Winging It

I've got  bit more on the wings, especially the right one, done.

Momma's Got A Brand New Bag

Another photo where the background detracts from the object, but the purse is awesome.  It's all leather, teal green, and has the tooled leather front.  It's not too big and not too small and has a lot of room inside.  I saw it in a store window on the Strand in Galveston and had to have it.  I'm using it now and am very pleased.

Cute Little Stars

Being a Texan, I like stars.  I like stars a lot, and I tend to collect them.  I managed to resist, for the most part, in Austria, until the sixth or seventh time we passed baskets of papier mache stars.  I finally gave in and bought these two.  Now to find a place in the house for them. 

It's All About The Beef

About eight of us went to Torro Grill one Friday night in November.  We'd heard a lot of good things about it, and finally just went.  It lived up to its reputation.  We had  beautiful meat tray drizzled with balsamic vinegar.  I had zeama.  (I miss zeama!  We haven't had -any- in the US, and chicken noodle soup just isn't the same.)  

What's special about Torro, though, is the beef.  They have the best steak preparation in Moldova outside of our parilla.  It's tender, flavorful, and cooked the way you order it.  With all that going for it, it's no wonder Buffalo Steakhouse is having problems retaining customers.  It also helps that the staff is friendly and helpful at Torro; something not found at Buffalo.

We had a wonderful meal and will be going back again once we get home.

Rounding Down

Worked through the halfway point and on the downward slope to completion.

Green Fencing

Some green, some fence, some progress.

Italian In Vienna

We were cold and had a little time to use up while by St. Stephen's Square in Vienna one late afternoon, so we ducked in to a little place just off the square.  It was Trattoria Santo Stefano, and we had a very pretty antipasto plate and a cappucino.  I thought they presented the sugar well, too.  It would have been a great place for dinner if we were there at the proper time.  Instead, we had a nice snack and got warm in pretty surroundings.
