New Toy

My husband is a fan of knives, so we went to Smoky Mountain Knife Works when we were in Tennessee.  I got a knife, too.  Mine is to carry in my purse as a security device.  It's nice and well balanced and definitely made for a smaller hand.  The knife will stay sheathed, and I can hang it around my neck or strap it to my leg if I want to.

Branching Out

I've now started both the man and the tree.  The question is - which will be done first?

Last Night In Moldova For Now

 I wanted to eat at Pani Pit before leaving Moldova, and we ended up postponing it until the last night.  Andreas wasn't very hungry and we were kind of rushed, so it wasn't quite as enjoyable as usual.  Andreas had the Greek salad and some mamalygia.  I had the zeama, berry steak, and a cappucino.  The food was very, very good and fresh.  I miss zeama, but now it's less than two weeks until we go home.




Little Flowers

Pretty little hairpins I picked up for a couple of euros each at the Vienna Christmas markets.

Anniversary Night

 For our anniversary in October, we went to Pegas.  Andreas had his usual rabbit pasta (he loves this dish) and Greek salad.  I am going to have to learn how to make that, so when we move he can still have it.  I had beef salad and carpaccio.  The carpaccio was excellent, though I wish they'd use a different cheese on the salad.  It's a slightly sour cheese and doesn't add to the salad overall.  



Winging It

I have started the angel herself.  She's coming along pretty well, though it will take a while to finish her.

Stitchy Purchase

This is the only stitchy purchase I made in Vienna.  I found the lace in a yarn shop; the yarn was not as extensive as what I had found in Frankfurt in September and nothing else really appealed to me.
