Romanian Chinese

One of the reasons we went to Iasi was a hankering for Chinese food.  On our first night there, we ate at the Chinese place in the mall we had eaten at previously.  As usual, there's a lot of food on each plate, and it tasted pretty good too.

Getting Farther

The sampler is in the midst of a large cross stitch pattern now.  I've gotten nearly to the bottom of the band, but I haven't even started the three sheep.  Lots to do, lots to do.

Trains!

 Iasi, Romania, now has a train club!  And it was exhibiting at the mall.  There's a lot left to do with their layout, but it's good to see a club starting in such a place.

Quiz Night At Gallo Pub

We went to our first Hospice Angelus quiz night at Gallo Pub the second Wednesday of this month.  The crowd was raucous and fun and the money goes to a good cause.  While there we had dinner, too.  Andreas had a virgin pina colada, and I had gin and tonic and champagne (in separate glasses).  Each of us had a pizza too.  They were good, but not as good as Pizza Caruso.  It was the company we came to be with.

Cornering

I've made it to the corner!  Now all the corners are defined and it's time to work this properly.

Lunch While Shopping

 We were visiting a craft fair and the embroidery exhibit in Riscani with friends early this month and decided it was lunch time.  Knowing that Torro Grill was close by, we stopped in.  Andreas had his usual Greek salad while the rest of us shared a meat plate.  Torro's carpaccio is really good, as i the salami and proscuitto.  One of our friends had chili, which was really soupy.  I think Moldovans don't quite have the concept down yet.  Andreas and another friend had burgers.  They loved them and claim that the burgers are about the best in town.  I had some barbecued chicken.  The chicken was moist but could have used more flavor.  The company was good and the lunch was a great time out.

Back To Green

Back to doing bunches of green.  I -think- this tree is over halfway done.  I'll be glad when it's complete!
