Food

I have decided that an entire post should be dedicated to food. After all, food is a big part of culture, and lets be honest, I love eating.

I couldn’t begin to name all the dishes I have tried on this trip. I can’t say them, let alone spell them. We have eaten mostly Chinese, Indian, some Malaysian, and today, Arabic. I didn’t know Arabic was a kind of food, but since the Lebanese man serving us called it Arabic food, I’m going to go with it. There were a couple of trips to McDonald’s thrown in there, but I like to pretend those didn’t happen.

Chinese food here is nothing like the Chinese food I have eaten in America. I’ve had mostly chicken and rice, and some noodles. My favorite so far was a fried noodle dish from a little stand at a night market. When we first arrived, I had some hesitation about eating at those kinds of places, but after ten days, I’m invincible, or so I like to think.

The Indian food has been delicious also, with different varieties of curry, vegetable dishes, naan, and a couple more kinds of bread that I can’t remember the names of.

The Arabic restaurant today was a feast of rice with several different sauces, lamb, chicken, hummus, olives, and fruit juices. It was probably one of my favorite meals since we’ve been here.

Sarah and I keep telling each other, “We should make this food at home. It can’t be that hard.” We find it amusing, anyway.

That turned into Jen taking the blog over, only to post silly family stories and photos, update family and friends on some happenings, and then abandon it from time to time. Enjoy!
