Middle East Night

Rob and I like to experiment with various cuisines with some friends of ours, Geoff and Jessica Bokish (and their new baby Abigail). So far we've had Greek Night and Mexican Night. It is super fun to attempt a new recipe with ingredients you aren't even sure you can get here in Kansas. So far we've always had success and everything has tasted so yummy.

Last night we had Middle East Night. It was by far my favorite of all the cuisines tried so far. Geoff and Jessica made Afghan flatbread, curry rice, and a Middle Eastern salad. We made kefta kebabs and baklava. Everything was so delicious. My favorites were the salad (with a fabulous dressing made of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic) and the baklava.

Here is all the food (keeping in mind I am NO food photographer), from Left to Right

Here I am grilling the kebabs!


And my proud creation - homemade baklava! It certainly wasn't the easiest thing to make, but so worth it. Especially since they don't sell baklava here in Manhattan.





Is it bad that I ate some for breakfast?
