We at lunch before seeing Harry Potter on Andreas' birthday, too. The sports bar by the theater had fried pickles on the menu, so naturally, we had to have them. I missed this Texan treat and think I won't get it in Moldova, for some reason. The rest of the food was decent, too.
Mainly it was white last week that was the color of work. Still looking pretty empty, but at least worked on.
Andreas decided to have Italian for his birthday, so we went to Olive Garden with his parents. He had ravioli, I had chicken marsala, his mom had a pizza, and I'm not sure what his dad had, but it was good. All the salad and breadsticks and soup plus this made us very, very full before we left.
It also satisfied an Italian out craving of Andreas'. Uruguay's Italian restaurants are very adventurous with the cuisine and tend to twist it in odd directions. It's hard to get good, plain Italian unless you cook it at home.
Whenever I go to Houston, I stop by Universal Fabrics in West University. It's a huge fabric shop, but about half the space is taken up by trims of all sorts, and their button collection is awesome. These two pictures are of the stash I bought last month when we were in Houston for two days.
Finally, the last specialty stitches of part four are done. Now to concentrate on part five and complete it!
Andreas was amused by this sign at one of the local liquor stores. Evidently the signmaker got paid in kind.
Just a small stash for our move bought the weekend before we left. We also brought seven or eight bottles into the US with us for gifts.
