Where in Newtown Was This Meal Served?

There's mango, cucumber, tuna and more, but they are hard to see until you you get past the colorful lettuce that tops off the dish.

I try to start every Asian meal healthy, with miso soup and salad with ginger dressing. (See at in Southbury).

Then, I'll do my best to continue on the healthy track, which I did last night in Newtown - at a very nice restaurant - where the waitstaff and host were extremely polite.

This dish is hard to figure out. The simple mesclun greens nearly hide the rest of the layers, so I will give you a hint. There are cucumbers at the bottom, sliced thin like matchsticks. On top of them are sliced mangoes. Then, you'll find spicy seared cajun white tuna.

Can you guess which restaurant served up this tasty meal?

Sweet Mango, of course. It is located in the new Plaza South on Route 25.

These are all great guesses! This terrific meal was at Toro! Thanks to all of you who commented! And thanks to Bill, the waiter at Toro, who was top notch.

Oh, and Mitch, JKoo is now Sweet Mango. The former owners of JKoo sold off the business to the family who now operates Sweet Mango in the Plaza South shopping center.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.

Norma has been spotted this morning at the intersection of Kenan and Currituck. The red leash isRead More still attached. She was trying to eat a dead squirrel on Currituck. Very skittish, but still in the neighborhood (yay). Please watch for her. My husband and sister-in-law (who first spotted her on Currituck this morning) were unable to get near her. She's in the woods, heading toward Butterfield. Her foster mom is on the scene now. Folks in the neighborhood, please watch for her and call 203-942-4008 if you see her.

Carolee Mason (Newtown's Animal Control Officer) is watching her from her car at the moment, armedRead More with catfood to tempt her closer. The foster mom is on her way there again, this time with chicken, and Laura is on her way with hamburger. Problem is, this dog is VERY shy, skittish and quick to run away.
