Berwyn, PA

One of the things about living and working in a village is that it is always evolving, and Berwyn, Pennsylvania is no different. Straddling two townships, Easttown and Tredyffrin it is a beautiful place. From when you step off the train having travelled along the famed "Main Line" you can't fail but notice the friendliness of the surroundings.

But don't take my word for it, watch the video and then take some time to come visit.

I was driving by the T/E middle school yesterday and heard on the news we may be getting snow this weekend and right then I see the hope of Spring. Fluttering in the brisk winds and as I pulled down into my collar I see Registration is now Open for Spring Baseball. www.BPALL.org, I am sure there are other leagues in the area also open for registration as well.

But with the threats of snow it is good to know that Berwyn Paoli Little League is ready and set to go in the Spring makes the winter seem just a little bit shorter knowing we have the fun and sounds of summer right around the corner, I can feel the sun on my arms and feel just a little bit better. I can hear the crack of ball on bat and the cheers of the crowd.

So sign up now, don't wait get over to www.BPALL.org and have a great time.

Yesterday I had the chance to eat at two good restaurants on the Main Line, one is a BYOB in Berwyn, being my birthday and my brother being in town he treated me to lunch at Tiramisu, located on the corner of Lancaster Ave and Knox it has quickly become a local favorite with seating hard to come by in the evenings. I know because we have tried to get in recently and been unable to find space. The kitchen is based on Jewish Roman cooking, I say based as it is not a Kosher kitchen with lobster and other shellfish on the menu. We had an interesting lunch, I had a Tuscan bean soup followed by a risotto primavera, the soup was great, the risotto a little salty and oily for my taste, my brother had grilled artichokes followed by a fish stew both of which he said were excellent. The stew was not overpowered by a tomato broth and the flavors of each fish stood out as opposed to some stews where everything melds together and you are not sure what you are eating.

In the evening Trudy and I had the opportunity to eat at the new restaurant in the Wayne Hotel called Paramour. The restaurant has been completely remodelled and the menu revamped under a new chef. Being a Monday night the restaurant was not that busy but still had a steady flow of patrons. You can choose to eat in the bar where they serve a bistro menu or the restaurant, we actually chose one of the banquettes in the bar and ate from the bistro menu, and looking over the two they were almost identical.

Trudy had a trio of fish tartares which were excellent and I had an oyster sampler also delicious. To follow we had seared snapper and grilled sea bass, both were excellent with nice vegetable selections, although again we both found the chef was a little heavy with the salt on the crust of the fish but both were beautifully cooked. We had an interesting wine with dinner a petite sirah from California called The Crusher, very nice and although we were having fish it went very well. For dessert we shared a raspberry linzer torte with a orange marmalade ice cream. The ice cream tasted great although the orange marmalade had sunk to the bottom so was in a glob all together. Coffee was excellent and I would definitely add this to one of the places to consider for a celebration dinner along the Main Line. Service was attentive without being over-powering and the decor definitely added to the whole meal.

It was cold this morning, down in the 30's but this flower a late blooming canna lilly just amazed me.

I have posted shots of these plants before, note the red tinge to the flower opening behind, we seem to be getting red and yellow mixed flowers of this hybrid bulb.
