Esther resided at the Rubber Chicken Forest at the Twisted Oak Winery in California. She was taken home and enjoyed herself until she saw her twin sister's photo on an egg carton. Eunice was sent to New York to be with Esther. At first they did not get along as Esther was used to traveling alone. Now they travel together. The family expands adopting Ethel Louise at Chix R' Us and taking in Marilyn, a kleptomaniac, and Minerva, who have recently adopted baby Mildred.

OUT TO EAT
It's been quite a while since Eunice and I went anywhere. We've been busy hanging out with our new friends, Marilyn and Minerva. They haven't been out in public as yet so Eunice and I went to this wonderful Dominican restaurant in Queens called Gran Rancho.
We started with this dip that had onions, charred tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar and chipolte. It was served with yucca chips and plantain chips. A bit spicy, but good.
Appetizers of shrimp cerviche, octopus salad and a trio of empanadas...beef, chicken...looked but didn't eat...and one with guava and cheese.
Out came this drink in a pineapple. I think we sipped it too quickly. Didn't realize that Merle was there. She sat down at the table with her friends Deveka and Ernie. Merle was aghast. She didn't realize that we were only kidding.
We met the owner, Oscar Monegro. Continuing with our food...we had some oxtail and some goat dish. Later this guy came over to sing with his guitar.
All in all the food was great.
