T is Just Down the Street and Over a Bridge (of Flowers)

Hi everyone. It is once again Tuesday, which means it is T Day. And welcome August. My husband always says that no month is faster than July except for August. I think he is right about that one.

Today  for T day  I am taking you on a worldwide journey .

Pocket your passport, skip the jet lag, and avoid that shady two-star hostel. The food you travel the world for is just down the STREET

A couple weeks ago I had an art day with a fellow blogger friend Corrine. Corrine and I live about, (give or take with the traffic), 45 minutes away from each other. After a morning of fabric painting we decided to go out for lunch and headed to this great restaurant in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Here's how they describe themselves on their website. (The highlighted quote above is also from their website.)

                     " STREET is an eclectic, casual restaurant and cocktail                     lounge that satisfies both your hunger and your wanderlust.                     From falafel to phở, burgers to bibimbap, we serve the                       world’s most flavorful street food in one lively place. And with                a global palate of beer, wine and cocktails, the bar at STREET                  is one of the hottest evening destinations in Portsmouth, NH."

                          I've taken you here before, but this time I did remember                                          to snap a photo. We both had Korean bibimbap with steak.                                And to drink I had an unsweetened ice tea and also a glass of water.  Actually Corrine had the same, so it was easy for our waiter.
             (Who by the way happened to be a former student of mine. I can always           tell a former student when they walk up to the table and give you this long                     look. Of course since I teach high school by the time I see them                    they are  usually so grown up I can't recognize them any more, but our                 waiter was nice enough to share his name and I recognized his curly hair right away then.)

This photo is making me hungry. :)  The base is sticky rice and there are mushrooms, zucchini, carrots, scallions and lots of other delicious additions to this dish.

Of course this time I forgot to take ny photos of Corrine and myself, so I guess I can never be quite compete. LOL.

Stop by  Bleubeard and Elizabeth's  blog to join in and see what the T Gang has been drinking, eating and maybe even up to lately.

Also today I want to thank Linda K for the gorgeous ATC card she sent me for the T Day swap.

It came in a great envelope.

And also included a few little goodies.

Thank you Linda for such a beautiful ATC and all the little ephemera too. They will come in useful, as I am sure you know. :)

And finally some more blooms from the Bridge of Flowers. I showed you some of them the other day which you can check out here if you wish

Unfinished and Bridge of Flowers blog post.

I think the light drizzle and grey day made the colors pop even more.

I still want to know how they are able to keep so many flowers blooming at the same time. I am guessing they must replant over the course of the season. Whatever they do, it was gorgeous.

I have a few more photos I will show you Thursday since tomorrow is lookback day for Second on the Second.

Happy T day and your visit is much appreciated.
