Good Food

I recently found out that the only Middle Eastern restaurant we have here isn't open anymore and I was distraught for a couple of days. I was even thinking of going back to KL. No kidding. So what's my solution to this predicament? To surround myself with friends who know how to cook! After living in Dunedin for several years there's not much I can get very excited about unless my idea of having fun means a) travelling around South Island (which costs a lot of $$) and b) getting absolutely smashed on the weekends, which isn't my idea of fun by the way, just in case anyone is wondering! Well ya never know. People have all sorts of wrong and weird ideas. 

But food (combined with good company, of course) never fails to get me going. In the 3 weeks that I've been back I've had the privilege of eating Afghani and Arabic food cooked by my friends *drools* and if there's anything I've learned about myself this year it is that I cannot, I just cannot, live without Middle Eastern cuisine.

If I have hummus in my fridge it's enough to make me a happy girl.

2 weeks ago.... 

Afghani food with my favourite girls: Rice with caraway seeds, spicy chick pea curry, potatoes and plain yoghurt, fresh salad

Last weekend...

4 dudes, 2 girls and some yummy Arabic food: Lamb kabsa, tabbouleh, fuul (beans) soup

And whee! There was Wii!

Things got a little heated up during the Wii boxing game. Let's just say never underestimate girl power ;)
