A Visit to Morocco...I wish!

Last night, while Hayden was at a family party with his dad, Kyle and I went out on the town (that's a big deal when you're a single, full-time working mama). We started the night out at Cedars of Lebanon. I have always wanted to try the food there, but I (yes, probably me more than Kyle) was really excited to see the belly dancers. Sadly, we didn't get to see them even though we were there durning a good time I thought (6:30-7:30). However, we were lucky enough to sit in the dining area under the indoor tent and the cushioned seats. Our table was more of an ottoman with a huge tray on it for our food. It was comfy and it felt much more authentic than eating in the regular dining room.

I tried to get pictures of our food. The problem was that everytime we were served anything, I was so excited to try it that I didn't get a picture beforehand. Needless-to-say, all the food pics were taken after partial consumption. Oh well, I guess you still get the idea.

Our hummus appetizer with super soft pita bread.

This doesn't look as yummy as it tasted. Apparently, this is the moroccan version of moussaka...one of my favorite Greek dishes. I expected a layered dish, but this was delicious and incredibly healthful (I had already eaten half the veggies before this pic).

Kyle got the pastilla...because of me! I think he originally planned on ordering something else, but then I mentioned that I wanted to try this dish the next time we came so he went ahead and ordered it. This isn't the first time he has done this either. Ever since our first dinner together (our second date) we have always shared eachothers food. Sometimes he asks me what I plan to order and if I am torn between a couple of options then he goes ahead and orders the one that I didn't (I know, he is incredibly sweet). Afterwards, we went and saw one of the non-mainstream movies "Win Win" which was playing down the street. Loved the movie, too! All-in-all it was fun night.

On a side note: Earlier in the week we finally had a chance to meet Lucy, Kyle's new dog. Kyle got her from one of the Mike, a trainer at the gym (I met Mike awhile ago when he was mentioned in one of the tabloids for dating Michelle Money from the Bachelor). Mike got it from Derron Williams whose wife was the original owner. Lucy is a French Bulldog and I guess she cost a few thousand dollars. Kyle got her for free and he has the papers showing that Derron was the first owner.

We played with her outside for the longest time...she is so cute. Hayden loved her and even got her to fetch a little bit.
