1) Power outage. The power goes out occasionally here for anywhere from 2-45 min. It went out this week while I was on the elevator! Fortunately, we were just 2 inches from my floor, and our neighbors got the door open for us. Then we reheated dinner on our gas stove by candlelight.
2) Chinese food. We made the long trip (2 mini-buses) to the Chinese restaurant outside of town. Mmmm....beef with peppers, fried rice, egg drop soup, egg roll, and 2 dumplings. What a combo!
3) Ashure. This sweet "soup" (reminds me of oatmeal) is made every January and distributed to your neighbors. This was our second bowl. It's made with barley, chickpeas, white beans, raisins, and apricots, and flavored with (I think) cinnamon and cloves. Very sweet, very good. Tradition says it resembles what Noah ate when they got off the ark.
4) Red beans and rice. Jess brought home some smoked sausages from one of her trips, so we made Emeril's New Orleans-style Red Beans and Rice. It took all afternoon, but it's pretty good!
5) Pamuk. Our lap-kitten has gotten big, but she hasn't outgrown her desire to be near us. Or on top of us.
