Crunch like nuts in the mouths of squirrels

Sunday, November 24, 2002 » food general update

So last night, for Jason's birthday, we all went to Chef Karim's for Moroccan food. Who knew they had food in Morocco! Or insanely good food at that, even if one of the courses was chicken with cinnamon and powdered sugar. Weirdtastic. Other dishes included Unidentifiable Salad, and evil honey-mint hybrid tea, chicken kebabs, cookies that were approximately six million percent honey, and the Best Bread Ever. A belly dancer was also present. And there was the guy with the gold shirt, of course, but he was dumb. The entire meal cost $7,410,582.32 after tax.

We returned to the apartment and Jason was presented with, among other things, a fist. So we took it to Denny's.

Tonight Morgan, Carly and I (Jason was stranded in Paperland) went to the home of Professore Antonio Artese for Cuciniamo!, a cooking get-together presented by UCSB's Italian Club. Our entry was an eggplant parmesan recipe discovered by Carly. Other recipes included pasta bolognese, gnocchi al pesto, and lasagna graziedando. (*3-hit pretentious italics combo*) They were all excellent, but our own recipe ended up being the judges' favorite. So, we all get breakfast at a local Italian place. Hoo-wa.

Now I have about 40 hours of kitchen cleaning and work to do.
