Chas and I got up this morning about 11am and headed to The Peacock Room in our pj's for Cereal Sunday; a morning of free cereal, pop tarts, other breakfast-y things, and booze (they charged for that!) among cartoons like Jonny Quest, Speed Racer, Justice League, etc. We were interviewed and photographed by people from the Orlando Sentinel covering the event, so it is likely there will be a picture and/or quote from from us in their article, which they said will be out sometimes this week in the Life and Times section.
Visited my grandad very briefly, and went to mall for me to get a few things. Rested a bit at home before heading to Bosphorus for dinner. Oh it was so good! There was so much on the menu I wanted to try. Glitter and I decided that we are definitely going back to do a meze dinner, order a bunch of appetizers and share, much like the Spanish tapas. Chas and I had two appetizers to start out with: a pan fried zucchini cake/fritter with garlic yogurt sauce and pan fried filo dough cigars with feta and seasonings inside. For our main courses, I had these "ravioli" type things...they were really more like lamb dumplings with a spiced yogurt sauce, and Chas had these char-grilled kebab things made with both beef and lamb, along with rice pilaf and vegetables. Glitter had this lamb and veggie stew in an earthenware dish, and her to-be had some called Sultan's Delight, though not sure exactly what it was, however it looked good, and I am glad he was brave enough to try the food, for he was rewarded. My parent's both had lamb dishes, and our other diner had a salad that he demolished. They also served this really thin and puffy bread, though I am not sure what it is called. For dessert, we all had different things...I had almond pudding, but I don't remember what everyone else had. And my dad and Glitter had some Turkish coffee...it is not known to be weak stuff. Glitter was a trapped electron, bouncing wherever she could. We walked Park Avenue is the hot humid air for a bit before going home.
My swag:
I got a wacky pack box of cards and an album to collect them in from one of our friends.
I got "Gear" by Alton Brown from Glitter and to-be.
My parents paid for dinner and gave me a few books, saying more was to come.
And from Chas, I got an iPod Shuffle, which he pre-loaded already.
Ah, well, it's actually my birthday now, hurrah! Maybe my new cell phone will come later today. :)
Sleepy, so going now.
