last night dinner

Post by Arcadia » November 15th, 2008, 8:53 am

since my cardiologist told me that my blood pressure was already ok with the almost-non-salt diet, I ate whatever I want last night with some friends at a new edition of Colectividades Fest here! :lol:

Well, we started with falafel & local beer in Líbano (delicious and with form, when I tried to cook them some months ago they were delicious but with some disgragated form after I fried them... I bought in Lebanon stands a pre-made-mix for the next time!). We also met here Olga, an old lady, daughter of sirian and lebanese that translated to us the songs that the folk ballet were dancing. She surprised me, most of the songs were encouragment songs to re-build Líbano. She told us also that in half an hour we could listen to a band-en vivo in the first year palestinian tent here. So there we went..!

While waiting for the band we visited the palestinian stands, full of information and we ate the best lamb-shawarma we ever ate!!!!! (full agreement in that!) . The band sounded great (loved the percussion instruments, the laud and something like a confortable sitar) also the full-time-smiling-singer-in-arab (no idea what he was saying this time, Olga arrived later because she was waiting his neice to dance in Lebanon stands). And I also realized how to dance dabke!. We asked for spice-sauce with the shawarma so the beer must went on...!

When the last bises and dances in the palestinian stand finished, we went to Peru because one of my friends was antojado with eating anticucho (cow heart in the brasas with spices and a kind of green-spicy-sauce). It tasted good (I tried only a bit)!!!!.

Looking for sweets I suggested Sicilia stands, so we ate there pignolatas and canolis!!!!! so delicious!!!!!!

You have to drink something after sweets, but beer is not appropiate for that... the near possibilities without walking too much (it was too hot and an spectacular lighting storm was already behind the Flag Memorial) were marsala, caiphirinhas and lemoncello. We choosed semi-frozen lemoncello from Puglia´s stand!!

(the end :wink: )
