We recently got invited to dinner by one of hubby's squash buddies. The hosts, a Pakistani couple (real-estate-wife and doctor-husband tandem) went all out and prepared a lavish buffet for us and a few other friends from their squash circuit. Their food culture is so similar to ours -- lots of food (there were at least 8 entrees plus the salads and desserts), all prepared from scratch, and everyone is welcome to bring home left-overs.
the food set-up
the lentils tasted like our sauteed monggo, the stewed okra was delicious and spicy, the chicken with sauce was so yummy it reminds me of our chicken asado but more spicy and less tomato sauce
It was a lovely evening with lots of conversation, lots of play time for both adults and kids (there was a ping-pong table, air hockey, xBox, Wii, and many more toys down in the basement), and a great dinner.
