Weekend Food

A little peek into the kitchen over the weekend. A pizza made with tomatoes from my uncles garden and banana peppers, some lemon chicken with kalamata olives over israeli couscous, and a Sunday morning omellete featuring more of those garden tomatoes. I’m trying to get as much of them in as possible, before they go back to being those tasteless red lumps in the grocery store.

On Sunday our neighbors invited us to join them for a party, and we stuffed ourselves (I’m still full!) with Samak bi Tahini, Kafa, and Kabobs. They have a condiment made only of garlic cloves, lemon juice and salt, its the consistency of mayonnaise, and its not at all as strong as you would imagine. I think it would make a delicious sandwich spread. In any case it was all delicious, and there was so much of it, they must have prepared for days. These neighbors are more than we could have ever dreamed of when we were moving in to the cottage. They are so full of life.
