Apparently About Food

Last weekend was unexpected. First, we thought we were going to have Tina here for a night and Brianna here for dinner a different evening. And then we were planning to leave on Sunday for home (doctor and such). But then we learned on Friday that both of these things, unfortunately, were not going to happen this weekend. So the weekend went from being full and nice to empty and sad (ok, not that sad, because any day off is a good day off). I thought, we should go home on Saturday then and get another day with the family. But then we ended up having coffee with Tina yesterday evening (which was very pleasant... I love you, Tina!), and making plans for a Sunday lunch. So home again on Sunday. In the mean time, Nidhal and I had made some loose plans for Saturday afternoon only to get a call from Alex last night suggesting a lunch meeting. Of course that sounds wonderful (we love Alex, too), and therefore, the weekend went from full to empty to full in the course of one day.

We had lunch with Alex at Seva, a vegetarian restaurant on Liberty. It was really really tasty. Nidhal had couscous, which tasted Morrocan. I had a vegetable and goat cheese sandwich, and that was also very good.

Tonight we're eating liver, which is a stretch for me. I've tried kidneys before, and they tasted like pork. And now it's liver... I don't know, I don't know.
