This weekend was super exciting and I didn't even expect it to be. Friday night Mr. E and I went to check out The Hunger Games and we loved it. I've been reading the books and have now become obsessed with the trilogy. The producers did this movie justice~~~ No spoilers here...just get to the theater and go see it!!!!
Saturday was great. We were supposed to have gloomy rainy weather but surprisingly it turned out to be an awesome day. I got the chance to hang out with one of my nearest and dearest friends Kandice. We hadn't hung out in such a long time and it was so good to see her and just catch up. As so many young women have a multitude of "friends", Kandice and I relate to one another SO WELL. It's like sometimes I feel we were separated at birth. We have very similar tastes, we're both newlyweds and our husbands are so on the same page sometimes it's shocking, and what good is a friendship if you can't shop together and have an amazing meal together. Riding through the gorgeous town of Ridgewood, NJ we were starving!!!!! We decided to take a chance on a small Mediterranean restaurant and I swear it was the best meal I had consumed in months!!!!!
The restaurant is called Mediterraneo and it's a small, quaint yet flavorful burst of all things Middle Eastern.
We ordered 3 tapas {appetizers} b/c they were smaller portions and we wanted to share. We ordered
1. Mediterranean Cigar Rolls with a cheese and mint flavor
2. Warm Goat Cheese Salad
3. Pork with Whiskey Sauce
It was love at first bite!
For dinner we ordered
1. Moroccan Lamb Stew with couscous
2. Lamb Kebabs
Love at second bite
Every morsel was mouth watering. My palette is quite distinctive so when I get asked "what do you want to eat" pizza, subs, and fast food are the FURTHEST thing from my mind. What I really want to say is "Moroccan, Greek, Turkish, Indian" but in fear that I'll get judged I pretty much almost say "i don't care, i'm indecisive lets get whatever".
I'm so glad I have a friend like Kandice that I can scream I WANT TO SATIATE MY PALETTE and she totally gets it!!!!
