Roger prepared an authentic Iranian dinner for our guests on Sunday. Kabob is an important item and the meat must be cooked on a charcoal grill, preferably on mesquite coals, so he prepared steak, lamb, chicken and ground beef kabobs with saffron rice.
Pictured is a dish that is similar to American potato salad but it has a larger variety of ingredients. All the items are precooked, then chopped and mixed with seasonings, mayonnaise and yogurt. Included are potatoes, diced carrots, peas, dill pickles, boiled egg, cooked chicken breast, green olives and celery. It's actually like a main dish so we enjoyed some lunches from the leftovers.
It has been a pleasant week with a variety of activities. Last night I attended a meeting hosted by Tri-Met to learn about the new MAX line that will run down Lincoln Street (right outside our condo). It will be wonderful to have train transport just steps away but there is also a noise impact that is being addressed. It's a four year project that won't begin until next summer so there's a lot more that we need to learn.
Now we're looking forward to a weekend visit with Mike and Teresa and next week Bella and I will fly to Sacramento for a short visit with Lodi and S.F. friends and family.
Weather is still cool and often also "drippy" but the trees are full of flowers and greenery so we know that nicer weather will be here soon.
