Class today was excellent. We're presently covering the changes to Palestine and the birth of Israel (1937 - 1948). A fascinating and complex subject, for certain.
Following class, Allison and I decided to embark on our "Food Cart Stroll" down 4th Avenue. The plan is to have lunch at each cart on the block (about 12); starting at one end of the block and working our way down. Today, the first in line is Lebanese, "Ahla W Sahla". Allison ordered a beef shawarma sandwich and I had the chicken. The meat is grilled and wrapped in warm toasted flat bread with lettuce and chopped onion and tomato with a yogurt sauce Both were freshly cooked while we chatted with the owner/chef who moved from Beirut to Portland five years ago.
Next week we're going to Nong's Khao Man Gai.
