Wednesday evening Liam and I abandoned the troops at the bus stop and headed off on a date, technically I abandoned them to meet up with Liam, after loading them up with groceries and children to carry home....
Anyway, Liam had found some promising reviews on a Afghani place in Bethesda. The food was fantastic! So many flavors, spicy, savory, sweet, YUMMY. I am giving it a top ten rating (one of the 10 best meals I have ever eaten).
Liam sample slow roasted lamb and spinach, while I tried pumpkin stew with savory basmati rice. While we were oohing and awing over our plates Liam confessed that he takes me to these places so that I will reproduce the dishes at home.
Over the last three months I have decided cooking is indeed my favorite hobby. I love food. I love to eat.
Last night we were treated to a restaurant at home as Sheelagh turned out some dishes she sampled in Spain (though technically they are Moroccan), beautiful and interesting=perfect dinner. The girls turned their noses up initially but came around in the end.
*Since writing this bit we have returned to the Afgani places twice, first to celebrate Sheelagh's birthday, then to wind up our visit with friends from Germany. It is a small place and we were recognized immediately by the staff, when we were leaving this time the host said, "Alright well see you next week", this means of course we must take Papa Vic to sample the Afghani goodies!
Oh yea? We had Walkers Crisps today
