Panaro's On Deleware Near Allen
Category: food
Panaro's on Delaware is my very favorite lunch restaurant in the city right now. I love that place. The food and the service is so great and the prices are reasonable. I would suggest it to anyone. They have the menu online too

Panaro's
571 Delaware Avenue
Buffalo, NY 14202
(716) 884-1033

image

Today I had Panaro's bracciole, it was so yummy. The meat was the perfect amount a flaky and the stuffing was delicious. I normally don't even like Italian food out, but their food tastes like home cooked.

Here is a bracciole recipe I think I can find out a family one from my mom and get back to you.

The blond waitress is my favorite in the whole city and considering I eat out at least one meal a day, that is a serious compliment. This picture of her is stolen from the Panaro's site.

On the other side of the food world, I bought these organic table crackers at wegmans.

image

They turned out to be a little extra broken, which is weird considering the box was unharmed. Do you think the machine mashed them up on the way in the plastic? They still tasted fine as a powder.

I have never been there but she is smoking hot and she looks like she might know how to cook to. Yeah she is hot I wonder if that is her natural hair color not that it matters but she is a cuttie pie.
jbeatty - 08/31/07 13:38
Man and to think I almost went there for lunch today. I guess I will have to make a stop there next week.

OMG- that waitress is on the matchmaker show about Buffalo. She lives at home and cant find a boyfriend because she acts 12 and is really in her mid 30s. Small world..
tinypliny - 08/31/07 01:42
And that was the first restaurant I ate at when I came apartment hunting in Buffalo. Part of the reason why I fell in love with the place. :)
tinypliny - 08/31/07 01:38
!!!! I LOVE THAT WAITRESS AT PANAROS!!!! She is so awesome - I have been at that restaurant many many times now and she has waited on my table every single time. She remembers me everytime and is so sweet to me. :))

And I think they have the ***BEST PIZZA*** I have ever had anywhere and probably in the world!!

That's it. I am going there for lunch tomorrow.

At The Casino
Category: games
I went to the Niagara Falls Casino with (e:mike) , (e:libertad) , (e:terry) and (e:matthew) to celebrate mike's birthday and his addiction to Gambling. With two mintes of playing the 25 cent machine I went from $20 to $43. It felt reat. Following by like two minutes on the $1 slot until I was back to $20 ;(

image

I really am just not into it even with all the great computer noises involved.

(e:mike) was really upset that the Birthday Spin the Wheel promotion starts Sept 1st, the day after his birthday.

metalpeter - 08/31/07 17:27
I admit that I have never bet at a Casino before. But since I have played 21 before I might like blackjack but when you are playing with real money it kinda changes things I would think. If you want to play a game where the odds are different there is rulete but it seems like in that game you really have no action you just pick a place on a board and hope. It sounds like you all had a good time though.

Video Chat With e:lilho
Category: peeptalk
Last night I got to video chat with (e:lilho,40823) on ichat. I am not sure why her pics didn't come out - but I took my own.

We were never able to start a video chat with more than one person, although it says you can chat with up to three people.

image

Of course, some pics are more important than others. This one is for (e:mike)

image

We have had so many comments this week! I took this pictures yesterday evening. Thanks you guys for making this site successful.

imk2 - 08/30/07 18:09
115 comments and no drama going on? now that is crazy.
anne - 08/30/07 16:08
i've used ichat to video chat with 2 people at the same time, that's weird that it didn't work.
lilho - 08/30/07 13:02
ah ha!
mike - 08/30/07 12:40
aww thanks for the pic! I miss those!
paul - 08/30/07 10:23
We were using ichat.
jason - 08/30/07 09:34
What software do you use for video chat?

I love having a super fast point and shoot camera.

(e:enknot) also pointed out this is the new vision for Panos which I have to say looks pretty nice.

In an unrelated asian restaurant...

It started like this: We waited like 5 minutes to be seated in the restaurant but it was full accept for the patio in blazing sun with no one on it - or this one five person tablet that was empty in the back corner.

We ask for a table, the dude says, "How many?" I say, "three" and he says, "no table." I say, "What about that one?" and he says, "it is for five." I say, "Oh it is reserved, he says, "no it isn't, but would you like to sit outside?"

Now if I was a rational human being I could have just gave in and said no thank you and told him I was takig my business elsewhere or insisted on being seated there . Instead the sicilian in me took over and I said, "Then I will not be eating here and proceeded to leave while spitting on the inside of the glass door. Maybe, I do need anger management classes.

Its better than the time I threatened to burn down a hotel in downtown phoenix and the police had to come. Man, I used to be such a freak.
imk2 - 08/30/07 18:24
yeah we should have spit on her and not on the door.
tinypliny - 08/30/07 10:13
imk2, we totally should have done "the aggravated spit" that day!!
tinypliny - 08/30/07 10:10
Don't ever to Betty's during peak time. You might want to kill 'em all.

Oooh, the spitting was such a cool touch. :) Hats off to you!
leetee - 08/30/07 00:18
Wow... Paul... i promise, if you ever come over to our house again, you can sit anywhere... honest.

Terry's Birthday
Category: birthdays
We went to the El Caporal for (e:terry) to have his 28th birthday dinner. He freakin' loves Mexican Food.

image

Their shrimp dinner was pretty good at cheap. The margarittas were only $2.
image

I love the mormon in the hood, they are so cute.
image

The love joy pool is such a crazy style. It looked like that since I was a kid. I don't know if it is really a pool or not anymore.
image

And yes, (e:terry) did get his xBox 360 elite along with Viva Pinata.
image

metalpeter - 08/30/07 18:04
Late Happy Birthday. I have been to that place twice and by mistake got the same thing both times it was very good. The funny thing is both times I went the people I went with didn't know how to explain what flavors those colored pops or drinks where so I didn't get one. Terry does look like he is going to go do something with that xbox is Viva Pinata the same as the Cartoon or are they unrelated?
lilho - 08/29/07 11:17
ummm terry looks like hes about to run off and do something indecent with that thing!
leetee - 08/29/07 10:06
Yay! Glad (e:Terry) got a pressie he loves... and had good mexican.

El Chaporal rocks.

Here's the reviews on Bill Rapaport's site -- :::link:::
