Oscar's Restaurant

Our weekend in Iasi was actually a group event with a lot of people from the embassy.  It was basically a chance to get out of town and relax.  We had a group dinner at Oscar's Restaurant, which had gotten great reviews on Trip Adviser.  I think everyone but Andreas agreed with the reviews.  He was put off by the smoke and that the menu wasn't well organized - a problem he should be used to by now.  Andreas' Greek salad was huge and had eggs, unusually.  My stuffed chicken was also ginormous and very tasty.  It was hot, too, despite our large group.

 I got a side of grilled veggies.  I didn't know the side was going to be large enough to be a meal in itself. They were hot, too, and not too oily.  Andreas had chicken tocana, the typical Moldovan dish.  I think this was part of his reason for dissatisfaction  - he didn't try something different.  Other people had trout and rabbit, two of his favorites, and loved them.  Tocana is just bland.

To The Stucco

It felt good working on some non-green colors.  I've gotten several rows now that end with the house.

Pretty Hot Chocolate

Andreas' hot chocolate from when we were waiting to go to dinner in Iasi.  Little Texas does hot chocolate well.

Finishing The Rectangle

One border done, and some bucket handles too!

Filling The Edges

Working on getting these bargello areas filled in.

Breakfast At Little Texas

 Breakfast is included at Little Texas, a hotel in Iasi.  This is where we tend to stay.  They do try to be Texan, but.... they don't quite have it down.  The boiled eggs were English style, soft and runny on the inside.  The hash brown was mashed potatoes formed and fried.  Bacon.... was what they call bacon in this part of the world.  Andreas' scrambled eggs were actually scrambled and my cappucino was pretty good, too.

Close To The End

I am almost all the way to the end of this - only a few more bands to go.  Yay!
