I think that I was Lebanese in another life.

Had to end my days of freedom with a Big Bang (of food) seeing that I have to go back to work tommorrow. I ended my school year of 2010 at Jasmin 1 five weeks ago and this is how I begin another stressful year.

A little sad but we we love Lebanese cuisine!

You start by eating the pickled stuff. I love pickles.

This is called Kebbeh Nayeh: Ground lamb (Raw) with cracked wheat, some spices and drizzled with olive oil.. You grab some Lebanese bread and pinch some meat inside and eat. It's delicious.

Fried Kebbeh: Ground lamb with pinenuts on the inside of these meat bullet-looking shells. This is AWESOME!! But my friend Rania does it better. YUM!!!!

Mixed plate: Lebanese sausage, lamb shish, grilled chicken, kebbeh, falafel, baba ghanoush, hummous and tabouli (sorry for the spelling mistakes). Absolutely incredible.

Grilled chicken with garlic sauce- seriously good food.

Ok...Eric and I are piggies and we were so full!

But there was still room for more: Dessert hahaha.

There was a Lebanese sweet shop next door called "Sweet City". I think I know what heaven must smell like because that shop was absolutely imcredible. The best baklava I have ever eaten comes from this shop.

I love Lebanese food.
