Drinks are on the house

Back in June 2008, I wrote about Pino, a tiny restaurant and bar near our house with a very innovative menu. I'm happy to say that it's still open and has actually been featured in a local TV show, which I hope means that they'll get even more customers so they'll continue operating. After watching another play last week, my husband and I decided to stop by for a beer and some bar chow (their Tempura Oyster Pearls are yummy!). We sat outside since it wasn't too hot and humid. Looks like humans aren't the only creatures who use Pino as their watering hole.

    THAT is a brilliant shot, Hilda. Perhaps the bar could use it on their menu/flyers.

    The cat is like flowing, like no bones...
    As I have a cat, usually the best moments are when you have no camera. You were lucky one.

    Hilda, It looks like the tail end of that watering hole:) I hope you and your husband had a nice and relaxing dinner. 'Fantastic and Award Winning photo' Bottoms Up...

    Hilda, the shot was slowly loading so I didn't see the tail at first and it took awhile to get it that it is a ginger kitty. Wonderfully seen!
    Your description of the chow made me hungry. Time to go cook dinner!

    That is a cute rear end if I ever saw one. And I like that he is drinking from the same water the bamboo is growing in. I guess it is bamboo. I want to plant some smaller, clumping bamboo this summer. Wish me luck in getting my girls to dig the holes for me.

    Thanks for your visits and comments, Hilda.
