Yesterday we went to Efendi’s restaurant for dinner. He opened a new place a couple of years after closing the one he ran for some time. This one is on Atwells Avenue in Cranston and is smaller than the previous one. The flair of the place is still the same.
Dinner at Efendi’s
We decided to share a calamari and Caprese salad with tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. Mina liked both starters, especially the stack of tomato slices with mozzarella cheese but had a good number of calamari rings as well. For the main course, we ordered two chicken shish kabobs with two bamboo sticks holding six pieces of chicken. In the end, we could not finish them all and brought one full order back home for tonight’s dinner.
At the dinner table, I taught Mina to hum a stem glass by slightly wetting the fingertip and slowly rubbing it on the rim. She enjoyed the new trick, I needed to remind her the others in the restaurant might not like the noise!
To Newport Creamery for Ice Cream
After dinner, Mina wanted ice cream at Newport Creamery and ordered a “make your own sundae” with black raspberry ice cream, chocolate jimmies, strawberries, and gummy worms, a rubbery candy. Afterward, she declared that gummy worms were gross! I don’t think she will order gummy worms again.
And A Movie
After we came home, I put on a video from Netflix, Wings of Life. It was about all the birds, insects, bats, and butterflies and how they help pollinate the plants and benefit from the work they do. We did not finish it all since it was getting late, it was bedtime …
Here are some moments from last night.
