This is a "drive-by" shot of the restaurant that we ate at this weekend while visiting with Jaron. It was an Asian eatery named Mandalay. Rick enjoyed cashew chicken, Susie had tofu with veggies and an unusual Bermese hot tea, Teresa came along and had seasame chicken, and Jaron choose a very spicy dish called curry chicken.
