares.  I'll probably make them into ornaments.  The colors were chosen for a color theory class I've been taking.  At least they worked up somewhat quickly, but doing four of the same thing of anything at the same time is hard for me to do!

More Green Bits

I am almost done with the shutters and the trees are growing.  I even got some of the peach plaster filled in.

Back To Buffalo

 We went back to Buffalo Steakhouse last month.  It will be our last visit for a while - they had a fire and flood, so are remodeling.  While there, I had zeama (beautifully presented and no bones!) and Andreas had Greek salad.  His iced tea looked more like iced tea than normal, and he says it tasted pretty close to sweet tea. I had a beef salad as my main course, and it was good - had more beef than most other beef salads in the area.  I still wish they served other than mayonnaise or oil and vinegar for salad dressing around here, though!  Andreas had a burger.  This is his favorite place in Chisinau to get one.
