An Arabic Meal

December 2013

Year 4 – Week 17
Sunday, December 1, 2013 

6:34 pm

Hubby and I had a very special Arabic meal this afternoon in Watertown.  A friend of his was doing a photo shoot at a restaurant to update their website, and needed folks to populate the place on a rainy Sunday afternoon.  So we volunteered to eat and allow our images, mostly our hands, to be photographed.  

Kareem’s Restaurant is a beautiful, zen place at 99 Common Street, a side street off Mt. Auburn very close to Watertown Square with a cheery yellow facade, big windows, classy dining room and open kitchen.  

 The chef, Ahmad Yasin, welcomes everyone. He is an affable fellow.  With the open kitchen, we got to watch the entire process as he chops, blends and cooks the freshest ingredients.  Nothing like dinner and a show!

 We started with the house made Sharaab al Rawda -Pomegranate “drink of the garden” a tart, refreshing fruit beverage.  It’s the kind of drink that makes you feel healthier as you sip it.

 We shared two appetizers with Hubby’s friend – classic hummus and royal beet hummus.  Both were incredibly smooth and flavorful.  They were served with fresh pita bread.

 We also got to try the Smoked Salmon Kibbeh – The chef’s specialty – with wheat, smoked salmon, spices, herbs, and extra virgin olive oil.

 The entrees come with the Lemon-mint Drizzled Fatoosh Salad- The word Fatoosh derives from the Arabic root word “to crumble,” or small crunchy pieces of pita bread. It is a wonderful, healthy and refreshing salad with a light lemon-based dressing, romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, radish, fennel and hint of fresh mint.

Hubby had the Kibbeh entree – an amazing square of ground lamb kneaded with bulgur wheat. The filling consists of ground lamb cooked with onions, spices and pine nuts. Served with homemade yogurt and grilled asparagus.

 I had the best stuffed grape leaves I’ve ever tasted!  A mixture of lamb, rice and spices rolled into the grape leaves cooked in fresh lemon juice. Served with homemade yogurt.

As a thank you for helping out with the photo shoot, the chef gave us dessert – Kanafa: A classic Arab dessert in which “jubnah hulwah,” sweet white cheese is baked between two layers of shredded filo pastry, pistachios and orange flavored syrup. Baked to golden color and served warm.  It was very light and the flavors danced on my tongue in an amazing cheesy, nutty, crunchy, fruity treat.

The place is open on Saturdays and Sundays 11 am – 8 pm by reservation only, and they only take cash or checks.  There was easy parking on the wide street.  He also caters, so I might be able to order for work sometime.  My mouth has not been this happy in a long time!

9:25pm
Speaking of aging gracefully, did you see these folks?  You look better than any of them kid!

Good morning kid!  Hope you have a fine Saturday on tap!

I’m figuring out how to be in two places at once… Mom’s for her pills and lunch, and a memorial dedication for a friend’s young son who died in February.  I think I told you about going to his funeral.  So sad.  Wonderful there will be a lasting, useful memorial to him.

12:23pm Phil

Good morning.
Going to the outlets shopping for the day

Good morning to you kid!  Wednesday is here with 60 degrees and 60 mph winds and rain!  Bleh.  I’m off to the office for half the day!

8:00am Phil

10 degrees here with wind. I’ll trade ya

11:41am Phil

Sending a smile your way! Have a great day!

[photo of him at home smiling]
11:42am
Thanks kid!  Mwah!
Thanks for the retirement ceremony photos – some great shots!

11:46am Phil 

It was a fun event. Lots of pomp and ceremony.
Mom loved it.

3:48pm Phil

Suffering

[photo of him with a cigar and scotch out in the garage]
3:49pm 
Are you hiding in the garage?
I adore your smile.

3:51pm Phil  

Yep, got a heater in here
       
3:53pm
Why are you hiding?

3:54pm Phil 

Not hiding, just relaxing
I can have a cigar out here

3:55pm 

Aha.
I’m home munching on Chinese food.
Watching porn.

4:01pm Phil

Excellent!
        
4:47pm Phil
Supposed to do that with someone.
Get all worked up with no one to play with

4:48pm 

I’ve never watched with someone there… wonder what that’s like?
I have watched with a very nice man far away… you made it very hot!

4:50pm Phil

Ha! Much more fun with someone, toys, lube, and lots of bodily fluids.
Try the stuff you are watching. It’s great fun!

5:14pm Phil 

Enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving! My last one here.
Making the traditional dinner tomorrow.
Pies to bake tonight and cheesecake.

5:17pm 

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I’ll be at my sister’s as usual, washing dishes!
Hubby got her to invite one of his ladies.

5:19pm Phil
Turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes casserole, green bean casserole, stuffing, gravy, whiskey sours, creamed herring, fresh cranberry sauce and of course football

5:20pm 

I wish I was with you… Sis is making her usual raft of odd things.
And invited 17 people.
We do get latkes since some of her friends are celebrating Hanukkah!
           
5:21pm Phil
Hubby’s lady? Really? WHAT THE FUCK?!
 No respect

5:22pm

Nothing like a modern family!

5:22pm Phil 

That’s not modern
 I’d have said hell no.
I’m a little old fashioned

5:24pm 

Well, her boyfriend was there last year
It won’t kill me

5:24pm Phil  

Whose boyfriend?

5:24pm 

Sis

5:25pm Phil  

Thought she was married.

5:26pm 

Yup.  and poly.
I know, it sounds radical.

5:28pm Phil

Oh, had no idea. Whatever works.
I’m not ever going to judge.
It’s a short ride and everyone should be happy.

5:30pm

Your kids coming there?

5:31pm Phil

I have wonderful friends who swing.
Been naked in a hot tub with them.
Been in a pool full of naked people. Was actually a lot of fun.

No she is staying home. We did Thanksgiving while she and Mom were here.

Just four extra folks who have no place to go

I have the sex life of a monk, funny, I’m as wide open as it gets

       
5:38pm
Yeah… me too for the most part

5:38pm Phil 

Lucky us

5:40pm 

I’d rather be mundane, monogamous…
but fate has dealt me other cards!

5:40pm Phil

Couple of girls blew my world apart. Both amazing.
Mom is best friends with one. It’s a strange world.

Me too. I’m trying, have a good life, love what I do, My wife is good people and I’m pretty happy. Trying to be unselfish for kids and my wife has paid her dues but I’d give a lot for a soul healing hug and to spend a night being touched and loved by a woman who just wants to please me.

5:45pm 

this time last year I really thought you’d be with the Beach Gal this Christmas

5:48pm Phil 

I love the hell out of that girl but she wants someone to take care of her and I’m not sure she would not be just as happy with anyone who was there and taking care of her. I need someone who just wants me, no flirting with others, I’m ten years older than her and I’m afraid she would grow bored with me

5:49pm Phil

She made me happy
My kids would hate me
I cry every night over that one
She’s so wrong yet so right and I just adore her
I’m going to take the big job, live in the big house, play the expected game
How fucked up am I
5:57pm 
Sounds like so many guys I talk to.

6:08pm

I think you’re an idiot.  But it’s not up to me!
I’ll still send you p0rn no matter who you live with, kid.

[He called me!]

7:44pm
Thank you so much for calling!

9:20pm Phil

Good morning kid!  Happy Monday!
Brrr…wicked cold 19 degrees.
Stay warm!

9:54am Phil

Yeah cold here too! Doing inside chores today! Enjoy the day!

It’s Turkey week! Planning a drive to DC to scout housing and find a place. House we own just rented again. Military family. I need to rent it a few more years. Then sell both houses, buy a beach house in Fla and relax.

3:05pm

FYI – putting this out there.  If you are going alone to D.C. and staying somewhere alone and would have a little time, and want to see me… I can get to Baltimore for $166 RT in early December.  Or you’re welcome to pop up here.  If not, never mind!
       
3:32pm Phil
My wife is going. Gotta find a home and staying with friends.  This will be a quick very busy run. I don’t have much time left and starting to feel a little rushed

3:33pm
Ah well.  Figured.
But never want to miss a chance to say “I WANNA!”

3:35pm Phil
Ha ha! Nothing but an older gentleman here anyway

[photo of him at his desk smiling]
3:36pm Phil
I used to be so young, now I’m so old. Look like someone’s Grandpa
       
3:36pm
You are the youngest looking guy for our age that I’ve seen!
       
3:38pm Phil
Well at least everything still works and I can keep up in the gym

[photo of him just out of the shower with his hair all mussed up and naked shoulders]

3:38pm
The guy I met Fri looks like this –

3:39pm Phil

James Brolin I think, he’s a lot older than me

3:39pm 

This is one of the good looking ones… last one looked like Ed Asner!

3:40pm Phil 

Brolin is a good looking guy
3:40pm
Trust me… you look young, and handsome

I get emails every day from the dating service and good god almighty most of them?  Bleh

3:41pm Phil

Good living I guess
I just try to enjoy the ride

3:41pm

Absolutely!  And you are a good guy too.
Not just a pretty face!

3:42pm Phil 

I try to be. It costs nothing to be kind and pleasant

3:42pm
I want to sit on that face, BTW

3:45pm Phil

Ha ha, now that sounds like fun.
I try not to take myself or anything else too seriously, seems to help.
Still very active and I feel good and that helps.
Got my Mom’s genes

3:45pm

I am feeling really good these days, noticing the difference from a year ago when it seems like everything was messed up – job, foot, guys…
       
3:46pm Phil
Glad to hear that.
Getting laid every once in awhile helps too

3:48pm 

Haven’t done that in too long, but I have prospects!

3:49pm Phil

Well good, prospects are good

4:02pm

I feel like Elvis most of the time
“A little less talk, A little more ACTION!”  Ha ha

10:13am Phil
Nothing like a good hand.     
Job

10:17am

Very true!  Lube, hand, manmeat…great combo!
       
10:22am
So do people still invite you to stuff, talk to you or are you out of the loop now?

11:36am Phil

Still in the mix, the neighborhood is like that.
See everyone around so it’s still pleasant
       
11:37am
Nice!  If I recall correctly, there are a lot of parties coming up!

11:47am Phil
Oh yeah [he listed a bunch of parties]

I need to drive to DC, drop a car off and check out places to live

11:49am

Going to be a lot closer soon

11:24am

He has a Ford Explorer with that big third row bench seat…

11:25am Phil
