———————————————————————————————————————
We were going to Barnes & Nobles in Jenkintown ( a good 20 minutes from Ivyland)
so I suggested to Michael we grab dinner at a nearby restaurant.
We ended up at Mirna’s Cafe in Jenkintown.

We started with grilled calamari which was ok.
the sauce was good but calamari nothing like our
favorite place in center city Philadelphia
(D’mitri’s)
|
 |
|
Michael ordered linguine with clams.
Same thing – it was OK – but not nearly as good
as our favorite local restaurant Taormina’s.

i tried their

MEDITERRANEAN COMBO:
Humus, Baba Ghanouj, roasted pepper, grilled portabella
Mushrooms and grilled eggplant over greens with feta cheese.
Mushrooms and grilled eggplant over greens with feta cheese.
the hummus & Baba Ghanouj were ok.
the other stuff – bleh.
Needless to say we won’t be rushing back to Mirna’s
or ever going back really……
I don’t like giving restaurants “bad reviews” but I like to be honest.
The other “humorous” experience tonight was the waiter:
“Don’t ask me to recommend anything” exact QUOTE……

|
the BEST part of tonight was the WINE. (byob)
Michael gave me this bottle for Christmas 2009.
It was lovely. One can NEVER go wrong with a RAMEY!

Bullock’s Oriole
this was a RARE sighting —
only 2nd reported male Bullock’s ever in Pennsylvania.
A family observed him in their backyard & invited bird watchers to come see him
Check out my friend Howard Eskin’s photos:

have you ever been tricked by a SEAGULL ??
i thought this bird only had ONE LEG — but
when I got out my camera to take his photo
he put the other leg down… as I walked
away, up it went & he was one-legged again.
Duped by a seagull….first time for everything!
