Mideast Feast


This was the sight that greeted us last Saturday night when a double birthday celebration for Jackie & jigs was held at the home of the Jimenezes. Exotic smells & sounds immediately invaded our senses us as we entered their ever inviting home. Small platters of olives, dried fruits, & sundried tomato with feta cheese and pita bread were served as a primer for the evenings feast. I had to control my intake of all the lovely appetizers to have room for the nights main event. Tita Loy as usual pulled out all the stops with all the wonderful dishes she painstakingly researched & prepared for us. There was the cold eggplant with yogurt sauce, Cheese with tomato sauce ( so yummy), Chicken in walnut sauce (which was fabulous), the rice with chickpeas & the lovely Lamb kebabs. Everyone literally stuffed themselves silly with all the great food.
