RESTAURANT REVIEW

Taste the difference of a bona-fide cantina

F
or as long as Mexican-food
fans have debated the pre-
cise boundaries that sepa-
rate traditional Mexican from, say,
Tex-Mex, they also have kicked
around the term “real” Mexican
food, as opposed to, well, “chain”
Mexican food, the kind usually
plated at quick-built, American-
owned faux cantinas that tend to
pop up near shopping centers.
Not that there’s anything wrong
with those.
In fact, if we judge simply by the
crowds at or the longevity of such
local favorite haunts as La Tolteca,
for example, we’d say plenty of
folks put up no fussy protest about
the origins of their spicy, tortilla-
centric favored fare. In fact, they
might even prefer the taste and am-
bience of what the chains offer.
Yet, as we approach Cinco De
Mayo, that party-hardy, Battle of
Puebla commemorative holiday
that means so much more here in
the states than it does in Mexico,
we sought to find a nice, lesser-
known compromise, a cross be-
tweenabustlingandbona-fide,mu-
sic-filled cantina and a quiet neigh-
borhood joint where Mexican
kitchen masters proudly but quiet-
ly serve the food of their homeland. DON CAREY/THE TIMES LEADER

Enter Terrapin’s Cantina in
Bloomsburg, only a short road trip
from Wilkes-Barre. (You’ll not have
to travel nearly as far as you do for
that big fall fair.)
The recipes here are reported to
come from Colorado, and, as such,
you are warned to expect a little
surprise in the way of taste. All
fresh ingredients also are prom-
ised: plump, white boneless chick-
en breasts, natural, unprocessed
cheese, cholesterol-free frying oil
and pinto beans that arrive in 100-
pound bags and require careful sift-
ing and cleaning, in other words
“real,” work-for-them beans.
From what we saw and sampled,
wewerefairlyimpressed.Thecom-
fortable, authentic atmosphere is
as enjoyable as the food, which
starts, of course, with chips and sal-
sa.
AsinmanyMexicanrestaurants,
the first basket of chips is on the
house. The next will cost you $2.95
You might just enjoy the usual
freebie and skip the nacho-leaning
appetizers entirely or go for some-
thing like a Mexican pizza ($5.25)

chos so much, however, we went
for a regular order of Nachos
Grande ($9.95) to share, and we
cleaned the basket. Our only beef,
so to speak, was a shortage of beef
in an otherwise delicious mix of
beans, olives, jalapenos, cheese
and sour cream.
After that, consider an array of
Mexican salads — taco, chicken-ta-
co or seafood — or a host of old fa-
vorites hitting all the expected cat-
egories: quesadilla, fajita, enchila-
da, burrito and chimichanga. Most
come smothered with a choice of
mushroom or ranchero sauce. We
had split feelings: I loved the pep-
pery, tomato-based ranchero,
while another found the tomato
taste somewhat offputting. Rice
and beans are served on the side of
most of these dishes, and the rice is
a notable notch above, moist and
teeming with chopped fresh vege-
tables. It’s not to be pushed aside or
considered an afterthought.

Cork Bar and Restaurant in
Wilkes-Barre carries a variety of
wines and is offering patrons a
chance to learn more about them
through a series of spring and
summer wine classes.
The first class is Tuesday and
will focus on “Latin Lovers.” It
will showcase wines from Spain,
Argentina and Chile.
Picos de Montgo Tempranillo
is one such wine, from Spain.
Tempranillo refers to a red wine
grape variety from the Riberadel
Duero region in Spain that tends
to ripen earlier than most grapes.
The name comes from the Span-
ish word “temprano,” which
means “early.”
“This wine has a lot of fruit
notes,” Ruth Corcoran, owner of
Cork, said. “It also has a very
strong finish.”
Tempranillo generally pro-
duces medium-bodied wines
with hints of fruit, as well as
notes of herb and an earthy or
leathery minerality.

ings going for $8.95 to $10.95.
You really can’t go wrong with
any of the above, and small-group
parties likely will want to try a nice,
pass-it-all-around mix.
To my mind, the chimis and the
rice were the showstoppers, but far
be it from me to try to stop you from
ordering otherwise. I only wish I
could have had a smaller chimi with
a side of rice. With that in mind,
more combo offerings or pick-your-
own selections would have been ap-
preciated, but by the time dessert
came I forgot all about that.
A Xango (lightly fried cheese-
cake wrapped in a tortilla and
served with rich ice cream) and
classic fried ice cream (made in
house, and we chose honey over
chocolate, caramel and peanut but-
ter) were outright fabulous foot-
notes we hardly needed but
couldn’t pass up. Overindulgence
never tasted so satisfying.

veland. ★★★
It’s an intriguing bit of
brutal but little-known
history — the number of bombings and killings the film says took
place in Cleveland at the time make it seem more like Beirut — and
“Kill the Irishman” is never dull. But director/co-writer Jonathan
Hensleigh tries to cram so much into well under two hours that the
film often feels rushed and uninvolving.
Ray Stevenson does a serviceable job of portraying the two-fisted
Greene, and there are some gripping touches, as when a flunky
proves how committed he is to Greene’s cause. But a portly Val Kil-
mer as a local police investigator and narrator seems wedged into
the script, as if Hensleigh had too much ground to cover and didn’t
want the audience to identify too much with Greene.
Other casting choices — Fionnula Flanagan, Tony Lo Bianco,
Paul Sorvino, Vincent D’Onofrio – are cool little nods to gangster
movies and TV shows past, though Christopher Walken as mobster
Shondor Birns doesn’t have a lot to do.
“Kill the Irishman,” based on a non-fiction book by Rick Porrello,
ends up whetting the appetite for a really good documentary be-
cause sometimes life is more compelling than fiction.

‘Don Quixote’ marries love and ballet
By MARY THERESE BIEBEL
mbiebel@timesleader.com
Dazed and confused after he’s
knocked unconscious, Don Quix-
ote wanders through a troupe of
young ladies and sees a vision or
two.
“Only he can see me,” said Pau-
la Perez, 24, of Wilkes-Barre, who
wears “a beautiful, big wedding
gown” and veil as Dulcinea, the
personification of Don Q’s ideally
sweet, pure and chaste woman.
“I’m Cupid. I even have a bow,”
said Becky Phillips, 22, of King-
ston, confirming she, too, in her
role of Amour, is a figment of the
would-be knight’s imagination.
In the ballet “Don Quixote,”
presented this weekend at
Meyers High School by The Joan
Harris Centre, the title character
also meets a flesh-and-blood
woman.
Kitri is both alive and lively, as
audiences will see.
Rehearsing that role earlier
this week, Amanda Sedor, 16, of
Wyoming drew cheers from fel-
low cast members as she made an
ankle-burning 16 fouetté turns
look easy. Considered the most
difficult turn in ballet, the move-
ment has one leg continually
turning while the other whips
through the air, building momen-
tum but never touching the
ground.
In his role as Kitri’s love inter-
est, Basilio, 25-year-old Thomas
Wilkins of Wilkes-Barre is simi-
larly athletic with tours en l’air
(turns in the air) and partner-lift-

“It’s like any other sport,” Wil-
kins said, remembering track ex-
periences from his middle-school
days.
Despite all their energy, Kitri
and Basilio have a problem. Her
father does not approve of the
young man and wants her to mar-
ry someone else.
Don Quixote will help the
young lovers, in his own way,
even though he’s smitten with Ki-
tri himself and has mistaken the
flirtatious girl for his ideal Dulci-
nea.
“He’s pledged himself to her
service,” said Jim Harris, explain-
ing how Don Quixote’s pure love
wants what’s best for his beloved.
Harris, incidentally, was
recruited for the title role.
“It seems every time they want
someone to play an old, crazy
man …” he said with a laugh. “I’ve
begun to take it personally.”
Equal parts comedy and ro-
mance, the ballet includes torea-
dors, gypsies and Don Quixote’s
obligatory chasing at windmills.
Harris said he’s excited that Pe-
rez’s mother, Olinda Bordon, has
agreed to perform before the bal-
let. Trained in opera at the Insti-
tuto Superior de Arte — Argenti-
na’s equivalent of Juilliard — she
will sing a well-known aria from
“Carmen.”

NOTES ON MUSIC
Pop Rox is a burst of hit songs
By SARA POKORNY
spokorny@timesleader.com
A good night out is often
marked by how much your feet
hurt from dancing and how sore
your throat is from singing (or
maybe screaming) along to
songs. Sure, you can hit up a bar
with a well-stocked jukebox, or
you can get an all-out party ex-
perience when you hit up a Pop
Rox show.
About three years ago Pop
Rox, made up of Kelly Franks,
Darren Fernandez, Mike Man-
cia, Matt Calabro, Dan Franks
and Jamie Hutchinson, em-
barked on a journey of speaker-
thumping, crowd-rousing
shows that throw some of the
biggest party hits your way.
“We play whatever is hot on
the radio right now, as well as
crowd favorites that everyone
loves to hear,” Kelly Franks
said.
During any given night out

While cover bands may not be

THE GUIDE
THE GUIDE

Fancy sounding like a Brit while you act like one? Impress your chums as you translate
our English to their English:
Chin wag: There will be plenty of this happening after the royal wedding, particularly
among those who have been following the ceremony closely. A “chin wag” is simply a
chat or a talk.
Cracker/crackers/cracking: In order: excellent (the wedding was a “cracker”); crazy (he’s
crackers for marrying her, not Will, of course); wonderful (Kate’s gown was cracking.)
Bob’s your uncle: “And there you have it.” Marks the finality of a statement, usually after a
set of directions. Want to turn that lamp on? Plug it in, press the switch, and Bob’s your
uncle. If you really want to confuse someone, tell them “Robert’s your mother’s brother”
instead. Or try this: “They walked down the aisle, said ‘I do,’ and Bob’s your uncle, and
now Kate’s Will’s wife.’ ”
Cheeky: Nervy. A few cheeky Brits no doubt tried to crash the royal wedding today.
Shirty: Ill-tempered or unpleasant. Some would say Charles is a bit shirty, but not William.
Codswallop: A load of crap, in short. Codswallop is a pile of nonsense, a poor excuse
and fun to say. You say you got an invitation to this wedding? Codswallop!
Give us a bell: Sounds much classier than, “Hey, call me sometime.” We hope
readers will give us a bell if they were in England to witness these festivities.
Bugger: This incredibly versatile word can be used in place of curses (“Oh,
bugger!” or “Bugger off!”), to admit defeat (“We’re buggered.”) or to
label someone in jest (“You really DID get an invitation to the royal
wedding, you lucky bugger.”)
Fancy: Replaces “desire” or “want” as a verb. Fancy a cup of tea
with your biscuit? A biscuit, by the way, is just a cookie.
Even royals fancy biscuits.
Knackered: Did you get up at 4 a.m. to
watch the nuptials? You MUST
be knackered by now.

When little girls dream of their

huge, elegant events filled with
only the finest things to suit their
every need. Kind of like a royal
wedding.
All eyes will be on Kate and
Will’s nuptials today, and many

style game.
“Each season is a new style,”
Dottor said. “What you see
here, you’ll never see again.
The style is constantly chang-

Boden actually offers no
retail locations, and
shoppers are able to
buy the goods only via
catalog or through
www.bodenusa.com. But
the public is sometimes
invited to special sales.
“We recently had one at our

AT THE TABLE
Don’t let misinformation hinder your tournament experience
By TOM ROBINSON
For The Times Leader
PLAINS TOWNSHIP —
Tournament poker for some
players is just an extension of
standard no limit hold ’em
play.
Betting patterns and deci-
sions tend to be very similar
to what the player would do in
a cash-game setting.
Those who are successful or
find tournament play particu-
larly enjoyable, however, tend
to adjust to chip stacks, blind
levels and the ever-changing
set of circumstances tourna-
ment play provides.
For those players, knowing
where they stand is vital.
There are many positives in
the overall tournament expe-
rience in the Mohegan Sun at
Pocono Downs poker room,
but the possibility of misinfor-
mation has hindered some
players.
The recent addition of
$5,000 chips in tournament
play has caused some confu-
sion in night tournaments.
The color scheme of the chips
is a different shade of blue
than the $500 chips, but the
similarities have been enough
to cause mistakes by players
and dealers alike.
Players have made commit-
ments to call bets (when they
would have folded) based on
misinterpreting the original
bet amount. Dealers have
called out the wrong bet
amounts from making the
same mistake, though it is
much easier for the dealer to
take back his/her declaration
and clarify for the table if the
error is caught quickly. A
player who verbally states
“call” or “all-in” in response to
a betting action he misunder-
stood is stuck even if the mis-
take is realized a second later.

CELEBRITY Q&A UNIVERSAL SUDOKU JUMBLE

BY R.D. HELDENFELS BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK

Makeover show
returned April 17
Q. What happened to “Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition”? At first
my family thought the “replacement”
show was just temporary but it’s
been several weeks now and what’s
up with Ty and the gang?

A. As has been noted here before,

the broadcast network television sea-
son runs more than 40 weeks, from
September into May, and most of
those networks’ shows make around
22 episodes. As a result, the broad-
casters either have to air a lot of re-
runs or fill time slots with substitute
programs. “Secret Millionaire” has
been filling the “Home Edition” time
slot since March 6 and had its sea-
son finale April 10. “Home Edition”
returned with new episodes on
April 17. Both those moves were an-
nounced before “Secret Millionaire”
PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
CRYPTOQUOTE
even premiered on ABC.

Q. Do you know who plays

Howard’s overly open, dare I say,
loud-mouthed, yet unseen mother
on the CBS show “Big Bang
Theory?”

A. That’s Carol Ann Susi, an actress

who has a lot of TV credits where
she is also seen. You may recall her
— or her voice — from “The Boy-
friend,” a 1992 episode of “Seinfeld”
where she plays a woman George
Costanza dates unsuccessfully.

HOROSCOPE CANCER (June 22-July 22). Sometimes

BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are pre-
pared for any occurrence at all — like
sudden hunger, a flat tire or a fit of
extreme ennui.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want any
interaction with you to be a pleasant
experience. Because of this, you will feel
compelled to give and do more.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll benefit
from being available to the world today.
PAGE 32
you’re wary of groups, daunted by the
prospects of fitting in, learning the
unspoken rules and understanding the
charter. Let those worries go.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People need to
know what you’re good at. Boast of your
success. Better yet, find underhanded
ways of delivering information so the
praise is not coming directly from you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are mental-
ly active, and your passionate emotions
make it nearly impossible to stay calm,
cool and collected.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Take a moment
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seek mutual-
ity in all things. Create relationships with
those who show strong interest in you
and what you do. Don’t chase. Only move
forward when you feel the “click” of
togetherness.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re
not in a hurry; still you see the benefit of
cutting to the quick. Honesty is the most
direct route. You’ll speak your mind and
set the stage for open communication in
the future.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll
provide a fun distraction from the task
at hand. What needs to be accomplished
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Stress can
be healthy and motivating, or it can be
restrictive and debilitating. You’ll tune in
to the differences between good stress
and bad stress.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be deal-
ing with tough customers. Make sure the
basics are covered before you get too
ambitious.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 29). Your
desire for personal security will be well
satisfied over the next five weeks. With
quiet strength and determination, you

Dating his late wife’s nurse distresses widower’s family
Dear Abby:
My husband’s
darling mother
died of cancer
last summer.
During the last
month of her
illness she was confined to bed,
so we hired a nurse, “Lois,” to
cover the night shift.
The day after the funeral, my
husband’s father started calling
Lois. Dad swore they were “just
friends,” but continued pursu-
ing her despite our disapproval.
Two months later, they were
dating. Last Thanksgiving, our
DEAR ABBY
ADVICE
first holiday without Mom, he
cancelled plans to be with us
and the grandkids to spend it
with “friends” — guess who?
This has hit my husband
hard. Dad and Mom were
married for 50 years. We
have always had a close family,
particularly at holiday time.
Are we wrong to feel that Dad
and Lois are disrespecting
Mom’s memory and to feel
hurt and angry?
— Grieving in Minnesota
Dear Grieving: While it may
appear your father-in-law
jumped quickly into a relation-
ship, it could be he grieved dur-
ing the time his wife was ill and
has concerns that his own time
may be limited, so he wants to
enjoy life while he can.
As to missing the holidays,
being there with his wife of 50
years conspicuously missing
may have been more than he
could face.
Dear Abby: After having a
stroke, my mother spent the
last few years of her life in a
nursing facility. She was an
accomplished gardener and
enjoyed sharing her bounty.
Instead of sending her a fresh
flower bouquet for Mother’s
Day, I’d have some potted to-
mato plants delivered to her
nursing home. On her death
bed last year, she reminded us
to water her tomato plants.
I cannot think of a more fit-
ting tribute to her memory
than to encourage your read-
ers to provide living vegetable

plants for their senior relatives.
Most nurseries or florists will
accommodate your request.
— Carole in San Clemente
Dear Carole: What a sweet
idea. Your mother appears to
have been a generous and car-
ing woman.
To receive a collection of Abby’s most
memorable — and most frequently
requested — poems and essays, send a
business-sized, self-addressed envelope,
plus check or money order for $3.95

one of the sexiest lawyers/boss-
es around. And “The Good
Wife” has to be one of the smart-
est, most engaging lawyer hours
on TV today. As the unmarried
partner at Lockhart-Gardner,
this Will is truly a good guy,
even as he pines away for under-
ling Alicia Florrick (Julianna
Margulies), who’s married to
Peter Florrick, a public-eye bad
boy on a path to becoming good
again. So far, Will and Alicia
have only shared a kiss, but its
steam is still fogging up those
Windy City windows. “The
Good Wife,” 10 p.m. Tuesdays

• WILLIAM WALKER: OK,
so you don’t see him much any-
more, given he died in the pre-
miere episode of “Brothers And
ERY. Yeah, I cheat a bit here. Dr.
Addison Montgomery, ob/gyn
extraordinaire of “Private Prac-
tice,” is actually a Kate in real
life, the fabulously polished
Kate Walsh. But I couldn’t resist
using her here, given the good-
vs.-evil theme. When we met
her on “Grey’s Anatomy,” she
was the ultimate bad girl. Who,
after all, would cheat on a hus-
band like Dr. Derek Shepherd?
After that marriage proved an
epic fail and Addison left Seattle
for sunnier California, she set
herself to doing right again,
even if she is technically now
the other woman in a mostly sol-
id relationship with her best
friend’s ex-husband. Will she
settle down for good and get her
longed-for baby even as her bi-
ological clock ticks away? 10
