LUNCH IN BAYSIDE WITH THE KIDS

Eunice tossed the coin!  She and I got to take the chickies out again.  I have a feeling that the coin had the same chicken head on both sides.  We took Ethel Louise and Mildred to a restaurant in Bayside.  We figured that since we had gone to Press 195 in Rockville Centre we might as well go to the one in Bayside and meet the Executive Chef Brian Karp.

Ethel Louise and Mildred took a look at the Children's menu.  Mildred was curious about the homemade chicken fingers since they don't have any.  Eth just closed her eyes to it.

It turned out that they ordered it.  Eunice and I were a bit disturbed to see it. Then  again, it wasn't our finger being used!

The restaurant was recommended by our friend, Merle.  We spoke with this kind waitress, Kaitlyn Martinez, who was quite helpful.  However, I think she made a mistake when she brought a plate of Buffalo Chicken Wings....and she knew it!

 We were all pretty hungry and also wanted to sample different sandwiches.   Since turkey is not chicken there was no issue in ordering the Thanksgiving sandwich using a knish instead of bread.

There was another one that looked great....named after Brian's mom that had brisket in it...try saying, "A box of brisket. A box of mixed briskets. And a brisket mixer"  Fast....three times. LOL

Lastly was a sandwich that we missed having in Pittsburgh.  Had the cole slaw and Belgian fries in the sandwich!!

We were really full and all had a good time. 

A DAY ON LONG ISLAND

Eunice and I spent a wonderful day on Long Island, New Yolk.  It's a pretty big place consisting of two counties; Nassau and Suffolk.  We were in the Southern part of Nassau .  Having visited the Phileggdelphia Pretzel Factory in Regging, we found one in Bellmore.

Joe, the owner, gave each of us a bite sized pretzel. He apparently works out and wanted to show off on his ability to life weights.  Hey, we're no spring chickens!

On to Rockville Centre to visit Center for Science Teaching and Learning. It's a science and nature center. Although the preserve has nature trails and other stuff, we were only interested in seeing the animals.  They had a replica of some dinosaur and we were told that it was our ancestor....right!

We decided to have  conversations with the animals to find out if they heard the same thing. Our first one was with an owl.

We then asked a pigeon who thought we were odd.  I don't know why.

Birds of a feather, flock together.  That's what we say.  How about the pheasant?

Eunice had to convince me to talk to a hawk.

Eunice thought it was hysterical when I talked with a goat because it wasn't a feather animal.  She laughed so hard that one of the humans had to hold her.

We had a few other conversations with them and they were quite friendly.

Time to go to lunch.  We found this nice place called Press195.  Chris, one of the owners, was real nice. 

Our last stop was to a place called Chocolate Works.  We were hoping to play a trick on a human and suddenly cluck at them when they were looking at one of the shelves. 

Just the thought gave us a tickle.  We had a great day!!!
