This was the last Saturday night we could play Mah Jong with our friends Billy and Kevin, because Billy is leaving for South East Asia for 5 weeks of traveling.

We served a lot of great red wines to celebrate. We think that the Hummus at Joan’s on 3rd Street is absolutely the best. In addition, they have incredibly crispy pita chips. For another appetizer we picked up the Baba Ganoush at Marouch Lebanese Restaurant. The Baba Ganoush is very smoky tasting. Every one loved it. We love their Yogurt Kabobs, when we eat there we always order it!

For our main course we made Expatriate Roast Chicken with Preserved Lemons and Olives from the The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen by Paula Wolfert. The chicken is cooked in the oven over a water bath, that has grated onion and cinnamon in it. The result is a crispy chicken that is very moist with a Moroccan flavor. We served it with cous-cous.

Half way through the mah jong game we served desert. We went to Whole Foods and bought 7 different small deserts from Perfectly Sweet Bakery. Cheese Cake, Boston Cream Pie, German Chocolate Cake, Carrot Cake, Lemon Pie, etc. We each a little bit of each one. It was quite a sugar rush. We played until 1pm. When we quit Cathy was ahead!

Fun Night, we will miss Billy and our Sat. nights.
