Bill and Kevin are still going thru Hell with the remodel of their Kitchen and Bathroom so we once again invited them over for dinner. We hadn’t played Mahjong for a while so we worked in playing after dinner. I won big, maybe it was all the wine Billy drank!

We started with some appetizers from Carousel Restaurant a mid-eastern restaurant.. We had Hammos, Mutabbal, Muhammara with Toasted Pita Chips.

We started with one of our favorite summer soups: Papa Al Pomodoro from Italian Country Cook Book Rogers / Gray. This is a tomato and bread soup, and is extremely thick. It is served with a float of virgin olive oil and fresh basil. I LOVE this soup!
The recipe can be found in our blog of: Aug 2, 2006. Click the date to get the recipe.

We then made Basmati Rice, with Goan Shrimp Curry. We have made the Curry many times and really like it. The recipe can be found in our blog entry of March 9, 2008. Click the link to get the recipe. It is very good!

For dessert we served Apple Pie from Clementine. I really wish the Clementine would open on the East Side of Los Angeles! The pie is a bake at home pie and is as good as any you can make from scratch!

We then served Stilton Blue Cheese and Port while we are playing Mah Jong!
