[Kovi]

I made lamb sheppards pie once. it was good

 

[deliciouspie]

I had Lamejun once when I lived in Israel for a year. Those who haven't tried it don't know what you're missing.

this has been an uncompensated advertisement for Eastern Lamejun in Belmont

Eastern Lamejun: for when you want awesome food and to be yelled at by elderly armenian ladies

Stand by while I make a note of the place and where it is. I'll have to try it. If they yell at me in Armenian, I'll yell back at them in Hebrew.

 

[deliciouspie]

also for those who are into pickled stuff, come on down, turshi is your ambrosia

that might just be me because i'm a mutt who looks like a full-blood and haven't been raised in the church or any of the other traditions beyond the culinary (which, let me be clear here, is a hell of a tradition in itself) so they can get a bit snarky

Yet you only had it once? Is that because of the other totally awesome menu choices, or because it's a good thing that we don't know what we're missing?

I like those picked tomatos that the Jewish delis sell but is this a good recipe for Turshi ?

Ah yes meetings. Where the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.

 

[deliciouspie]

you know, i've never made my own, but the good stuff i've purchased at the orthodox church fairs have had garlic and pepper flakes in the brine medium and it was delicious

the key with turshi in my opinion is to go all crunchy, all day son; the tomatoes tend to get squishy, so avoid those, and instead of rolling with standard crappy cucumbers move up to armenian (also known as "persian") cucumbers and lay in the sea of flavor

 

[WickedBruinsGirl]

Love lamb too. Usually make it for Easter.

Amazing what some new highlights can do for a girl. I love that my hairdresser is more excited than me haha. Early bday present to myself.

I'm going to Max & Dylan's for dinner tonight. Good thing I'm not emotionally prepared to start my diet yet.

Go there before the Bruins.. 25% off (at the Charlestown one)

While we're on food, is there anyplace that makes a decent pita bread ? I used to buy the bread from a place in Tiberias and it was so warm and smelled so good that no place in this country comes close. Plus the individual breads were the size of pizza and I'd 2 or 3 on the way back to my place.

my meeting got put off till 515

[deliciouspie]

eastern made them in the past but i think they're getting them from another baker in the area

they are all p tasty but not piping hot out of the oven, which i understand where you're coming from

 

[Glove Malfunction]

I'm leaving for home. Maybe I'll get something accomplished there...

Guess there's only one choice. Tell the kids and the wife we're moving to Israel next week. Whoops, wait a sec.

I google searched for Mid East bakeries and I'll just to try Droubi Bakery in Roslindale and see how that goes.

Like you eat your hot dogs?

Well not everyone can open their mouth wide enough to eat it horizontally like you...

 

[ksp1957]

Well not everyone can open their mouth wide enough to eat it vertically like you...
