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.

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.

Ukranian Food!
What better way to support Ukraine than to go to a Ukrainian restaurant? That's what we did as a group early this month as we went to Hutorok on Vasile Alecsandri street here in Chisinau. The food was awesome, especially if you like pickled apples and watermelon. Several people had rabbit, which they all gobbled up. Andreas was one of them. He also had a Greek salad. The salads aren't as good as the summer because we're on the last part of lack of veggie season. I had a beautiful smooth and creamy mushroom soup and chicken. For some reason, there isn't a photo of my main course. I also got and shared bacon wrapped fried cheese. Talk about something that should be done more often....
And the desserts (the last three photos) were enough to come by for themselves. I had cherry pierogies. I love fruit flavored pierogies. I'm not at all fond of the savory ones. We'll definitely be back.
