more ethnic cuisine

101 list update:



i had Lebanese food for the first time tonight.
Albert and i went to Lebanese Taverna.
(sorry, Nikki, it was his idea to go there!)

since we were pressed for time and the place was closing in 30 mins, i just went with chicken kabobs.
i didn't have the time to agonize over the menu.

but i also sampled most of Albert's food, too.
it was all very good. yum!
i am definitely going to go back and try some more stuff.

next up Moroccan food!

today, i finished uploading my older artwork to my deviantART account. i didn't include every single thing i've done, just my better work or the pieces that i like the most. i even included some photographs that i did with my digital camera.

now as i create, i will add more of my work to my account.

97. go to a real tea house with Nikki - accomplished!

today, Nikki and i went to a Victorian Tea House.
Tea on the Tiber in Ellicott City.
we did the Afternoon Tea and we really enjoyed ourselves.
we paid $25 (included tax & tip) for our pot of tea, a selection of fruits, cheese, scones, finger sandwiches and desserts.
we each got our own pot of tea.
i got Palm Court and Nikki got a Rose flavored black tea.



yum! the food was quite tasty.
we couldn't even finish it all. took the desserts home with us.


inside the room where our table was.

Nikki was convinced that we were going to be surrounded by old ladies in big hats!
there were mostly older women there, but none in big hats.
i told her that we're going to go back in the spring and wear big floppy hats and floral dresses!
i just like the whole experience of going to a tea house.

of course, neither one of us could leave without buying tea!
i got the Valentine's Tea (so sort of chocolatey tea)
and Nikkie got Earl Gray Supreme.
we gave each other a small tin of the teas that we bought
with guarantees of refills!
we always share our teas with each other, we're such tea junkies.

i swear i was raised in the wrong country!!
(do they have tea houses in Germany?)

20. learn how to ice skate - accomplished!

i had my last ice skating class today. here is my certificate.
(it's now hanging on the fridge!)
so i guess i can consider this task accomplished.
by no means am i a good skater.
(i'm still having trouble with the snowplow stop)
but considering that before this class i had never even been on the ice, i would say that i can ice skate a little.
i'd like to take the next level class (Alpha) but it depends on when it is offered.

since only 2 of us showed up for this last class,
out instructor, Joe, showed us a couple of more advanced moves.
like learning to spin.
that was fun, but a little scary.

oh and i never fell!
except for the one time Joe told us to.
