The owner is Lebanese and his wife is Hispanic. He taught her all of his traditional recipes. They are the nicest people you will ever meet and the food is out of this world. Better than anything you could ever imagine. Once you try their hummus, everything else tastes terrible in comparison. Try the spinach pie.

And the rambutan sounds delicious, and the picture of your kitty "attacking" it is just priceless. Your Whole Foods sounds like heaven, they let you try the fruit, and I remember you had a post a while back about an ice cream tasting where they let you pick out which ice creams you wanted to taste? Heaven! I might have to visit AZ just for that. =) Oh, and around here, dinner at 11:30 is quite normal- sometimes we look at each other at, like, 9 and say, "what's for dinner?" 2-3 hours and a production later, we have something on our plates. We don't feel bad, we just say it's more "continental" this way- ha ha.<br /><br />Have a great day!bazuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020880461667324114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-11153363525598997102006-09-17T23:01:00.000-07:002006-09-17T23:01:00.000-07:00YAY RAMBUTAN!

One of my favorite things was trying all of the native fruit. It was so amazing because everyday we would go buy fresh (and super cheap) produce at the outdoor markets. It was the best fruit I've ever had in my life. I'm excited to see that you got it here in the U.S., but I you still have to try it over there some day because I guarantee its better there. I bought Longan (my favorite SE Asian fruit) in the US, and it wasn't even close- which really dissapointed me. I'm glad you liked the rambutan tho.<br /><br />OOOhhh I really like the vase/pitcher/bong from Lebanon. That is such a great buy- especially since its hand painted. I too would love to go there someday.<br /><br />I've never been a huge fan of syrup (but maybe thats because I grew up on Aunt Jemima), but I do love pancakes and blueberries. Do you think it would be wierd to make blueberry syrup with agave instead?<br /><br />-Teresa<br />p.s. glad to hear that you're feeling better!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753640845806353841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-6314113785987752432006-09-17T21:40:00.000-07:002006-09-17T21:40:00.000-07:00the rambutan is such a pretty fruit & i'd like to...the rambutan is such a pretty fruit & i'd like to try it sometime. i think it's hilarious how you knocked out the guys on the punk rock gravy - way to go, you flattened them out pancake style --- speaking of pancakes.... the pina colada variety sounds soo good to me.Vicki's Vegan Vicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786229426003858902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-45034476972896975912006-09-17T19:12:00.000-07:002006-09-17T19:12:00.000-07:00Pancake heaven!

Jim and I just went to an incredible Lebanese restaurant here last night, hands down the best place I've ever eaten. When you make it out here, I'll take you.<br /><br />I haven't made those pancakes before, but they aren't really my flavor, with the pineapple and coconut. We just had the pumpkin waffles the other day, but as pancakes. And I just found some pomegrante molasses at an international grocery the other night, so I'm going to make the BBQ tofu this week, with coconut rice. I'll let you know how it turns out!<br /><br />That fruit would have been a major freak out food for me, had I not been able to try it at the store! Wow, I've heard of it, but never seen it before. How do you eat it exactly? Killian looks so cute, Bindhi would love that kind of thing, too. One of her favorite things to paly with are new potatoes. I'll toss a couple of them on the floor and she'll play hockey with them and carry them around in her mouth. The trouble for me is keeping tabs on them so they don't end up under the couch!<br /><br />How's your website stuff coming along? I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better, I'm just sorry that it's taken so long to get back to normal.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177007259762474175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-78885862500565388832006-09-17T13:41:00.000-07:002006-09-17T13:41:00.000-07:00Your pancakes look really good...

I swear, If I make 5lbs of mashed potatoes, my kids and husband and I can eat them all.. mostly my kids and husband. My oldest son is almost 15 and could probably kill of 5lbs himself. Insane!<br /><br />btw, I saw your comments on Catherine's blog about the cast iron. You can buy pre-seasoned pans from Lodge. I think they are sold in most stores now even, so you don't have to cure yours in the oven.MeloMealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957104951513167524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22004436.post-91354140130774624272006-09-17T13:12:00.000-07:002006-09-17T13:12:00.000-07:00Hi Crystal.

Although it makes only the difference to me if it is easy (and the later mood portrayed to Ray, hee hee). Anyway, that list would be helpful if it's ok. I have a mental one but there's not-so easy stuff on there, I just love it.<br /><br />I don't think the pancakes are more like dessert, but it is on the sweet side. I always use stone ground whole wheat flour, flax, some sort of fruit, soymilk and I feel those can be desserty but you've seen my desserts, so pancakes is really just regular food. I don't eat it in the morning though- never. <br /><br />I'd love to explore the world more too, to see and to eat! I'm not really dizzy these days... it has subsided and it is only sometimes now. It has set me back in many aspects of life and I am starting to slowly feel like myself again. I'm still not 100 percent, but I really appreciate you asking. You are always so kind, thanks Crystal.<br /><br />Kate, if you have either book, try them out.

I don't usually eat breakfast food (waffles, pancakes, tofu scrambles, etc.) but I'm starting to really like them and have been adding them to my repertoire more often. I actually made french toast this morning and it was really delicious. I always know when Marty especially likes something because he'll ask, "Was it easy to make?" If it's good and easy, it makes it into his list of items that he asks me to make. I'll have to take it from you and try breakfast for dinner. Although it sort of feels more like dessert, doesn't it?<br /><br />Haji baba sounds like a neat little place to shop. I love stores that are so random like that (selling pomogranite juice and rugs!). What a beautiful vase.<br /><br />My friend who went to Thailand was telling me about the Rambutan. After seeing a picture of one, my first thought was the same as yours. Bailey would LOVE to play with it. There are so many exotic fruits and veggies around the world that I have never heard of, much less seen. I would love to explore and experience and travel more.<br /><br />Just curious how you've been feeling these days. Are you still feeling dizzy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
