The Great Plotnik

Food, Lights and Surrender



Thanks to Restaurants.com, three Plotniks discovered Osaka Restaurant on Fillmore Street last night. The coupons allow you to spend $2 for a coupon that subtracts $25 from your total bill, as long as you order enough food to meet the minimum, which is very easy to do when you're having sushi. Sometimes the restaurants aren't so great, but this one is a keeper, especially the teriyaki salmon.

To get there you walk down a little alley and in the middle of the alley is this beautiful old Victorian, all dolled up for Christmas.



The Great Plotnik has surrendered to the oxalis. You win. Come Spring you'll be gone and we'll see what has survived underneath -- probably everything.



Meanwhile, Providence, RI had 17 inches of snow yesterday! 17 inches! And BZ is here, he he he he he. The Brooklyn Plotniks are in the East until tomorrow, however, and they report they've never seen Brooklyn look more beautiful. Isabella, however, freaked out when attempting to walk in it, since she'd sink when she took a step. Mischief, on the other hand, simply lowered his rear end into the snow and smiled.

Interestingly enough, there appear to be two kinds of salt they use to remove snow in big cities, and one of them really hurts the paws of a dog. Luckily, in Not That Clinton Hill they use the nice salt, and for this we all say Thank You.

We need Brooklyn pictures - that's funny about Belly and Mischief and the snow.

I see no fear from your threat on the tiny little evil faces of the oxalis.

Good to know I'm moving to a such a dog-caring neighborhood. Now, if they were just a tad bit more caring about humans carrying co-op applications... (yes I can stay in my place legally until I move. And it would be less painful for everyone if that happened by Jan 10.)
