The fisher, an animal in the same family as mink and weasel, is known for its ability to hunt and eat porcupines. This fisher is on display in a diorama at Nescopeck State Park.

Look for the magic in darkness By MARY THERESE BIEBEL mbiebel@timesleader.com

hen the sun sets – earlier every day this month – don’t let your heart sink along with it. Extra darkness gives you more time to stargaze, maybe even to spot meteors in the night sky. And, if you visit Nescopeck State Park in Drums for this evening’s guided night hike, you can turn off your flashlight and let your senses kick into high gear. Still, even if they’re not close at hand, it’s interesting to know how nocturnal animals could be spending the night in the 3,550acre park. Porcupines might be busy gnawing tree bark while snowshoe hares eat shrubs, bobcats pounce on mice, coyotes sniff out hares, flying squirrels search for nuts and furry, long-bodied fishers look for porcupines they’ll flip over to access the stomach area, which has no quills. “A fisher will eat a porcupine,” Madl said earlier this week as visitors admired stuffed specimens of both creatures, along with other examples of Northeastern Pennsylvania wildlife in a newly installed diorama at Nescopeck’s Environmental Education Center. If you miss tonight’s hike, which is designed for ages 8 to adult and for which you should call to register in advance, you may want to sign up for a Junior
Bird Club night hike. That hike, set for 6 p.m. Nov. 16 at Nescopeck’s Wood Frog Trail, could give you a chance to hear a barred owl’s distinctive “whocooks-for-you.” While you’re outdoors, preferably far from city lights, you might try to see some meteors. Just after Sunday night gives way to the wee hours of Monday is supposed to be an ideal time to view the North Taurid meteors, which appear to come from the constellation Taurus the Bull. Next weekend, from the evening of Nov. 16 to the dawn of Nov. 17, could be your best chance to view a Leonid meteor shower, which will seem to emanate from the constellation Leo the Lion, according to earthsky.com. If you’d like to see the night sky through a telescope, the Friedman Observatory at Penn State/ Wilkes-Barre’s campus in Lehman Township is open on
Wednesday, but faculty member Tim Sichler cautioned the 9 to 10 p.m. hour of public viewing this week doesn’t coincide with the best time to see something. Around midnight, he said, Jupiter should be a bright light in the sky and a few hours later, Saturn should be very noticeable. With a small telescope of your own you might see Jupiter’s moons and Saturn’s rings, he said. And, you don’t want a telescope when you’re looking for meteor showers. For that, you want to see a broad expanse of sky. So your backyard might be a better vantage point – unless you plan to be in Centre County this weekend or next. That’s where a group will gather at Black Moshannon State Park, outside Philipsburg, on Sunday and again on Nov. 16 in hopes of seeing meteors together.
A snowshoe hare spends the nighttime hours looking for vegetation to eat and trying to avoid predators that might try to eat it.

“In a few minutes people’s eyes adjust and they have night vision,” park naturalist Diane Madl explained. “They’ll get the feeling of what it’s like to be an animal at night. Your senses heighten.” So maybe the cool night air will feel extra chilly. Maybe the sound of a breaking twig will reverberate. Maybe a crushed pine needle will smell extra pungent. Maybe an owl will give a hoot that echoes along the park’s Woodland Path. Environmental education specialist Megan Taylor, who will lead the hike, has an iPod with a bird-call app, with which she hopes to attract an owl and get an answering call. But don’t expect too many more wildlife encounters than that, Madl said, because groups of people tend to make noise, even when they’re trying to be quiet, and forest creatures tend to flee.

Imitation is the best form of comedy IF YOU GO
By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
What: Brian Regan When: Doors at 7 tomorrow night, show at 8 Where: F.M. Kirby Center, 71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre Tickets: $39.50 More info: 826-1100
W
hether it’s jokes about the hassle of going to the eye doctor or how ridiculous serving sizes are, Brian Regan has it covered. He’ll bring his observational humor to the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre tomorrow night.
••• Times Leader: Quick, tell us a joke. Just kidding. Do people ask that of you often? Brian Regan: The “Tell me a joke” thing used to happen to me a lot more than it does now. Maybe people have heard my act and think to themselves, “Certainly, I don’t want to hear anything more that this clown has to say.” I often wonder if doctors are asked at cocktail parties, “Operate on my spleen.” TL: The term “clean” has been affixed to you and your comedy, but you’ve said you don’t categorize yourself as such. How would you categor-
ize yourself? BR: I always feel weird describing my comedy in any way. I’m not trying to be flippant with that answer, but it seems like each joke is kind of its own thing, and when you string them all together, it’s a stand-up routine. But to describe the whole comedy perspective in a few words is challenging. I’ve always shied away from calling it “clean” because that description misses the point. I feel describing my comedy as clean is like describing Ansel Adams’ body of photography as black and white. TL: It seems every comedian
Brian Regan will bring his ‘clean’ comedy to the Kirby Center, but, to hear him tell it, clean doesn’t tell the story.
gets heckled at some point. Can you recall one of the funniest times that’s happened to you? BR: Sometimes our guard, as comedians, can be up too high. I was having a good show once, when someone yelled, “You
just make a face, and it’s funny!” I took offense, retorting, “I’d like to think this is more than just me making faces.” He shouted, “I meant that as a compliment!” So, of course, I felt stupid, and then made a funny face. TL: You’ve said you like to observe the way television preachers work. What have you learned from watching them? BR: I like watching television preachers to analyze their techniques of commanding a stage. When I watch, I’m not interested in their content, just their style. The good ones are capable of bringing their audiences on intense emotional
rides. I relate to that because, as a stand-up, I am also trying to take people on a ride too, so it’s fun to watch how others pilot their people around. TL: Did having children change your approach to comedy? BR: I think all experiences change my approach to comedy. Comedy is a prism through which we view the world, and that world changes based on what’s around us. Now there are children around me, so that influences how I think, what I care about. Not sure why, but I just gave you a thousand-word version of the answer “yes.” TL: What’s the best advice another comic, or even anyone in the industry, has given you? BR: The recently deceased comedian John Fox once told me, “Don’t take a sip of water unless they’re laughing.” That sounds trite, but when you really think about it, in a metaphorical way, it applies to many things in life.
From pop punk to storytelling musician By SARA POKORNY spokorny@timesleader.com
How does he fare as a singer and a musician? Yea, he’s OK – at least according to Greg Gover himself. But ask him about songwriting and storytelling, and he’s all about it. “I just don’t consider myself a spectacular singer or musician,” the modest 34-year-old Kingston resident said, “but I’m really good with words.” Gover will bring his storytelling ability in the form of the name he plays under, These Elk Forever, to the New Visions Studio and Gallery tonight, along with fellow local acts Petal, 3 to Breathe and Shorthand. Gover has been playing shows for 17 years and once played in a pop/punk band but now uses his tale-spinning strengths in a storyfocused genre: folk. Gover had an interest in writing fiction but found it just wasn’t for him.
IF YOU GO What: New Visions Concert with Petal, These Elk Forever, Shorthand and 3 to Breathe When: Doors open at 7:30 tonight, show at 8 Where: New Visions Studio & Gallery, 201 Vine St., Scranton Tickets: $7 More info: 878-3970
“I have absolutely no discipline; I have no attention span,” he said. “Songs are so immediate, and easy for folks to relate to, and I’m sort of attracted to the idea of the immediacy, and the intimacy, that can be conveyed via the medium of songwriting/performing.” In a live show Gover plays the guitar, but as far as recording is concerned he plays bass and piano, the latter of which was the first instrument he took to. “When I was really young my parents had a piano and I’d pound

on it,” he said with a laugh as he recalled the memory. “I would have two tape recorders, and I would tape myself on the one, then play it back while taping on the other one. It was like a rudimentary multi-tracker – one that didn’t make any sense.”
Gover is a pretty chill guy when it comes to talking about his music, which seems to take on an organic process. He favors no songs, said he “finger picks and writes words to it,” and has been doing this for so long he can’t even remember where the
name he plays under comes from. “I believe it was a lyric from a song that doesn’t exist any more, that I played long ago,” he said. Songs rotate through his repertoire, and he decides what to play or what not to based on his gut instinct. “I will get really psyched on a song I’m writing, play it out, and then just decide to never do it again because it doesn’t feel right.” Gover loves being a part of the local scene, which he thinks shows great potential. “I love the idea that there’s so many awesome bands that are getting national attention and the ability to do a lot of cool stuff,” he said, “like Tiger’s Jaw, The Menzingers and Title Fight. I mean, Title Fight’s record was just 67 on the Billboard Top 100; that’s great for a hardcore band from Kingston. “I can definitely see the area getting more experimental as the years go on, which is great.”

hirteen-year-old Thomasina sits primly at one end of a long table. “Septimus,” she asks her tutor, “what is carnal embrace?” “Carnal embrace is the practice,” he tells her firmly, “of throwing one’s arm around a side of beef.” “Is that all?” she presses. “No,” he replies, thinking fast and trying to turn the conversation into a Latin lesson. “A shoulder of mutton, a haunch of venison well hugged, an embrace of grouse ... caro, carnis; feminine; flesh.”

Cara Medwick said of Thomasina. “I think he loves her in a brotherly, fatherly, teacherly kind of way,” Drake Nester said of Septimus. How will it all end? Come and see, said director Sheileen Corbett, who admitted her own feelings during a recent rehearsal. “I love Thomas Stoppard,” she said. “There are so many layers to his writing. He’s brilliant.” Among his awards, Stoppard received a 1994 Olivier Award for Best New Play for “Arcadia” as well as a 2011 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play. ••• You’ll find a drama from another awardwinning playwright this week at Phoenix Performing Arts Center in Duryea, where Jonah Productions presents Paul Kodiak’s “The Messenger,” winner of the 2011 Original Playwrights Contest at the Shawnee Playhouse.

to elicit a confession. So, why does the priest care so much about this particular prisoner? “It’s a pretty strong moment when that’s revealed,” said J. Domenic DeMuro, who wants that aspect to remain a surprise. Who is the messenger? What is the message? “The best answer is to come and see the show,” said DeMuro, who plays Jimmy, the condemned man. Suffice it to say the show is intense and that the priest “has a dark secret he’s been keeping for a long time” said Dante Giammarco, who plays Father Keating. “Jimmy is putting Father Keating through his paces,” added Giammarco, who also directs. Audiences will see that “redemption comes in all forms and from different places,” DeMuro said. “Even if it’s someone you just meet for an hour, you can change a life.”

Thus we’re introduced to two main characters in Thomas Stoppard’s “Arcadia,” which the King’s College theater department will present Wednesday through Nov. 17. Thomasina is a budding mathematical genius, a 19th-century daughter of privilege for whom an everyday activity such as stirring jam into rice pudding leads to the realization you can’t stir backward – “the jam will not come together again” – as well as complicated ideas about atoms and algebra. Septimus might come across at first as more of a ladies’ man than a genius – he is after all the fellow who, household gossip has it, was … um … embracing one Mrs. Chater in the gazebo. Still, he’s clever enough to diffuse Mr. Chater’s anger through flattery, declining the jealous husband’s challenge to a duel because, should he kill him, England would be deprived of a great poet. “I think I’m the bee’s knees when it comes to modern poetry of the time,” D.J. Nat said, speaking for his confused and cuckolded character. “My wife is off sleeping around with everyone.” Mrs. Chater’s indiscretions are just one of many complications in Stoppard’s multi-layer plot, one that jumps back and forth between the early 1800s and modern times while exploring ideas about everything from thermodynamics to grouse populations to order vs. disorder, and how human emotions seem to add to the chaos. Consider love, for example, including the bittersweet, growing attraction between pupil and mentor. “I think she loves him in the childish sense, like ‘I have a crush on my teacher,’ ”

Sparks fly between Dano and Kazan If the couple at the heart of the delightful “Ruby Sparks” (2012, Fox, R, $30) seems to pass the chemistry test with flying colors that might be because, in real life, actors Paul Dano and Zoe Kazan have been dating for years. In the movie, Dano stars as an author experiencing a horrendous bout of writer’s block. After dreaming of his fantasy girlfriend (Kazan, who wrote the screenplay), he begins penning a novel about her. All is well until she materializes in his kitchen one morning. The set-up might sound a smidge too precious, but Kazan – and filmmakers Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (“Little Miss Sunshine”) – have come up with a whimsical blend of “Pygmalion” and “Harvey” that manages to charm from beginning to end. Coincidentally both Dano and Kazan share a connection to NEPA. Kazan is the granddaughter of iconic filmmaker Elia Kazan (“On The Waterfront”) and the
step-granddaughter of Elia’s last wife, Barbara Loden, who starred in – and directed – “Wanda,” a stinging 1971 drama filmed entirely in Scranton and Carbondale. Zoe has been to Pennsylvania many times with Dano, whose father, retired attorney Paul Dano Sr., was born and raised in Scranton. Dano Sr. now lives in East Stroudsburg, and his son visits him several times a year. “Ruby Sparks” might not be Paul Dano’s best film – that distinction belongs to “There Will Be Blood” or “Little Miss Sunshine” – but it’s certainly his most buoyant. In fact, it’s practically guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Amy Longsdorf writes about DVD and Blu-Ray releases with local connections.
NEW
ON
DVD
This week’s new DVD releases range from a holiday treat to a pair of top-notch TV series. “ARTHUR CHRISTMAS,” GRADE B-PLUS: Santa’s son must save Christmas. The animated film is not a perfect gift, but it does offer enough holiday cheer and silly fun to make it more entertaining than 10 lords a-leaping. It helps that the film also has a warm message about how tradition should never be sacrificed for efficiency’s sake. “CALL THE MIDWIFE: SEASON ONE,” GRADE A-MINUS: This is the original version of the series that aired in Britain before coming to America via public television. The series, based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, is a beautiful, heart-touching and occasionally funny look at a young midwife working in one of the poorest sections of London
during the 1950s. The young woman’s eyes are opened to the real world when she must deal with everything from a woman on her 25th pregnancy to a 15-year-old pregnant prostitute. “ENTOURAGE: THE COMPLETE SERIES,” GRADE A-MINUS: This HBO series, based loosely on the association of executive producer and series creator Doug Ellin with actor Mark Wahlberg, is a must-own for fans of the show. If you aren’t a fan, this is a great way to powerwatch your way through a series that offers a look behind the curtain of the life of a successful Hollywood actor. Other new DVD releases this week: “Sunset Boulevard”: Billy Wilder’s film debuts on Blu-ray. “FIRE WITH FIRE”: Josh Duhamel and Bruce Willis star. “SUPERNATURAL ACTIVITY”: Spoof of horror-film genre.

Still, this 23rd entry in the enduring James Bond franchise is no downer. Far from it. Simultaneously thrilling and meaty, this is easily one of the best entries ever in the 50-year, 23-film series, led once again by an actor who’s the best Bond yet in Daniel Craig. So many of the elements you want to see in a Bond film exist here: the car, the tuxedo, the martini, the exotic locations filled with gorgeous women. Adele’s smoky, smoldering theme song over the titles harkens to the classic 007 tales of the 1960s, even as the film’s central threat of cyberterrorism, perpetrated by an elusive figure who’s seemingly everywhere and can’t be pinned down, couldn’t be more relevant. And yet “Skyfall” seems like it could stand on its own perhaps more than most Bond movies. In the hands of director Sam Mendes, it almost feels like a reinvention; he has said making “Skyfall” left him “knackered,” but audiences will leave feeling invigorated. And with Mendes collaborating once again with the great cinematographer Roger Deakins, it’s definitely the most gorgeous. Deakins provides a varied array of looks, all of them dazzling. The MI6 headquarters, which must be moved to a hidden underground location after a vicious attack, have a crisp and stylish industrial-loft chic about them. The rugged hills of Scotland, where the final battle occurs at Bond’s ancestral home, are both wondrous and imposing; by this point in the film, “Skyfall” extends beyond the familiar confines of a spy thriller and becomes a flat-out Western. It’s a bold move. But the most beautiful sequence of all plays out in an empty office space in a Shanghai skyscraper: a mesmerizing mix of cool glass surfaces, delicate projected images and bold color, reminiscent of the lush hues in Mendes’ “Road to Perdition.” Within this precise setting, Mendes knows well enough to let the hand-to-hand combat between Bond and a sniper unfold without the kind of needless edits that unfortunately have become so popular in action films these days. Bond being Bond, he can still get himself out of any dangerous situation; the opening chase, which begins in Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar and ends in impossibly daring fashion on top of a hur-

CELEBRITY Q&A BY R.D. HELDENFELS
JUMBLE
UNIVERSAL SUDOKU
BY MICHAEL ARGIRION & JEFF KNUREK
Martha Stewart’s show airs on PBS Q. Thank you in advance for telling me where I can find Martha Stewart’s show. A. You’re welcome in advance. If you are referring to her show for the Hallmark Channel, it is done. But she has a show for public television, “Martha Stewart’s Cooking School,” which airs at various times on PBS stations (check local listings). And, if you watch programming online, Stewart has a library posted on Hulu.com. Q. Can you tell me who does the voice for that lizard in the Geico commercial? A. The Geico gecko has long been given voice by Jake Wood, an English actor whose other credits include a long run as Max Branning on the British drama “EastEnders.” But during commercial appearances dating back more than a decade, more than one actor has played the role; the most famous is Kelsey Grammer.
PREVIOUS DAY’S SOLUTION
CRYPTOQUOTE
Q. Mark Harmon starred in a TV film “Certain Prey” based on a novel by John Sandford. Is it likely that he will star in any more of the Prey series stories? Will “Certain Prey” film be released on a DVD? A. Sandford’s website notes that “reviews were decidedly mixed with fans and nonfans alike polarized” over the movie, but that the ratings were strong enough that there probably will be more movies. But nothing official has been announced at this writing. Do you have a question or comment for the mailbag? Write to me at rheldenfels@thebeaconjournal.com or by regular mail to the Akron Beacon Journal, 44 E. Exchange St., Akron, OH 44309.
HOROSCOPE BY HOLIDAY MATHIS ARIES (March 21-April 19). Helicopter par-
ents have a hard time walking the fine line between helping a child out of actual necessity and overdoing it out of a perceived necessity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be in an affectionate and demonstrative mood. Every time you express appreciation toward your loved one, he or she feels that much more love for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re willing to work hard for your family and/or the people you have chosen to care about.
ON THE WEB For more Sudoku go to www.timesleader.com Your sense of purpose is so strong through the weekend that the hard work feels more like a noble mission. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your ideas are good. Inviting collaboration will make them even better. Bounce your opinions off someone with similar tastes and different talents. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Anyone who has ever tried to “pill a cat” can attest: Cats will fight you if you try to feed them anything unappealing. Your cat nature will emerge tonight when someone presents statements you find hard to swallow. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). With the moon in your sign, you don’t have to do much to gain support for your efforts to make the environment as clean as possible.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do you really
have an obligation to be original? After all, what you do within a group is amazingly effective today. Still, the answer is yes. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Poke around in a mess. What good are blessings in disguise if no one makes the effort to recognize them? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though there’s a snappy pace to the proceedings, avoid speedy judgments. Your neutrality will allow you to pick up on the nuances that others miss. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you feel negative, it will be hard to radiate a noticeable aura. So the time you spend feeling good is worth the effort.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll spend
time on a computer or other machine not earning a fortune. Those who wonder why just don’t understand the love affair you have with your devices. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What makes you an excellent friend is that you have been there for a person in her time of need, and yet you don’t expect the return favor. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (November 9). This month gives you a way to perform for people whose opinions matter to you. You could even make money at this. Your friendships will be diverse and interesting all year. Aries and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 13, 24, 9 and 11.
Daughter demands widowed dad spend rest of his life alone Dear Abby: My brother lost his wife, the love of his life, three years ago. He has three children. His oldest, a 25-year-old daughter, “Jenny,” told him that “when you marry, it is for life.” She has threatened that if he dates someone or sees anyone, she will be out of his life and he won’t be able to see his future grandchildren. (Jenny is getting married next summer.) My brother is very upset. He
DEAR ABBY ADVICE wants to settle this argument before she is married. He hasn’t dated anyone, but feels she shouldn’t be trying to control his life. Please help, Abby. — Sister Katy in Maine Dear Sister Katy: I’m very sorry Jenny lost her mother, but her attitude is off base. At 25, it’s time for her to grow up
and stop making selfish, childish threats she will regret. While I agree that marriage should be “for life,” her parents’ marriage DID last for life — the life of her mother. That she would begrudge her father continuing to live his life is cruel and wrong. Dear Abby: I was raised in a home where “Yes, ma’am” and, “No, sir” were expected, and I have used that respectful form of address throughout my life. Yes, I grew up in the South. Six months ago, my husband

and I moved north with our two children for job relocation. My co-workers are giving me a hard time about my constant use of “ma’am” and “sir.” They feel offended! I have tried to respect their request not to say it to them. But I’m used to saying it to EVERYONE, all the time. It simply rolls off my tongue. I sense that upper management and my supervisor like being addressed that way. But what do you suggest I do with the rest of my co-workers? — Ol’-Fashioned in Ohio
THE GUIDE
THE GUIDE
Dear Ol’-Fashioned: I suggest you explain to your co-workers, as you have to me, that using this respectful form of address is a custom you were raised with. And because old habits are hard to break, that they please cut you some slack because you are trying to offend no one. 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 ($4.50 in Canada) to: Dear Abby’s “Keepers,” P.O.

tling train, is a marvel of timing and choreography. Conversely, he can also talk himself into situation, as he does when he seduces the beautiful and dangerous Severine (Berenice Marlohe) after meeting her in a Macau casino. But Bond’s vulnerability makes him a much more complicated and captivating figure. He’s not always totally smooth and slick. The work is taking a physical and psychological toll. Muscular and sexy as Craig is, he looks beat-up here, which adds what feels like an unprecedented sense of depth to a character we thought we’d known so well for so long. Three films into the series and Craig owns this iconic role by now, with his stoic cool and willingness to explore a dark side. This time, James Bond must try to protect his no-nonsense boss, M, from what feels like a very personal attack, even as it seems she may not necessarily be protecting him in return. The always whip-smart and dignified Judi Dench gets to explore her character’s hidden fears in the script from Neal Purvis &

Robert Wade and John Logan, which adds some unexpected and welcome layers to her performance. Ralph Fiennes, as M’s new superior, questions her ability to lead this aging behemoth of an agency in an increasingly unstable environment; at the same time, Ben Whishaw provides welcome, subtle humor as young gadget guru Q, whose modern-day specialty is computer hacking. Then there’s Javier Bardem, who pretty much steals this entire movie away from these esteemed and formidable actors. He is – totally unsurprising – tremendous as the villainous Silva, the former MI6 agent getting his revenge against this staid, old-fashioned organization in high-tech, ultra-efficient ways that make him seem unstoppable. Like so many Bond bad guys, he wants world domination through orchestrated chaos. But he approaches the role with effeminate flamboyance and cold-blooded menace. He’s hilarious and terrifying — and that’s just in the beautifully shot monologue in which he introduces himself. Ultimately, the reports of James Bond’s death are greatly exaggerated. Fifty years later, nobody does it better.

WHY WE WENT: As with last week’s visit to Andy’s Diner, Hurricane Sandy had Phoenix-quality eateries on our minds. Banko’s is yet another comeback story, having been completely rebuilt – back by popular demand – after Tropical Storm Lee in 2011. STYLE OF FOOD: Lots of seafood, plus pub fare and even a steak or two. DRESS & DÉCOR: Dress is casual. Décor is faux-seaside and charming, with lots of wood and buoys and other nautical touches. Bar is huge, with dining tables, and attached dining room is equally spacious. SERVICE: Quick and efficient DON’T-MISS DISH: New England Clam Chowder. We asked for a cup, were served a giant crock, and lapped up every last delicious drop. Clams were not only prevalent but huge, and the creaminess was off the charts. OTHER MENU HIGHLIGHTS: The seafood list is long and interesting, covering all the bases, from clams and scallops to catfish and barramundi. Barramundi? Yep, not the fearsome barracuda, though thehumorousmenudoesmakereference to it in its description. Barramundi is often referred to as the Asian sea bass and is popular in Thai cuisine. Here, it’s not breaded or fried (as many offerings are) but broiled, well-seasoned and served in a lovely butter bath. Portion sizes are huge, and this was no excep-

The Anthracite Café in WilkesBarre is known for its creative and large dishes (Heart Attack Burger, anyone?), and that creativity spills right onto the drink list. Enter the Mango Sangarita. It’s just what you would expect, a mixture of margarita, sangria and some fruit flavor, but what really makes it stand out is its size. “Our slogan is ‘Big food, big drinks, big fun,’ ” Anthracite manager Lauren Kaye said. “Who doesn’t love a big cocktail? It’s a real showstopper.” “It seems like any time someone orders one and it comes out of the bar through the table area, people see it and order one for themselves.” The Mango Sangarita combines tequila, mango puree, Triple Sec and sangria into a large scooner to make a tasty, chilly

and sweet drink. The drink was created by owner Mike Prushinski, the man behind many a dish at the restaurant. It’s been on the menu for quite some time, and Kaye said it isn’t going anywhere any time soon. The bonus to this libation? “It’s great to share with your friends,” Kaye said. “All you have to do is ask for extra straws.” ••• MANGO SANGARITA Served at: Anthracite Café, 804 Scott St., Wilkes-Barre Price: $8 Recipe: • 3 ounces Jose Cuervo Gold • 1ounce Triple Sec • 1 1/2 ounces mango puree • 3 ounces sangria Blend ice, Cuervo, Triple Sec and mango purée. Pour sangria into scooner. Pour mango margarita frozen mixture on top of sangria to get a layered effect. Garnish with fresh lime, and as many straws as you would like.

tion, with the two large fillets easily enough for two meals. A side of steamed vegetables actually had some taste, and the hand-cut fries that came with were delish, albeit served lukewarm. Dollar lobster nights are popular on Thursdays, so we missed out, but we did come on clam night (Monday), when a dozen go for $5. Landlubbers should have no complaints about the absolutely huge ribeye steak, which sizzled and sang. Said a guest: “This is better, hands-down, than … ” and we’ll leave out the name of the exclusive establishment near these parts he named, just in case he caught them on a bad night. BEVERAGES? Nothing notable in the non-adult category, but lots of draft and bottle choices to speak of. PRICES: Moderate. THE LOCATION: 39 Allen St., Nanticoke CONTACT: 570-735-5550
