food update

tuesday was a good food day. we ended up going to this little teeny restaurant called "mother's restaurant" over by the immigration office, as they supply lunch to serge and the crew at the factory. they are from kerala, india, so naturally, we were able to enjoy some paper dosa with some really yummy coconut chutney and sambar. mmmmm. we also had oothapum, paratha and fried rice (serge's fave, i know that sounds weird for south indian food, but all the restaurants here have it) and some juice, water and tea. all of that, which we couldn't even finish, cost 22 dirhams, not even $6. insanity.

when i returned from my pilates class, our upstairs neighbors had brought down a HUGE plate of some kind of fried dough dipped in sugary honey syrup. so crispy and light and delicious. not fattening at all, i'm sure. serge managed to eat most of the plate, which makes me fear for his health. 

then, last night (weds), the doorbell rings and it's mustafa (the son) again, with a huge plate piled with a rice dish. it had rice cooked with spices, grilled/sauteed raisins and nuts and peppery lamb. really interesting. they are crazy! always giving us food...

today is the last day of the week, so looking forward to it. off to kindermusik!
